I Know It Math

Overview

I Know It is an engaging, interactive math website for elementary students. Teachers create their own classroom and assign questions to either individual students or the whole class. Teachers can also provide hints to the questions if they want. The student is also provided with feedback if they get a question incorrect.

There is a free 60-day trial and after that, you must subscribe. 

Note: This can be used for grades Kindergarten-5th grade.

Students will:

  • Be able to solve specific math questions assigned by the teacher, that they need extra practice on.

Vocabulary Words:

The vocabulary you introduce to the students will be based on what math concept you are having them practice.

To prepare for this lesson:

  • Watch an overview video tutorial of I Know It on their website - https://www.iknowit.com/.

  • Sign up for their FREE 60 day trial. Free sign up is at the bottom of the page.

  • Once you filled out the information, click on set up/create class. You will need to choose a class code. Students will need to type in their class code, username, and password in order to log in.

  • You will then click on create class and follow the directions.

  • Once you have your class roster created, you can begin assigning work. You can either assign by selecting grade level and check mark the lessons you want the students to do or you can click the assign button on the lesson screen to get started.

  • There are over 500 lessons for you to choose from. When students get the correct answer, an animated character dances, sings, and praises their work.

See the Accommodations Page and Charts on the 21things4students website in the Teacher Resources.
