Every Day Math Account Set Up

Posted by Janice on in Math

edmAdam Dysart gave us these directions to help elementary teachers set up the Every Day Math accounts for their classes.

Follow the simple 12 steps in the attached Word document to set yourself up as a teacher/administrator in everydaymathonline. Once you have established your login, you may set up a class in the system so kids can access the games and interactive reference guides. You can edit or revise your class list and even view students’ performance on the everyday games. Be sure to print student login cards by going to STUDENT PASSWORDS on the main menu page in order to give each student in your class the access he/she needs in or out of school.
