What is a Skill Quest? 

Skill Quests are curriculum-aligned sets of questions and an effective way to test if your students meet curriculum standards.   
  
Each Skill Quest targets a single concept from within a Topic. Some Quests will move through more than 1 level – students need to get either a streak of 5 questions correct or 6 out of 8 to complete the level or the Quest.   
  
You can find Skill Quest activities under the Quests tab on the Student Console under Explore.

  1. Log into the Mathletics Teacher Console
  2. Navigate to Assign & Review 
  3. Click Revise (Skill Quests)

  6. Refine your search with the Filter dropdown
  7. Pick the activity box for the student

What is a Challenge? 

Mathletics offers over 700 Problem-Solving & Reasoning (PSR) questions to help students develop their critical and creative mathematical thinking. They’re available under the Challenges tab on the Student Console.
