Once in the digits course, you see a link called "To Do". That is where your child’s assignments will be. He/She has the opportunity to "try again" with any assignment until the due date which is often up until the test.
Homework
The program has tools that help the student solve
the problem. "Help me solve this" button to the side of each
problem. It takes the student through the problem step by step.
There are also counters, number lines, and other helpful graphical representations to work with under the "Tools" button next to each problem. The students also have access to www.mymathuniverse.com which has additional help including videos that explain the topics.
