Enabling My Numeracy activities
My Numeracy works in conjunction with Essential Assessment's Online Assessments. My Numeracy is dependent on a student's pre-assessment results and is compiled of 20 questions.

What is My Numeracy?
My Numeracy is a formative assessment that you can use within the teaching phase to measure if students have caught what you taught. To help reduce cognitive load for students who have been allocated a large number of formative assessments, it is recommended that you only enable one activity at a time to align with the delivery of your teaching.
Enabling My Numeracy
Click on the class you would like to set My Numeracy activities for. Click My Numeracy and switch the My Numeracy toggle to IS ON.
Ensure that the assessment has also been switched on under Manage Class Assessments for students to access the My Numeracy activities.
Enabling My Numeracy activities without completing the pre-assessment
My Numeracy activities can be set prior to students completing the pre-assessment. Click Manage Class Assessments and then click the coloured circle with the + icon.
Click the sidewards arrow to expand the desired year level.
Click the + icon at the top to enable the activity for all students.
Click the + icon next to a student to enable the activity for the individual student.
If you don't want your students to see the pre-assessment until they have completed their activities, you can turn the assessment off by switching the toggle to IS OFF under Assessment Options. Please note that doing this will turn off any assessment that has been enabled in the class.
Other options
My Learning
Enabling My Learning will enable videos demonstrating the concepts covered for each proficiency to launch for students to view automatically.
When enabled, the videos will be launched in order to consolidate the concepts covered in each proficiency.
Note that when My Learning has not been enabled, the videos will still be available for manual viewing by students.
Real-Time Feedback
Enable Real-Time Feedback to give each student feedback as they progress through their activities.
We would recommend that you turn Real-Time Feedback on for your students' first attempts. This will help your students understand how they are progressing through their activities. If you would like to unlock their first attempt so they can change their answers to increase their overall results, you will need to turn Real-Time Feedback off, as leaving this on will not allow them to change their answers.
Continuum Order
Enable Continuum Order to ensure your student completes their My Numeracy activities in curriculum order. This will mean students won't be able to access activities above or below the selected year level.
Tip: If you wish for a student to complete a specific My Numeracy task/s, you will need to set these manually. You can find more information on how to do this here.
Learning Library
Enable the Learning Library so students can view customised videos within their accounts. More information can be located here.
