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.

Log In through Woot Math Website

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.

Log In through Google Classroom

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.

Log In through Clever

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.

Log in to wmpoll.com

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.

Still need help?

If your students are still not able to log in, or access their assignments, then please feel free to contact us. We will need the following information to assist you further.

  • Screenshot of error or problem

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.

My assignments are not showing up for my students

My assignments are not showing up for my students

If your classroom assignments do not show up for your students, you can use these steps to resolve the issue:

Step 1

Make sure your students are logging into Woot Math via the student dashboard.  https://www.wootmath.com/student/login

Step 2

Your students should see all of their assignments after they login. Their dashboard should look something like this:

Sample Student Dashboard with Assignments

Step 3

If your student dashboard looks like the above image, but the new assignment isn’t appearing, check the Assignments tab on your teacher dashboard. The assignments tab will show all of your active assignments (you can also view ended assignments, archived assignments, manage your assignments, and more). It should look something like this:
Sample Teacher Assignment Dashboard

Step 4

If your new assignment is listed on this page, next make sure that the student(s) in question have been assignment the new assignment. Since it is possible to make an assignment only to individual students, sometimes not all students will have the same assignments. To check this, click on the down arrow next to the assignment name:

Sample Assignment Details

In this case, we see that 8 students have not been given that assignment yet.

Step 5

If you want to add those additional students, simply press the “Add Students” button and select the additional students that you want to send the assignment to:
Add additional students to a running assignment

Step 6

Now the next time that student logs into Woot Math, they should see the new assignment!

How do I print login cards for my students?

To print login cards from your students, first login to your teacher dashboard here. Then, click on the More drop-down, and select Manage Classes and Roster.

From the Setup your Classes page, you can select Print Login Cards.

The print login cards will provide the teacher code, username, and password for your students so they can access Woot Math from your classroom or at home.

Note that the Print Login Cards is only available when you or your administrator has setup your class rosters from Woot Math (indicated with the Woot Math image next to the class name).

If you are using Google Classroom or Clever, then your students will login with their same login information as setup in that platform. In this case, simply provide your teacher code so they can login. If you do not know your teacher code, you can learn more about that here.

How to play an assignment as a teacher?

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.

Where should my students start with Woot Math Adaptive Learning?

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.
