ASSISTments is a free digital teaching platform.  It contains a large volume of ready to use content, chiefly in mathematics.  All content is linked to the Common Core.  Content is developed by the team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, by fellow teachers and by you.  The self-authoring feature sets ASSISTments apart and allows you to leverage ASSISTments to be an extension or you – there to help your students as they work on homework assignments outside of class.

ASSISTments is a valuable formative assessment tool as it allows teachers to know before class which students will need more support and which concepts may need to be retaught or reviewed the following day.  ASSISTments facilitates data driven instruction in a manageable, effective way.
