Grading in the dashboard
For end-unit assessments and quizzes in Desmos Math 6–A1, you can grade your students’ work in the Teacher dashboard.
To turn on Assessment Grading, select Begin Grading from the activity title menu.
When grading mode is turned on:
Students are anonymized and shuffled to support unbiased grading of students’ work.
The activity is paused to prevent students from modifying their work while you are grading.
Some work is scored automatically and teachers can view the scores in the Summary dashboard.
Screens that receive a check in the Summary view are deemed correct and are scored with a 4 for “Meeting/Exceeding.”
Screens that receive an X in the Summary view are deemed incorrect and are left to be scored by the teacher using guidance from the rubric.
Screens without student work are scored with a “–” for “No Work.”
You can grade your students’ work in two ways: Summary view and Teacher view.
Summary view
Click into any student screen to bring up the grading panel. You can select the following score options for the student screen:
4 - Meeting/Exceeding
3 - Approaching
2 - Developing
1 - Beginning
If helpful, reference the assessment rubric while grading. It is available in the Rubric tab at the bottom of your screen.
Once you choose a score, you can leave feedback for the student to accompany it, move on to score the next screen, or click the down arrow to the next student.
Teacher view
Click any student response to open the Grading panel. Choose your score and enter your feedback. Feedback will be sent to all the students you selected.
Teachers can do quick bulk scoring and provide feedback to groups of students. You can click Select all visible students to select every student currently shown on the screen.
Resume lesson and share scores
Click Resume and Share to end your grading session. The grades are automatically saved for that activity.
A window displays, and you can choose to share scores with your students. If you want to share the scores immediately, click Share Scores Now. If not, click Don’t Share Scores.
Resuming the lesson will unpause the activity so students can read any feedback you sent them. If you choose to share scores, students will see the scores you have assigned.
When you share scores, students will receive a notification when they navigate to Student Home. They can view and edit the item, but any work will not be saved.
If you’d like to create a CSV to send grades to your online gradebook, select Export Grades from the activity title menu
