Thank you!]]> 2018-12-06 17:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/311932829 Hints should be more direct and not make things more confusing for the students. https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312246469 2018-12-07 14:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312246469 Yellow checkmarks can be a nuisance... sometimes it's difficult to tell what specific answer they are looking for. For example, X + Y = 10 is accepted by Y + X = 10 is not https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312247172 2018-12-07 14:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312247172 https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312247780 You can tell that a student skipped through a problem without opening and checking it. ]]> 2018-12-07 14:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312247780 I need to be able to edit an existing assignment to add users. lebumbaca https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312251324 2018-12-07 14:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312251324 we need to see all the lesson titles on it so that we can assign homework and classwork even test and quizzes https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312251766 2018-12-07 14:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312251766 hand writing recognition so that it saves student work digitally for review https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312252004 2018-12-07 14:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312252004 Mathspace does not have great questions that align with FCPS Unit 4 curriculum mjmazzarella https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312422677 Same with Unit 5]]> 2018-12-07 21:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312422677 If a student scores in the red (in some cases 0%) how do I reassign the assignment (need to have student do it again). https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312836839 2018-12-10 10:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/312836839 It is IMPOSSIBLE to graph certain functions (trig) with only 2 points to work with mjmazzarella https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313856492 2018-12-12 14:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313856492 Similar to another response, certain formats should be accepted, even though Mathspace does not. For example, they would not accept "0.1x" but they wanted "(1/10)x" mjmazzarella https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313857476 2018-12-12 14:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313857476 My students despise Mathspace. mjmazzarella https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313865652 I feel that many times, my students (who are IB students and very smart and can usually figure out things quickly) input correct answers, but they are marked incorrect or with a yellow check. This makes them extremely frustrated, because often times Mathspace does not clarify about what they want. As a result, it somewhat hurts their confidence in their math abilities, which I am obviously trying to avoid. All of this makes me hesitant to assign Mathspace problems to my students.]]> 2018-12-12 15:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313865652 Be more lenient about accepting different forms of an answer. Also sometimes questions are too wordy or confusing, or don't match the words in the Fcps curriculum mjmazzarella https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313868106 2018-12-12 15:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/313868106 I wish you could tell when a custom task is submitted late without having to check and recheck. klolarinde https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315548937 2018-12-18 15:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315548937 Mathspace App https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315632832 I've heard from some students who try to use the app (so they can write their responses with their fingers instead of typing things in) that it is very glitch-y.  They will try to press "submit" and it will just keep "writing" periods.]]> 2018-12-18 18:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315632832 I agree that that some questions are too wordy, and difficult to understand, especially for level 1 English Learners. https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315638416 2018-12-18 18:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmazzarella/e173u1xaubk2/wish/315638416
