Bettermarks
For almost two years, the online platform bettermarks.de has been used in grades 5 to 12 in math lessons. All students have logins or can request them through their math teacher. Bettermarks helps students to learn individually, corrects answers, provides explanations and tips, and provides instant feedback on student solutions. Students can use Bettermarks in the classroom, in FuF courses, but also at home, also available as an app. Let your child show you how it works. Or have a look at the short instruction video: https://youtu.be/DpX9ccljFVk
This is what our students say about Bettermarks:
"I think Bettermarks is great, because ..."
"... you get an answer and a calculation way."
"... you can repeat tasks."
"... then you can learn better for work."
"... you solve the tasks and then they are controlled."
"... that's a great way to learn."
