Woot Math supports setting up your classes and student rosters in one of three ways:

1. Woot Math rosters
2. Google Classroom rosters
3. Clever rosters

Which roster system should I use?

The choice of which rostering system to use is up to your district, your school, or you, depending on your situation. Woot Math can support all three (even at the same time, although see below for concerns around that). If you are unsure which to use, please check with your tech coordinator in your building.

How do I know which rostering system(s) I’m using?

From the teacher dashboard, click on the More drop-down menu, and then select Manage Classes and Rosters. The names and which rostering system you are using is displayed for each class. You can also go to the assignments page, where all of your classes are listed. You can click each class name to see which assignments you have assigned to which class.

Why aren’t my student assignments showing up?

When teachers or students have issues with assignments not showing up, and they are using more than one rostering system, it often causes confusion, since it is easy to use the wrong one (either for teachers or students).

If you have connected more than one rostering system, and your student assignments are not showing up, this is because either your students are logging into Woot Math with the wrong student account, or you have assigned your students’ work to the wrong account. In either case, you should choose a roster system, and always use that one. You should also make sure your students know to use the same rostering system.

Are student accounts different for each rostering system?

Yes! This is the cause of the problem. If a Woot Math roster is used, then Woot Math is the owner of the student account, and all associated data (login information, student work, etc). If a Google Classroom roster is used, then Google Classroom is the owner of the student account, and all associated data. If Clever is used, then Clever is the owner of the student account, and all associated data.

Can I transfer student data from one rostering system to another?

Unfortunately, Woot Math does not support transferring student data from one rostering system to another.

What should I do if I have student data in one rostering system, but want to change to another one?

You have two choices in this case.

1. You can switch to a new rostering system, but unfortunately all of your student data will be lost, since we cannot transfer it to the new rostering system. Any work students have completed will remain in the old rostering system (so you always have access to the data), but the new rostering system doesn’t know about the previous work.
2. You can remain in the old rostering system for this school year, and switch to the new rostering system during the next school year.

Need more information?

Here is additional information about Google Classroom and Clever. You can learn more about missing assignments here.

It is sometimes necessary to stop an assignment mid-stream and assign it later in the school year. In this case, what happens to the student data?

The answer is, it depends.

Adaptive Learning

For Adaptive Learning assignments, you can start and re-start assignments as much as you want, and students can pickup from where they left off. No problem!

Because Adaptive Learning units are a progression of content that is driven by our proprietary adaptive engine, Woot Math knows where the students are at any given time, and it will automatically allow them to resume when you re-assign an Adaptive Learning unit.

Imagine your students have started working on an assignment you gave to them (Ordering & Absolute Value, for example). Then, you decide you want to move on to a new topic, and end that assignment. Once you end it, it will be removed from their active assignments (any open assignments you’ve sent them will still be on their dashboard). Later in the year, when you want to circle back to Ordering & Absolute Value, just make the assignment again. Your students will then see it as an active assignment, and when they click into it, they’ll pick up exactly where they left off!

Formative Assessments (Quizzes, Homework/Classwork, Exit Tickets, etc)

The formative assessments that you assign your students are only active as long as the assignment is active, because these formative assessments are generally short-lived assignments that students do in-class. Once you end an assignment, the report is available and you can view the results. However, it isn’t possible to resume a formative assessment assignment. Note that you can always re-assign it. In that case, the students will start at the beginning again.

If you have any questions, please let us know, we are always happy to help!

Woot Math provides free interactive PD, which will walk you through a number of steps as you get started using Woot Math in your classroom. The interactive design lets you choose those areas you want to learn more about, and skip those that you are already comfortable with. Topics include:

• Setup your class(es)
• Introduction to Woot Math (Part #1)
• Woot Math Demo (both teacher and student experience)
• Adaptive Learning deep-dive for your classroom
• Best practices for high-quality implementation
• How to make assignments
• How to run a teacher-led formative assessment
• How to leverage grouping in your classroom
• Learn about the digital scratchpad

To get started, click here.

There are a variety of ways to play as a student.

Formative Assessments

To run a quiz, exit ticket, warm up, or formative assessment as a student, you can:

• Preview an assignment using the Preview button
• Run the assignment in either self-paced or teacher-led mode. In either case, you can run the assignment with either a class roster or by typing your name when you join

Adaptive Learning

To run an Adaptive Learning as a student, you can:

• Preview an assignment using the Preview button
• Run the assignment as a student.

To run an assignment as a student, you will first need to create a sample student account. To do this, create a new student called Teacher from the Manage Roster tab on the teacher dashboard. You can either add the new student account to an existing class, or you can create a new class and then add a new student to the new class.

Woot Math’s Adaptive Learning delivers a personalized progression of lessons for your students. It can be used to supplement your core curriculum, or for intervention and remediation to help students catch up. Our recommendation is for students to use Woot Math’s Adaptive Learning 2-5 times per week, with at least 20-40 minutes of use per session. For more specific recommendations, please see the implementation guidelines for grades 3-5, or grades 6+.

There are many options for integrating Woot Math into your classroom. Some teachers use Woot Math with the entire classroom at once, others rotate students through it at a center. Others have students complete levels outside the class (at study hall or as homework).

To get started using the Adaptive Learning content in your classroom, create your first assignment and get going! Not sure how to start? Learn more here.

Note: As of January 2021, Adaptive Learning modules can only be run in an app, no longer a web browser.  Learn more here.

Woot Math’s Adaptive Learning provides students in grades 3-8+ with the foundational materials that they need to be successful with mathematics. There are generally two ways in which teachers implement Woot Math in their classroom, either as a supplement to the core curriculum, or as an intervention or remediation for students that need a little extra assistance on these challenging topics.

Woot Math was designed to support both scenarios. More details about each are below. If you have questions on the best implementation for your students, please review our case studies to see how other teachers are implementing Woot Math. And always feel free to contact us if you have specific questions.

Grade Level Supplement (Grades 3-7)

Woot Math is a grade level supplement for foundational material (fractions, decimal, ratios, negative numbers, and more). Woot Math enables students to succeed by helping them build conceptual understanding of the most challenging concepts in rational numbers. Woot Math uses multiple representations and leverages interactive models to help shore up these critical areas, so they become ready for Algebra and beyond. Implementation guidelines are available for grades 3-5 and grades 6-7.

Intervention and Remediation (Grades 6-8+)

For students in grades 6+, Woot Math is used for intervention and remediation to ensure your students develop a strong foundation of rational numbers (fractions, decimals, ratios, rates and proportions, negative numbers, etc) so they can be successful in all types of mathematics. Woot Math enables students to succeed by building conceptual understanding of key rational number topics. View the implementation guidelines for grades 6-8.
