How to open an assignment in the Student Tool

When you download an example assignment from brainpowermath.com you will see that it is a .ZIP file. The first thing you need to do is extract the .ZIP file (to extract: Windows right click and select "extract here", or MAC just click to open the file). The extracted folder will contain two files. 1) The assignment, which is an XML file and 2) a "read me" or instruction file, which is a .txt file. Before you attempt or edit the assignment read the "read me" or instruction file as it contains brief details on the assignment.

To attempt the assignment open it using the student tool. If you would like to edit an assignment so it meets your students' needs better, open it using the Authoring tool.

Here is a video walkthrough of how to attempt an assignment using the student tool. NOTE: The video only shows a question where one step is required to be answered. However, you can create assignments where individual question/problem require several steps to be entered by the student.
