Make homework more effective

ASSISTments improves my mathematics homework. Students complete a higher percentage of assignments and care more about the quality of their work with immediate feedback. I love the rich data that I have to start my class. I write most of my own curriculum through ASSISTments which allows me to personalize the assignments to my classes and school.

What a wonderful tool!!!! You can use the skill builders to give additional review for your students or for RTI students. When you use the homework component, you receive a wonderful report that can help guide your instruction. You also have the power to build any assignment that will work for you and you get wonderful and instant feedback on how the students do.

Everything in math builds upon itself and students need proficiency with concepts from earlier years in order to be successful with our 8th grade curriculum. ASSISTments provides the platform to review these older concepts and helps identify students who require more review. ASSISTments then provides students with additional practice problems in conjunction with tutoring to support their learning.

I really like that my struggling students can get real time help from the videos I make and attach to their practice problems. Additionally, I can collect data about the types of problems my students are having success with and those with which they continue to struggle. Consequently, their homework informs my instruction and makes it more efficient and targeted to the needs of my students.

You know how you have kids who are clearly behind in their prerequisite skills and you need to do something about it? Based upon my kids' prerequisite assessments, I used the data to drive which kids got assigned which skillbuilders so they were practicing the skills they needed.

While using ASSISTments, I have seen a considerable increase in the quality work and the depth of their mathematical understanding. I believe that this is due to the fact that my students are getting immediate and quality feedback from and through the ASSISTments platform.

I really like that ASSISTments allows for quick assessment of my students' learning of a particular concept, the ability to check homework in a timely manner, and how it allows me to give immediate feedback to my students while decreasing the amount of time I spend grading.

ASSISTments gives me a stronger understanding of what my students do and do not understand (since many won’t ask questions in class). Students benefit by not only getting used to a tech platform for answering math questions, similar to state standardized tests, but also by getting better at communicating mathematics through open response questions to which I then provide them valuable feedback.

I really like that I can see which students have completed their work, how long it took them, what they struggled with and how they did on the assignment. I am prepared for the next class to either move forward or review certain topics that students need more work on. I like that ASSISTments gives my students an opportunity to explain their work digitally, which helps with our standardized tests.
