Assignment Feature resources
Assignments let you send a specific set of Happy Numbers tasks to an ability-based group or a single student, and then see exactly how each one did. While an assignment is open it takes over the student's screen, so the work you picked comes first. The resources below cover the whole flow, from setting one up to choosing what and when, to reading the report.
1. Getting started with the Assignment feature
The full setup: picking students by proficiency, choosing task length and skills, previewing the work, naming it, and setting start and end dates before it goes live.
2. To whom can I assign tasks?
Who gets the work: a single student, a whole class, or ability groups (below, on, above grade), with any skill from any grade open to anyone.
3. How to add a new assignment?
Where to start: the Active, Scheduled, and Ended table, the two Add-assignment buttons, and the Reassign shortcut that resends finished work with the fields pre-filled.
4. Assignment size and completion time
Sizing the task: 5-, 10-, and 15-minute sets for K-2 (one, two, or three skills), longer spans for grade 3 and up, and how the times track a typical student's median pace.
5. How to choose date span of the assignment and when it appears in student accounts?
Timing it right: the start date that drops the task into the student's dashboard, the end-date deadline, and the fact that the learning path stays blocked until the work is done.
6. What do students see in their accounts?
The student's view: the assignment appears at login and blocks everything else, a progress bar where each point is five minutes of practice, and a notification when it's canceled.
7. Interpreting student results on the assignment report page
Reading the report: estimated time and objectives up top, students sorted into Not started, On track, and Need intervention, and a Details view with accuracy and time, red-flagging who needs help.
8. Automatic cancelation of the assignment by Happy Numbers
When it auto-stops: Kindergarten cancels at three times the set time, grades 1-5 at four times, counting only active work, so a student never gets stuck on a task that's too hard.
Together these guides cover the whole arc: turn on assignments, choose who gets them, set the size and dates, and read how students did.
