MathXL
is an online applycation which provides personalized instruction and practice
for math in the middle and high school levels. It works hand in hand with
Pearson math books and allows teachers to create edit and adding homework and
tests.
This is a product that can be hit
or miss in my opinion. I think that it is amazing in that it allows students to
obtain lots of practice as well get feedback right away. The negative side in
my opinion is that it rounds in really erratic ways an students get the
question incorrect for rounding one way in one question and when they round in
the same manner in the next they get it wrong as well. Another downfall is that
this is on the expensive side, I would not make students purchase this unless I
was a hundred percent committed to using it.
Overall I would use this product for homework but not for testing again
because of the problems with rounding. I like this product for practice because
it also gives the students reports on their weakest sections and allows them to
get extra practice. I can also see my self
offering this as an extra credit opportunity .
I completely agree with you! I had many not so great experiences with the inconsistency of grading and the system would constantly kick me out.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about getting randomly kicked out. I still think that even with all the problems it would be great for practice
ReplyDeleteI use this for math and I like how it will help you out step by step with problems but I do not like how its electronic grading so there are no partial points for work and I also do not like the rounding. I do like how much practice I have access too.
