Using Sumdog to identify and fill gaps
You can use your Sumdog subscription to identify gaps by setting low-stakes tests and using the results to focus your students on specific areas while they play games.
Identify gaps: Assess prior knowledge to inform planning and identify gaps by setting a Sumdog assessment
Fill the gaps: After viewing the results, set practice work in game format on the gaps identified
Check progress: Repeat the assessment to identify areas of strength and the next steps
Stage 1: Using assessments to identify gaps
Set a quick informal low-stakes test at the start of a topic to pinpoint gaps in children’s knowledge and understanding. Once your class have had a chance to practise gaps in games, reset the assessment.
Watch this video for a step-by-step guide on how to set assessments.
After you’ve set an assessment, check your results.
