What Is the View Understanding Page?
The View Understanding page helps you monitor how well each student understands key concepts and curriculum areas (AREs – Age-Related Expectations). It shows:
Each child’s current understanding
Their baseline assessment results
How their understanding has changed over time
Switching between subjects
You can change between data from DoodleMaths, DoodleTables, DoodleEnglish and DoodleSpell by clicking on the different subject icons in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Getting the Level Right
When a child first starts using Doodle, they complete a baseline assessment to determine their starting level. You can:
Start a new baseline assessment at any time from this page
Compare their baseline results with their current understanding
Use this as an ongoing assessment tool to ensure each child is working at the right level
📌 Doodle may recommend a new baseline if a student’s programme seems too easy or too difficult.
View Understanding – Student View
In the Students tab, you’ll see:
A list of curriculum areas (AREs)
Two columns:
Baseline Assessment (left): shows understanding at the time of their last baseline
Current Understanding (right): reflects progress made since then
RAG Rating System:
🔴 Red – Developing understanding
🟠 Amber – Working at expected level
🟢 Green – Exceeding expectations
🟢➕ Green with a plus – Mastered the concept
Assignments only cover the first 15 questions of each ARE. Students need to complete their personalised programme to fully master a topic.
You can also:
Click the arrows to expand topics and view understanding within subtopics
Add Assignments by clicking the plus sign next to an ARE title
Tricky Questions
Teachers can also view any questions pupils have marked as Tricky on this page, making it easy to support pupils in the areas they’re finding challenging. Tricky Questions are the number of questions a student has marked as Tricky to come back to later. This will be indicated with a red exclamation mark. Click on this to view the questions. We recommend that students don't have any more than 5-10 questions in their Tricky Questions folder. Once saved to Tricky Questions, this indicates to the app that the child is struggling with this particular topic and you can help the student with this question.
View Understanding – ARE View
In the ARE tab, you can:
View understanding across the whole class
Filter by year group, ARE, or specific concept
This is ideal for identifying class-wide trends and planning targeted interventions.
Exporting Data
You can export data from both the Student View and ARE View by clicking the Export button in the top right corner. This is perfect for:
Progress review meetings
Sharing insights with colleagues
Informing planning and reporting
