What is IXL Math?

For teachersA powerful, easy-to-use teaching system

State standards reportingIXL provides detailed reports on students’ state testing readiness. Not only will IXL predict student performance on the test, but it will isolate the skills a teacher should assign in order to raise performance.

Comprehensive progress reportsIXL’s easy-to-use reporting suite contains more than 35 real-time reports that can help diagnose trouble spots, assess progress over time, and more. It’s the ultimate tool for helping teachers adapt their lesson plans to �t student needs.

Parent involvement toolsIXL o�ers reports for parents, so that they can view the progress their children have made. It’s a convenient way for teachers to promote the idea that learning is both an in-school and at-home process.

Access to all grade levelsSince most teachers have students of varying skill levels, IXL never restricts the grade levels that teachers and students can access. �ere’s nothing stopping a 3rd grade teacher from assigning 2nd grade skills to students who need a little review. Teachers can even hide the grade level while students practice, in order to foster a more encouraging learning environment.

I'm a middle school math teacher and a huge advocate of IXL. I started using IXL last year in my classes and it has completely changed the way I teach, and the way my students learn math. Students that failed the year before and never did anything were passing and working hard using IXL.

We've only been using IXL for a couple of weeks but already most of my math-phobic students have blossomed. And my better students are thrilled to have more challenging work always available at their �ngertips.

I teach an instructional math class for special education students who are at least two years below grade level. �e ability IXL gives me to track my students' time spent on individual skills is wonderful! When working with students who are functioning at such di�erent levels, I feel like I am able to help them target skills at their own level, which makes di�erentiation easier.

I can tell you my class LOVES this site! Whenever our teacher says ‘Alright everyone! After you’re done, you can go to IXL.com,’ everyone says ‘YES!’ Our teacher says we are starting to get to know the things she has us practice on IXL a lot better! Wow. Your site is awesome and I am glad our teacher told us about it.

My favorite feature of IXL is not a physical feature of the site itself but rather the con�dence it has given my �ve year old in his abilities. Each time he �nishes a task and wins what he calls a ‘mini trophy’, he gets very excited. He has never had a long attention span but in one day of review my child answered over 240 questions. I was amazed. He never sits still, but for this software he did. It was really amazing watching him enjoy math.

I am an 11 year old student in �fth grade and I absolutely love this website. My teacher told us for homework we had to go to www.ixl.com and I was like, great, more ‘boring’ homework, but when I got home and played, I was on this website for about an hour. It is so amazing. I love how you use awards to make the kids want to keep answering questions. After the 2nd quarter I saw my report card and it went from a 90 to a 100 all because of your site.

Unlimited questionsIXL’s math problems are computer generated, so students can practice for hours and never receive the same question twice. In addition, IXL o�ers thousands of dynamic problem types—from word problems to interactive graphing questions—to ensure genuine student mastery of each topic.

Adaptive learningIXL adapts to match each student’s pace. Students who are doing well on a skill will receive tougher questions to challenge them, while students who are struggling will be given simpler questions until they are ready to move on.

Awards systemIXL rewards learners with virtual ribbons, medals, and other prizes when they meet performance goals. It’s the perfect way to keep students motivated to practice and learn more.
