Assessments
Use Pixton at the start of a unit to gauge prior knowledge, misconceptions, and readiness for new content. Ask students to build or complete a short comic that illustrates their current understanding of a concept and gain a quick picture of each student’s starting point, helping you plan instruction with confidence.
Formative - Make checks for understanding more engaging and student-friendly.
Pixton makes it easy to monitor understanding during your math lessons. Students can show how they would correct an error, solve a word problem, or explain their steps to solve a complex equation. These short, low-stakes creations help you see how students are processing new material in real time, so you can adjust instruction with ease.
Summative - Students show their learning through creative storytelling.
At the end of a unit, students can produce a complete comic that demonstrates their learning beyond traditional tests. Whether they’re showing alternative solution pathways, solving a multi-step problem, or applying their skills to a real-world scenario, their finished comic provides deep insight into their understanding and ability to apply their learning.
