What is Khan Academy?
Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.
Great, How Do I use It?
- Go to http://www.khanacademy.org/join
- Enter the Class Code provided by me and click "Add".
- Press "Login to your Existing Account."
- Press login in the top right corner and Continue with Google. It is very important you use your school assigned google account.
Please let me know once you've added the class so that I can assign you your first assignment.
- New assignments should appear on your dashboard along with their due date:
- Press "Start" to begin your assignment.
- When the assignment opens, you will see a question. To answer the question, type your answer into the input box and press "Check:"
=>
- If your answer is incorrect, you will see the following pop-up
- Pressing "Get help" will open up hints and videos to help you solve the problem
- In order to move on, type in the correct answer and press "Check again."
- The correct answer will display the following message:
- Click "Next Question" to move on. You must get 5-7 questions correct in a row to complete most activities.
- Get help on a Question by pressing "Stuck? Watch a video or use a hint."
- Keep in mind that if you use a hint, the question will not count towards your progress.
- If you only watch a video, the question does count towards your progress.
Things to Keep In Mind
- If you don't know how to solve a problem, don't be reluctant to use the hints. They will help you learn how to do it so that you can get the rest of the answers correct without hints.
- Additional activities will show up in "My Subjects" underneath your assignment. This is not assigned, however it will help you learn more at your own pace.
- You can search for activities on additional topics outside of Geometry if desired.
- KhanAcademy is a way to learn at your own pace. Feel free to work on additional activities to help you study Geometry and prepare for PSAT or SAT.
- Your scores for PSAT and MAP tests can be loaded into Khan Academy so you know what to study! Ask me for help setting this up.
