Highlights from IXL Live

Did you know?
IXL offers more than 8,000 skills for students to study.
AND
These skills can be assigned to align with Math MAP RIT Scores. ELA coming soon!



What is a SmartScore? The SmartScore is a "predictor of performance". It assists in goal setting for students and real-time measurement of student growth. A Smart Score of 100 indicates Mastery, 90 equals excellence etc. Teachers can help students set SmartScore goals based on progress. The SmartScore adjusts automatically while the student practices, this provides "real time" motivation for reaching their goals. Click here for more information regarding the IXL SmartScore.

Fun Fact: "Most questions on IXL are algorithmically generated, rather than pulled from a small question bank. This means students can practice as much as they want and almost never see the same question twice."



Recommendations & Suggested Skills: Recommend work for students to complete, skills you suggest to students will be delineated with a star. Teachers may also share a skill url with students, try it with Schoology or Seesaw.



Trouble Spots: Assists teachers in pinpointing specific areas where students are having difficulty. Teachers can view trouble spots for each student in the class at one time, or they can gather individual information.



Real time Center: The real time center allows teachers to view student practice in "real time" including their SmartScore, trouble spots, and progress.

IXL is available for grades 1-5 (Math and ELA) and grades 6-8 (Math only), BHS accounts available on a case by case basis.
