Interactive and Engaging Homework

Online math homework or practice tasks that are created, managed, and deployed through an LMS like Canvas, Schoology, or Google Classroom have the ability to offer a world of interactive features built to captivate young minds. From varied question types to supplemental videos and game-like tasks, these interactive elements transform essential mathematical concepts into an immersive and enjoyable experience. These features stimulate a young student’s curiosity and encourage them to explore math concepts in a more dynamic and exciting way.

Tailored Learning Experience

Math can be a scary subject for students and parents alike, especially when it comes to math homework that doesn’t have the accompanying guidance of the teacher. Digital math homework platforms can be tailored with specific tasks and variables to match where the student is right in that moment. Pencil and paper homework assignments or assigning a set of problems in a workbook or textbook forces the entire class to work through the same problems, no matter where the student is at in their learning journey. But online platforms have the ability to identify areas where a child might be struggling and offer targeted practice to reinforce the skills they need to progress through the curriculum. More advanced learners can also access more challenging content curated with our extensive Math Item Bank or created with our unique Authoring Features. These features ensure our students stay motivated and engaged.

Immediate Feedback

One of the most significant advantages of a digital math homework platform is the instant feedback it provides. Instead of waiting for the teacher to grade and return assignments, students receive immediate feedback on their submissions. This prompt response helps the student identify, for themselves, their own mistakes and understand different ways of approaching a problem. It strengthens the students' problem-solving skills by creating an independent learning experience where the students can correct themselves without additional teacher aid. This in turn can strengthen their understanding and memory of the mathematical concepts. 

Environment Flexibility

By offering homework assignments digitally, teachers can eliminate the hassle of misplaced assignments, missed assignments due to absence, or carrying heavy workbooks for their students. Online platforms, like Derivita, can be accessed from any device and from any location, offering our littles and their families unparalleled convenience and flexibility. Whether at home, on the road, during family vacations, or in a doctor’s office students can easily continue to progress in their math classes by simply connecting to the WiFi.

Integrating digital math homework into an elementary or secondary student’s in-person math classroom, can open up a world of engaging and interactive opportunities. The personalized experience, instant feedback, and convenience offered by digital math platforms enhance your child's math proficiency and problem-solving skills. We live in a digital world with an increasingly digital future, to prepare our students and ensure their success it only makes sense that we add technologies into their every day learning experience. 

And as a friendly reminder, embracing technology in education doesn't mean that the traditional methods are out the window. Instead we can use the technologies at our disposal to complement traditional and effective teaching practices, making the learning process for our kids more impactful and enjoyable.

Happy math learning!
