As a nonprofit committed to equitable access to high-quality math learning, we want to be helpful in the event that COVID-19 disrupts the normal and vital course of learning and teaching. Zearn Math can be a distance learning resource to help students continue their math learning. Below are four steps to take if you plan to include Zearn Math in your distance learning plan:
STEP 1: SET STUDENT ASSIGNMENTS. We offer revised scope and sequences for each grade that integrates critical missed learning from the prior grade, includes an upfront diagnostic assessment mission. Access learning recovery sequences from your Zearn account. You can find step-by-step instructions on setting student assignments here.
STEP 2: SHARE LOGIN INFORMATION
To access assignments outside of school, send students home with username and password information. Teachers will also need their login information to monitor and support student progress. Teachers, coaches, and school and district administrators can access this roster information in their Zearn Math account. Instructions for accessing roster information can be found here.
STEP 3: SEND HOME PAPER -BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS.
These include student notes that accompany independent digital learning, which support knowledge transfer and strengthen understanding. Paper problem sets can be used for students without access to devices or the internet. Information about accessing and printing paper materials can be found here.
STEP 4: SHARE PLANS WITH ADULTS SUPPORTING REMOTE ZEARNING
We offer Parent Letters in multiple languages that can be used to provide families with all the information they need about using Zearn Math outside of school. We also have information on the range of compatible devices students can use to access digital lessons outside of their school device.
