Passwords and Logging In
  • I forgot my password. How do I recover it?

    Student passwords cannot be recovered or reset online. Please ask your teacher for your password.

    Teachers, and Administrators: You can reset your password on our password reset page. You will enter your e-mail, and a password reset link will be sent to you.

    Reset your password
  • I am having trouble with the password reset. Now what?

    If you're having trouble with our password reset feature, please check your spam folder. Sometimes our e-mails are accidentally filed as spam. (Please check the "not spam" button on your email client to whitelist us.)

    If you're still having difficulty, please send us an e-mail and we'll be happy to help.

  • I am a student and I can not log in. I know that my password is correct.

    Students will need to ask their teacher for their username, password, and class code.

    We can not reset student passwords because we do not store student e-mails. Teachers should be able to enter, view, and edit their class' usernames, passwords, and the class code.

  • What is a class code?

    When teachers set up their account, they are required to choose a class code. Your class code can be any unique word consisting of letters and numbers.

    Students will need to enter their username, password, and class code to log in. Be sure you share the class code with your students.

    Tip:
    When you choose your class code, pick something that will be easy for your students to type. Also, do not choose words that you use in your password. (For example, "apple" or "room124" would be great class code choices.)

    We have a class code feature to avoid issues with duplicate student usernames. Without the class code feature, it can be difficult to find 20 or 30 unique usernames. Because of this feature, student usernames that overlap between schools and districts are not a problem.

    Students: Your teacher can look up your username, password, and class code.

  • Can I view student usernames and passwords?

  • What is "Math Ability Level"?

    This is an optional field. If you enter a students' ability level, they may be given the option to view and explore lessons that are at their level.

    For example, if you have a 4th grade student who is learning math at a 2nd grade level, you can choose a Grade 2 ability level. When the student logs in, he will see his assignments from the teacher, followed by 2nd grade topics/lessons to explore.

    Note: When students are logged in, they will not see the grade level displayed as "1st Grade," "2nd Grade," "3rd Grade," etc. They will see "Level A," "Level B," "Level C," etc.

    If you do not choose an ability level, students will see lessons at their regular grade level. For example, a 3rd grader will see 3rd grade (Level C) lessons.

  • Why can't I add another student to my roster?

    Your membership allows you to add only a certain number of students. If you exceed that limit, you'll have to extend your membership to include more.

    If you have a student that is no longer in your class, you can delete a student and that will also free up an extra user.

    Extend your membership to add an extra student:

    Step1: Click on "My Students" at the top of the page.

    sample email message
  • Will parent e-mails be shared with other businesses or third parties?

    Absolutely not. We take security and privacy very seriously. We never share e-mail addresses with third parties, and we will never advertise to parents. If you enter parent e-mail addresses, we will only send student progress reports to parents. Parents can unsubscribe if they wish.

    Please see our privacy-policy for additional information about the security and privacy of data on our site.

  • How do I set this up?

    Make sure that each student has a parent e-mail address entered with their roster information.

    If you've already set up your class roster, you'd simply go to your roster and click on the edit button button on the desired student. You'll then see a field for parent e-mail.

Features & Settings
  • How do I assign a lesson?

    Before you assign a lesson, you'll need to create a class roster. (For more information, please see: Setting Up Your Class Roster.)

    Once you have your class set up, select K, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 at the top of the screen to see lessons at a specific grade level. When you arrive at the menu list for that grade level, click on the checkmark () next to the lesson name to assign it to your students.

    Assign a lesson
  • How do I re-assign a lesson?

    After a student has finished a lesson, you can reassign the lesson.

    Step 1: Log in with your teacher account and choose "My Assignments"

    Step 2: Find the assignment name and choose "More info."

    Step 3: Find the student's name and select "Reassign."

  • Can students resume a partially completed assignment?

    If a student is not able to finish an assignment in one sitting, I Know It saves their progress.

    The next time the student logs in to I Know It or visits their homepage, the assignment will be displayed. Clicking or tapping on the lesson will bring the student to the exact point where they left off.

  • How do I turn off the animated character?

    There's a button in the lower-right, located just below the character. If you click it, you'll toggle between these three choices:

    1. Animated character
    2. Emojis
    3. Off

    Turn off animation

    If you do not want any of your students to be able to turn animations on, you can turn them off in your lesson settings. To do this, go to the "My Account" tab at the top of the page. Then scroll down to the "General Lesson Settings" subheader. You'll see an option to "turn off animations."

    Students who are logged in can also adjust animations by clicking "My Settings."

  • Can questions be read aloud?

    Yes. Simply click on the speaker icon next to a question or math problem.

    Read questions aloud

    Students can change the voice in their settings. To do this, simply click on "My Settings" and choose between male or female voice.

    Change voice in settings

    If you want to disable the read aloud feature for your students, simply go to the "My Account" tab at the top of the page. Then scroll down to the "General Lesson Settings" subheader. You'll see an option to disable read alouds.

  • Can I turn off hints? Can I allow them on all questions?

    Yes. Go to the “My Account” tab at the top of the page. Then scroll down to the “General Lesson Settings” subheader. You can choose between:

    1. Allow 3 hints per lesson
    2. Always allow hints
    3. Never allow hints

    Our recommended default setting is, "Allow 3 hints per lesson."

    Changing hints
  • How can I view student scores and progress?

    Go to the "Progress" tab at the top of the page. Choose your preferred progress report. Choose from:

    1. Recent Activity (See most recent lessons that your students have been working on.)
    2. Completed Assignments (See the results of lessons you've assigned.)
    3. Student Progress (Choose a student to see what they've been working on.)
  • Can I control what lessons students can see?

    Yes. Go to the "My Account" tab at the top of the page. Then scroll down to the "General Lesson Settings" subheader. You can allow students to try lessons...

    1. Only at their own grade or ability level
    2. Only at their grade level
    3. Only at their ability level
    4. At any level
    5. Only allow assigned lessons

    We recommend letting students explore the site by allowing lessons at their grade or ability level.

    We do not recommend only allowing assigned lessons. This will prevent students from exploring the site on their own to review important math skills.

    Viewing scores and progress
  • Can student scores be emailed to parents?

    Yes they can, but only if the teacher or administrator allows it.

    To send a weekly progress report by email to parents, visit the "My Students" page. Click the edit button for any of your students, input their parent's email address, and click the green "Save Changes" button. Make sure that you have the "E-mail scores to parents" option set to On under your My Account settings.

    To turn this feature off, go to the "My Account" tab at the top of the page. Then scroll down to the "General Lesson Settings" subheader. Set the "E-mail scores to parents" option to No.

    Note: Weekly update e-mails will only be sent to parents if you have entered parent e-mail addresses in your class roster.
