My Take

Everyone that uses ASSISTments loves it. The students love how they get instant feedback, can work at their own pace, and do not have to do extra work (one feature stops them after 3 correct problems in a row). Teachers love ASSISTments because it saves time with grading, gives instant feedback on an individual and class level, creates detailed reports, and engages the students to a higher level of motivation.

How I Use It

I use both the ASSISTments created content and my own content with my classes. Using the ASSISTments Certified content allows me to supplement material for learners who need intervention. Using the textbook content, along with my own content, allows me to save 20 minutes each day from the tedious workflow of homework. The students enter their answers online, and the receive instant feedback on their work. I also receive instant feedback on completion and accuracy, which allows me to save time in grading and also see how my students are learning at all time. The homework rate in my classes went way up after using ASSISTments.

Data becomes addicting

This program has fundamentally changed the way I teach math. The struggle I have is when students have no internet access. I make print out copies of the assignment which they can then enter the following morning in school, but it is not ideal. I don't have a better way around that. My kids don't like the extra work it takes to write it out and then enter, but they do like to see whether they get it or not and they appreciate not having to spend the first 10 or so minutes everyday reviewing the homework as I can target the points that they struggled with before they walk through the front door.

Know how well students did on their homework before they walk into the classroom.

I don't think I could teach without this tool in my classroom! The information I have before each class is invaluable. I can better reach my students when I know where their stumbling blocks are, even when they are too shy to tell me themselves.

Know who in your classroom understands.

I use it for my homework assignments. It is easy to write in my problems and once done, can be reused yearly. This is my third year using Assistments and I love it. I also assign "Skills" to my students for the extra practice that is so important. It is easy to personalize for various students and the reports make it easy to see how and what they are doing. I HIGHLY recommend this to teacher to both help their students and make their lives easer as well.
