Follow these steps to go from a new account to a live assignment.

Create your teacher account and complete the initial welcome flow.

If you’re prompted to “Join your school,” you can click Do this later and continue. Rostering can be completed afterward if needed.

From your teacher dashboard, select Assign in the top-left corner.

Then choose Practice.

Click Add to begin building your Practice.

You can find content in three ways:

Select the skills you want to include. You can add multiple skills and build the assignment to match your lesson goals.

Give your Practice a clear, student-friendly title (for example: “Unit 1 Practice – Linear Equations”).

Select the class or classes you want to assign it to.

Before posting, choose when students can access the assignment and when it’s due.

Post Date
This is when the Practice becomes visible to students.
Use this if you’re building ahead and want it to open later (e.g., Monday at 8:00 AM).

Due Date
This is when you expect students to complete the Practice.
Use this to set clear expectations and keep student dashboards organized.

Common setups:

Open now, due later
Set Post date to today/now and Due date to Friday at 3:00 PM.

Open in the future
Set Post date to a future time (students won’t see it until then), and set a Due date after it opens.

Click Save Changes.

Then click Post to make the Practice live.

Once posted, students will see it on their dashboard, and results will begin populating as soon as they start working.
