Overview Settings
When creating a DeltaMath assignment, several options are available. Below is an in-depth description of the settings that teachers can customize.
Select Classes
You can create an assignment for the entire class or for individuals and groups.
Note: You can change “Classes” to “Period” or “Section” by navigating to Tools → Login/School Information and clicking the “edit” button next to school information. |
Select an Entire Class
Select the class or classes to which you want to assign this assignment. Multiple classes can be selected.
Assign to Individuals or GroupsPLUS | INTEGRAL
Select "Individuals or Groups" from the class list drop-down menu. | |
Below the drop-down menu, click the link to "choose students." | |
You can select individual students or create groups. To create a group, click “New Group,” enter a name for the group, and select the students to include. | |
Click “Back to Assignment and Save Changes” when finished. |
Note: An assignment can be assigned either to 1) individual and groups or 2) classes, but not both at the same time. |
Post Assignment
There are four options for posting an assignment:
Immediately - Posts the assignment to your selected classes or individuals/groups upon creation.
Not Right Now - Saves the assignment as a draft (i.e., it will not be posted to students).
Specific Time - Allows you to choose a specific date and time for posting the assignment.
Staggered by Class PLUS | INTEGRAL - Lets you select different posting dates and times for each class.
Google Classroom Settings PLUS|INTEGRAL
When an assignment is created for a Google Classroom class, a green box with additional options will appear.
|
|
You have the option to write an assignment description, which will display for your students within Google Classroom. | |
Enter a value for the number of points you want your assignment to be worth in the Google Classroom gradebook.
Note: If you do not want the assignment to post to Google Classroom, set the points to -1. |
|
You can also select a topic within your Google Classroom class for the assignment. |
Grade Passback Time PLUS|INTEGRAL
There are three different options for how you would like your grades to be passed back to your Google Classroom gradebook. | |
At Due Date - Grades will be sent to your Google Classroom gradebook when the assignment is due and will continuously auto-update moving forward.
|
|
After 15 Minutes - Grades will be passed back to your Google Classroom gradebook after 15 minutes of inactivity from the student. Grades will auto-update in your gradebook as students continue to work, even after the due date. | |
Manual Passback - Grades will not automatically pass back to your Google Classroom gradebook. They will only update when you use the icon on the assignment data view. |
Note: If the student never opens the assignment, their grade will be blank in your Google Classroom gradebook. They must open the assignment at least once for a grade to pass back. |
Folder PLUS | INTEGRAL
When creating an assignment, you can choose a folder to store it in. You also have the option to create a new folder by selecting "New Folder" and entering a name. This helps organize your assignments, making them easier to find.
Time Limit PLUS | INTEGRAL
Basic Time Limit Settings
If you select "No Limit," the assignment will remain untimed, and students can access the assignment until it is hidden. | |
If you select “Limited,” additional options will appear. You can set the timer (in hours and minutes) for the amount of time students have once they open the assignment. The timer will continue running regardless of whether students log out or become inactive. For example, if a student opens a timed assignment and then either logs out or closes their computer, the timer will keep running in the background until time is up. |
|
In the student view, students will see a icon for any timed assignments, as well as the amount of time given for the assignment. | |
After a student clicks “Open Assignment,” they will see the assignment details and have the option to “Start Assignment Now." Once they start the assignment, they cannot pause the timer. | |
While working on their timed assignment, students will receive updated timing notifications. | |
Once time has run out, a student can no longer access the assignment unless the teacher gives them additional time. |
Manage Extra Time
You can allocate additional time per student to meet individual accommodations or needs. To customize how much time a student initially has to complete an assignment, click “Manage extra time." | |
Next, select the drop-down menu next to the student's name. DeltaMath will remember your preferences for this assignment and all future timed assignments (until you change the setting).
Example: In the example in this screenshot, the original assignment has a time limit of 1 hour. |
|
Chris was given an extra time factor of “Times 1.5.” When Chris opens his assignment, he will see that he has 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the assignment. | |
Edgar was given an extra time factor of “Times 2.” When Edgar opens his assignment, he will see that he has 2 hours to complete the assignment. |
Note: Changing the “manage extra time” setting will customize how much time a student is initially given to complete an assignment or test. If you need to give additional time after the student starts the assignment or test, you can give them additional time. |
Restrict Other Assignments
When setting a time limit, the option to "Restrict Other Assignments" will appear. | |
If you select “Yes” for “Restrict Other Assignments," students will not be able to access any other DeltaMath assignments until they have finished the timed assignment. If they attempt to navigate to their homepage, they will receive a notice that they are restricted. | |
If the student finishes early (and the settings are configured to restrict other assignment), they will have the option to click “End Assignment Early." |
Note: The restrict other assignments feature is not a lockdown browser, but it will prevent students from going to other DeltaMath assignments where they may have access to examples or videos. |
Solutions Shown PLUS | INTEGRAL
Changing the “Solutions Shown” settings will determine whether and when students are shown a step-by-step solution. There are four options for solutions:
- Yes - Students will see a set-by-step solution after submitting an answer to each question.
- On incorrect only - Students will see a step-by-step solution only when they answer a question incorrectly.
- On correct only - Students will see a step-by-step solution only when they answer a question correctly.
- No - Students will not see a step-by-step solution after submitting their answer.
Student Work Upload INTEGRAL
You can enable your students to upload images or PDFs to their assignments.
Select “On” from the Student Work Upload drop-down menu.
|
|
Students will see the option to click to upload work for their assignment. | |
Students have the option to scan a QR code to upload images from their phone or to upload directly from their device. | |
After uploading their work, students can review it and choose to “Upload More Work” if necessary. |
Note: You can view uploaded student work when viewing Assignment Data. Refer to this article for more information. |
DeltaMath Videos PLUS | INTEGRAL
You can choose whether students can view the video while working on their assignment.
Each skill in DeltaMath has an embedded instructional video.
|
|
You can set whether students can view the video while working on their assignment by selecting “Visible” or “Hidden.” |
Hide Assignment After Due PLUS | INTEGRAL
“Hide Assignment After Due” allows you to determine whether the assignment remains visible to students after the due date.
- Yes - The assignment will be removed from student accounts after the due date. Students will not be able to view or access the assignment.
-
No - The assignment will still appear in student accounts after the due date.
- If a student completed the assignment, it will move to the “Completed” tab, where they can access it for more practice, depending on assignment settings.
