ABOUT PRO HOMEWORK
Since 2013, Hoffkids Pro Homework has been a unique and highly effective way that my students do their math homework sometimes online. Before I see the students again the next day in class, I already know:
Who completed
Which students completed their homework
When they did it
What time they did their homework
Time spent
How long they spent on their assignment and each question
How the class did
What math concepts were most missed from the class to be addressed the next day
How accurate
Which questions they got wrong, the answers they put, and their overall % score (scores never count toward their quarter math grade)
Who to remind
Which students and parents need an email reminder if the assignment is not completed at night
Feedback
Immediate feedback is one of the most effective ways to increase math learning. When students can see exactly where they made a mistake immediately after answering a problem, it gives them the ability to learn from and correct the error moving forward. No other homework offers this. Every single problem in with Hoffkids Pro Homework has a short video screencast I have made explaining the answer for my students to learn from. Students are not expected to watch them if they got the question correct (but many still do), but are expected if they get it wrong. Not going over math homework the next day in class means more valuable teaching and learning time inside the classroom!
Goals
High expectations lead to high achievement. Hoffkids Pro Homework is designed where I set a special target % for each assignment so that the students know what is expected of them and are encouraged to work hard to achieve success. They are also encouraged to redo the assignment to meet this goal should they fall short of this %. Sometimes math homework assignments have been done nearly 200 times optionally inn one night from under 100 students!
Interactive
Students are engaged in their math homework in a way they never have been. The questions (and answers) can have video, audio, graphics, text, and surprises. The program works on all devices and operating systems. The homeworks allow for the students to respond back to open ended questions, give opinions, and provide feedback to make it better even throughout the night! Students are required to use a “Hoffkids Pro Homework Work Form” to show their work which is collected and scored based on effort. This prevents just clicking and typing anything at random.
