The Digi consists of five components:
Quick Quizzes are formative practice for students that can be taken multiple times for mastery. The link takes the student to a Canvas quiz with questions that connect to the target. These quizzes provide opportunity for immediate feedback. Students will know at the end of the quiz which problems they have mastered and which problems they have not.

Ways to Help Your Student
Back to Home Page
- Encourage dialogue about the Investigation that they are trying
- Encourage reading the Guided Learning and writing down key concepts or questions in a notebook
- Watch videos in the Guided Learning section to see and hear a problem being worked out
- Try the Quick Check problems to check for understanding
- Use the Quick Quizzes as formative checkpoints of the math concepts. The Quick Quizzes can be taken multiple times and give students immediate feedback on whether they got questions right or wrong
- Try the assigned Practice Problems and use the Answer Bank to check for solutions
- Look back at the Guided Learning if you have questions about the Practice Problems
- Ask questions such as, “What do you notice?” “Does this remind you of anything else you’ve done?” “What are all of the things you know are true about the problem.”
- Encourage talking through problems out loud that he or she may be stuck on
- Encourage beginning a problem, even if unsure of how to complete the whole problem. By taking small steps forward, your student might be able to work through a problem that originally was intimidating
