Focus Topics help teachers guide what your students learn in Matific.
Why Use Focus Topics?
Instead of assigning specific activities, teachers can select key concepts (like fractions or multiplication), and Matific will guide students toward those skills across Adventure Island, Arena, and Training Zone.

Click Set Focus and click Add Focus Topic

Once the focus topic has been added, it will also appear on the Teacher Dashboard, making it easy to see what your class is currently focusing on.
