You have until April 24 to practice, so everyone still has a chance to claim one of the top three spots in each category!
If you haven’t already, register your classroom here by April 22, and read the full contest rules in our original post. Have questions? Check out the FAQ below or leave a comment!
FAQ’s:
How do I know if I’m registered?
As long as you have submitted your IXL username accurately, you are registered, so please enter it carefully!
How do I check the number of questions my class has attempted?
Sign in to your IXL teacher account and visit the “Class Usage Log” report, which can be found by clicking on the “Reports” tab, and then under “Usage.” You can also find it by visiting www.ixl.com/reports/usage/class.
Once you reach this report, set the time range to between March 23 and present, and select the specific class you want to check. Select “Problems attempted” and click “Update report.” You will see the total number of problems this class has attempted at the bottom of the report. Then, divide this number by the number of students in your class.
Will you be posting the rankings of classes so we can see where we stand in the competition?
Yes, we will be posting the top 10 classrooms on April 1 and April 15. Winners will be announced April 24.
I have more than one class. Is each class calculated separately?
Each class is calculated separately. As long as your students are divided into classes on your “Roster” page, every class on your roster will be entered.
Will IXL count questions for previously mastered skills?
If the skills were mastered prior to the start of the contest, students can go back and practice them again, and those questions will count toward this contest. However, after they master the skill during the contest period, any further practice won’t count.
Will IXL count incorrectly answered questions, or questions practiced outside of the students’ grade level?
Yes and yes! We encourage students to practice above or below grade level, and we want them to know it’s okay to make mistakes and then learn from them. However, practice that is not consistent with the spirit of the contest – such as deliberately answering questions incorrectly – is not permitted.
Can homeschoolers participate?
This particular contest is just for school licenses. We will be having more contests in the future that will be open to other kinds of subscriptions, so keep an eye out!
