How to Use DynaMath With Google Classroom

We know your school days are busy and you time is limited. Which is why are happy to let you know how easy it is to share DynaMath issues and articles with your students using Google Classroom. You can do it in 3 easy steps.

If you’re not already logged into Google Classroom, you’ll be prompted to sign in or make an account.

Once that’s done, you can create an assignment, ask a question, or make an announcement. These assignments, questions, and posts will appear on your stream, with a record of student engagement.

In Google Classroom, you can share DynaMath content with your students in three ways: by creating an assignment, asking a question, or making an announcement. Here’s what you need to know.

When you create an assignment, you’ll see a screen that looks like the image above. You can customize your assignment in the following ways:

• Students: Use the dropdown menu to manually select which students receive the assignment. (All students in your Google Classroom are selected by default.) This is a fantastic tool for leveling!
• Title and instructions: Name your assignment and add any extra directions for your students.
• Due date: Pick a due date for timed assignments or leave the default “no due date” for open-ended projects.
• Topic: Tag assignments by topic to keep track of how they fit in to your curriculum. You can pick a tag you’ve used before from the dropdown menu or create a new one.

Once you’re finished on this screen, click "assign" and you’re ready to go!

Asking a question is very similar to creating an assignment, as you can see in the image above. What’s different is that you can ask two different types of questions:

• Short answer response: In this option, you can decide if you want to allow students edit their answer, and whether to let students reply to each other.
• Multiple-choice question: In this option, you can enter as many answer choices as you like, and decide if you want to to let students see responses from others in their class.

When you’re finished on this screen, click ask. The question will appear on your classroom’s stream.

Making an announcement is super simple—it’s just like sharing a post on Facebook or Twitter. You just need to pick the students and topic, and then you’re all set to post.

This is a great way to let students know when a new DynaMath issue or article is available.
