Choose a different class from the menu at the top of the page. The Assignment page is responsive to the class and will update when a new book is selected.

How does the Progression Benchmark work?

There are five Progression Benchmark Tests, one per domain. Each test has an entry point based on the student’s course (or other teacher-specified entry point) and adapts based on student responses to the questions to assess student understanding of the objectives within that domain across varying grade levels.

How many domains do you recommend students take at one time for the Progression Benchmark?

We recommend only assigning one or two domains at a time. The number of questions students receive is based on the entry point and on student responses. If students answer correctly, they move on to the next skill. If students answer incorrectly, they are given a second attempt at a similar problem before receiving the lower grade level question for that skill.

Incorrect Answers on Student Assignments

Why are un-simplified fractions scored as incorrect? Students should follow the methods used in solving the Big Ideas Math Examples . The lesson examples generally do not leave fractions in un-simplified form, so students should follow this pattern and simplify fractions. When an exercise requires a student to enter a variable as part of the solution, why is the scoring case sensitive? Throughout the Dynamic Assessment System , variable entry is case-sensitive. As students progress in...

Information about devices with touch-screen

Multi-touch issues on Chromebooks and Lenovo Yogas can be complex due to the touch interaction pieces and cross-browser compatibility.

Below is a list of known issues with the Big Ideas Math Dynamic Assessment System and these types of...

Is there a limit on the amount of times I can select the check answer button on the homework?

Students may click the Check Answer button as many times as they need to, until they get the question correct. If a teacher would prefer that a student does not use this feature, the teacher may deselect Need Help on the assignment creation screen.

Is there a limit to the number of students per class?

No, there is currently no limit to the number of students per class. Schools do purchase a certain number of student licenses, and although we use soft-licensing, you should stay within the amount of licenses that were purchased.

Learning Path

With Math & YOU, the Learning Path is the table of contents and lesson plan. Use it to browse for Course Resources, Standards-Based Practice, and the sequence of the content provided.

Lesson Plans

Lesson Plans can be found in the online Teacher Course Resources by searching at the Chapter or Section level. Complete, editable Lesson Plans are included for every lesson in the program.

Lesson Tutorial Videos

Two- to three-minute Lesson Tutorial Videos provide video and audio support for every example in the textbooks. These are valuable for students who miss a class, need a second explanation, or need extra assistance with a homework assignment. Parents can also utilize the tutorials to stay connected or to provide additional help at home.

Licensing FAQ

What is soft-licensing? Student licenses may be used for any of the books the district or school purchased licenses for. Big Ideas Learning combines the licenses for an aggregate total instead of limiting them to a particular book. Can a teacher assign multiple books to a student? If a teacher uses 2 books per class, is it using 2 licenses?
