How can my students restart an assignment?

The following information outlines how your students can restart an assignment. The first question is which assignment type is it?

Adaptive Learning

For Adaptive Learning assignments, the most common recommendation is that students replay the level. The level is designed such that they can be replayed, with different content and difficulty. While the implementation strategy varies by classrooms, many teachers recommend that students strive for 2 stars on every level, for example. To replay a level, the students simply go to the dashboard, click the Adaptive Learning assignment, and then redo the level (or levels) that you want them to redo.

If you want students to start completely over, the only way to do this is to create a new account for the student. Note that any past progress or work will not be associated with this new account. Also, you will need to re-assign any assignments that you want your students to work on.

Formative Assessments

Formative assessment assignments can just be re-assigned to a student. This will create a new assignment for them on their dashboard (read how to assign by student if you are unsure how to do this, so the entire class doesn’t get the duplicate assignment).

Student Access Troubleshooting Guide

Occasionally students have issues accessing their Woot Math account or assignments you have assigned them. This guide is provided to walk you through how to help them troubleshooting this problem when it occurs.

My student does not see the assignments

If assignments you have provided to your student are not showing up on the student dashboard, please review the Assignments guide. If this does not help to resolve it, then please also review the roster guidelines, especially if you have connected Google Classroom and/or Clever in addition to Woot Math.

Student log in issues

There are a variety of ways that a student can log into Woot Math. All of them will allow them to access their assignments, and all of the data is always captured for your review.

The typical way a student can log into their dashboard is through Woot Math. They should go here:

https://www.wootmath.com/student/login

Then either enter their teacher code (don’t know your teacher code, click here). If you are using Google Classroom or Clever, they can also select one of those log in options.

If you are using Google Classroom, your students can access Woot Math directly through Google Classroom. In this case, when they are logged into Google Classroom, the assignments you made in Woot Math will show up for them. They can then click on them, and it will automatically log them into Woot Math.

If you are using Clever, students can log in to Woot Math either from their Clever dashboard, or by selecting “Log in with Clever” shown above. In either case, they will see their student dashboard with their assignments.

If you are running a formative assessment (quiz, exit ticket, homework, etc), then you also get a poll code when you launch the poll. While it is more common for students to log in using one of the above options, if you are not using a student roster, or if you prefer to have students not log into their Woot Math dashboard, then this is another option.

In this case, the students will want to go to wmpoll.com and enter their poll code. Your teacher screen looks something like this.

And when the student types in wmpoll.com, they will see this:

They can then enter their poll code, log in based on how your classroom is setup, and work through their assignment.

Answer key for the formative assessment questions?

I would like to run one of the formative assessments (quiz, exit ticket, warm up, etc) for my classroom. Is there an answer key somewhere? Can I change the answers?

There are a number of ways to explore a problem set before assigning it to your students. This FAQ will address some of the more common ways that teachers explore the existing content from the problem bank.

Preview

An easy way to run a formative assessment is to preview it. To preview questions, hover over the tile in the content and press preview. Then you can play through it.

When you preview it, then you will see what the student will see. You can also answer the questions to ensure that you are happy with the set responses.

Modify an Answer

If you would like to modify an answer, remove or add additional problems, or make any other changes, you can also do that. First hover over the tile in the content and press Copy.

This will make a copy and place it in My Content. Then you can edit it to review the answers, change the questions, etc.

From the edit page, you can see all of the questions, add/remove items, etc.

To edit a particular question, press the pencil icon. This will take you to the creation interface, where you can change answers, how the question is written, etc. You can use the Next Task / Preview Task to quickly navigate through the questions.

One common question teachers have are units – what units are expected. Since many of these formative assessments are created by teachers, and the expectations vary based on district, school, teacher, and grade, it is always advisable to play through it prior to providing it to your students. And if necessary, you can make changes to the problem so that your students will not be confused.

Is Adobe Flash Player Required for Woot Math?

Most of the Woot Math content is HTML5, and therefore, does not require the Adobe Flash Player. However, Woot Math’s Adaptive Learning activities (the blue tiles) do require Adobe Flash Player to run in a web browser.

Students: For the 20202-2021 school year, the recommended option for students using the Adaptive Learning activities is to install the Woot Math app on iOS for iPad (available in Apple App Store now) or Android for Chromebooks (available soon in the Google Play store). The Adaptive Learning activities that require Flash will also be available on the web until Flash is no longer supported (the end of 2020).

Teachers: The teacher dashboard is HTML5, and thus does not require the use of Flash or an iOS or Android App.

To enable Flash on your students’ computer, have them follow these steps (these steps are for Chrome).

When an activity requires Flash, you will see something like the following.

Click on the lock icon at the top of the URL bar, then click on site settings.

Find the Flash entry, and change from Blocked to Enabled for wootmath.com

Then close that browser tab, and return to Woot Math. You might need to restart the browser, and then the activity will load.

Removing Google Classroom Roster

If you have connected Google Classroom, and then decide to use a different roster system (such as Clever or Woot Math), then disconnecting your Google Classroom roster will remove it from your Woot Math dashboard.

To disconnect Woot Math from your Google Classroom, you will need to remove access from your Google account. You can do that here: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

Click on “Woot Math” and then click REMOVE ACCESS. You may see two tiles, one that indicates “Third-party apps with account access” and one with “Signing in with Google”. You will want to remove both from your account.

Please note that disconnecting your Google Classroom roster will remove your students’ data. It is not currently possible to transfer student data between different roster systems (i.e. between Google Classroom and Woot Math or Clever).
