Welcome to Classwork, your tool for reviewing and scoring all student digital submissions in the curriculum.
To access, click Classwork on the bar near the top of your screen.
Classwork is organized by class section with two tabs in Amplify Math for main navigation. The Activities tab collects class level submissions, while the Portfolios tab focuses on an individual student.
The Activities tab
To get started, choose a class section with the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the screen. You can then navigate to the unit, chapter (subunit), and lesson you’d like to review. Each submittable activity is represented in Classwork by a row, and activities will only appear in this tab if at least one student has submitted them. You can scan each row for general information, or click the Arrow (v) button to expand a class summary for the activity.
Each row showcases the following information:
Activity: An activity is grouped by the type of activity it is. The varieties presented could be: Warm-Up, Activity Number, Summary, Exit Ticket, Lesson Practice, and Assessment
Submissions: This is a roll-up of how many students out of this class have submitted their work.
Last Submission: This shows you when the last submission was for this activity.
Due Date: The assigned due date for this activity, if any, from the Assign feature.
Class Average: This is a roll-up of the class average on the assignment.
Manual Scores: This column highlights how many students are waiting for a teacher to manually score their submissions.
Class summary tables
Upon expanding an activity, you’ll see a summary table for the entire class. Each student is represented by a row, with columns for the submission Status, the student’s Total score for that activity, the Autoscore points they received, and the Manual Score.
The Autoscore column is an aggregation of all of the autoscored points students have received across multiple problems in this activity. Autoscoring of student responses will take place once students submit the last card of their activity.
The Manual Score column indicates individual problems in the activity that require manual scoring from the teacher.
The plus (+) icon in the Manual Score column indicates that a student’s response for that problem needs teacher scoring. Teachers can click on this icon area to review student work and give it a manual score.
There are five possible submission statuses:
Not Started: The student does not have any in-progress work for this activity. This is the default status.
In Progress: The student has begun working on this activity but has not yet clicked the Submit button on the last card of the activity.
Handed In: The student has submitted the activity for teacher review. Any autoscoring of student responses will take place upon submitting the last card of the activity.
Handed In Late: The student has submitted the activity past the teacher's determined due date.
Revising: The student has previously handed in the activity and, now, has saved but unsubmitted changes. The student should click Update to confirm their changes.
Resubmitted: The student has clicked Update and resubmitted the activity.
The Portfolios tab
The Portfolios tab allows you to focus on a single student, which is particularly useful for conferencing moments. Select a student with the drop-down near the upper leftcorner of the screen. Then, filter their portfolio of Amplify work by content, activity type, or submission status.
Submission notifications
You will receive a notification in the bell at the upper right corner of the screen each time students click Submit or Update on a submittable activity. Notifications are gathered across classes and will be retained for 14 days, with the most recent notifications at the top of the list. It is not currently possible to dismiss notifications or mark them as read.
Clicking a link for an activity changed by multiple students will redirect you to the Class Summary table for the corresponding activity, so you can choose where to begin review.
Clicking a link for an activity changed by one student will take you directly to the student’s review screen for that activity.
Reviewing student work
To quickly jump into the review process, click any row in the Activities tab to begin with the first student in your roster. Alternatively, you can expand the activity and click an individual student’s name from the class table.
The review screen conveniently displays student responses on the left, with scoring tools in the panel to the right.
Scores
Each problem for an activity might have autoscored components and/or manually scored components.
For components that are autoscored, they will be automatically scored once a student has submitted the last card of an activity.
For components that require manual scoring, they will have a plus (+) icon on the right scoring panel and a plus (+) Score tag on the student response. These help indicate when a teacher needs to input a score for the student’s response. Teachers will have an option to select a score from the drop-down in the right scoring panel.
The maximum potential score for each component is predetermined by the curriculum and cannot be adjusted at this time.
Print and export
You may need to transfer Amplify work and scores to your district grading software or LMS. There are a variety of ways to conveniently print or export editable CSVs within Classwork.
Export multiple activities
You can export multiple activities to a CSV simultaneously with the Bulk Export button in the bottom left corner of the Activities tab. Use the checkboxes next to each activity to make a selection for the export.
Export individual activities
To export an individual activity, use the Export button at the bottom of the expanded activity table. This will create a CSV with a column for each column of the Class Summary table.
Print work for the entire class
To print many or all student responses for an activity, click the Print button at the bottom of the expanded activity table. Checkboxes will display next to each student’s name, and you can choose to print some or all student work accordingly.
Print work for an individual student
To print work for an individual student, you can use the Print feature from the Class Summary table, or you can print off from the student’s review screen.
To get to the student’s review screen, find the activity and navigate to the student’s name. You can click a student name from the expanded class grid as a shortcut. Once you’re on the review page, click the Print button in the activity header.
