NCTM Has Partnered with ASSISTments to Solve “Figure This!” Problems

NCTM is excited to announce that we have partnered with ASSISTments to offer you NCTM's “Figure This!” problems in the ASSISTments platform.

What is ASSISTments?

ASSISTments is a math practice and assessment system that empowers teachers to target class instruction, monitor learning and intervene quickly to keep students on track. When teachers assign digitally through Google Classroom or Canvas, ASSISTments enhances math content with actionable data for teachers and immediate feedback for students.

At NCTM, we understand that as the field of mathematics advances so must we. Utilizing ASSISTments technology, we are able to extend beyond the classroom and into the homes of our students while still providing the structure and scaffolding necessary for student success. 

What is Figure This!

Figure This! problem sets were originally designed to help families enjoy mathematics outside of school. These problems emphasize the importance of high-quality math education for all students and can be used in whatever way makes sense to you - Use them to drive your math club, supplement your daily curricula aligned work, and assign at home for students to complete with their families.
