IXL is a great app/website for students to practice math skills.

This is awful. If you miss one question it drops you ten points, but if you get one right you only get one point. That doesn't make sense. A kid that's frustrated already and doesn't understand isn't going to keep after it and actually learn something. 120 questions for an 8th grader is a bit ridiculous, especially when the set percentage is 90% and the teacher isn't actually teaching anything.

Overall, I liked using IXL as extra practice in the classroom and at home. The website is visually appealing and simple to use. It provides additional resources to keep track of student progress and information for parents. I liked that I can see which questions my students missed as well as how long it took them to complete or master the skill. I also like that IXL provides students with the correct answer, an explanation when they miss a question, and examples that show how to solve the problem. I would like to see a "kid-friendly" version of IXL for lower grades and a larger font size.

I love this product! This is a product where the students can not only use in the classroom but they can use it at home, either on their computer, their phone or any other electronic device that can download the app. I enjoy it because it is a quick way for students to practice and help prepare themselves for tests, quizzes or projects. Students receive instant feedback if they got the question correct or not. If they did not get the question correct, IXL provides the solution and explains the problem. IXL has the areas of Pre-K- 12th grade with the topics of math, language arts, social studies, and science. In each area, IXL breaks down all the units with sub topics that align with common core. For example, if I am teaching a lesson on Exponents, I can have the students select F.11 that focuses on the product rule where they can practice problems only using that rule. The only catch would be you have to pay to become a member, but I believe this product is worth the money.
