My Project
IXL is a learning website on which teachers can assign students math practice questions at their grade level, or if need be, at an easier or more challenging level, according to individual student needs. The site is set up to reteach a skill when a student answers incorrectly, so that students can see a breakdown of what went wrong during their problem solving. This allows students more independence in their learning, rather than having to call the teacher over to help them every time they get confused or make a mistake.
IXL is so versatile, meeting many needs in the classroom and encouraging an excitement surrounding mathematics.
In previous years, I have used the site to assign morning work and online homework, administer assessments, and create competitions. I also use it as a station during reader's workshop rotations. Students always beg to go on IXL during their free time, when other work is finished. I believe they love it because it records their progress and celebrates their wins, awarding digital certificates for skills mastered. Last year, almost every student in my class met their goals on their standardized state math tests, and I attribute a great amount of that success to the use of IXL in my classroom. Unfortunately, it is just not in the budget for my school this year, so I am hoping to raise funds to cover the cost for a continued membership.
