Ahhhh, March -- notoriously one of the most difficult months of teaching. Not quite winter, not quite spring. The middle child of months, if you will.
That’s why we invite you to tie those laces, grease those wheels
, or slip on those slippers
(we don’t judge), and join us on our March Through March. We’ve got this!
Plus, we’ve added some great new features to help you power through the month. What more do you need, really? 🤷🏻♀️
Here are some of the improvements for this month:
Platform Enhancements
20 New Stems
30 New 4th Grade Instructional Videos
48 New 3rd Grade Instructional Videos
37 Other new Instructional Videos

Small Changes, Big Impacts
This month we’ve got two small-but-mighty enhancements we think you’ll love.
♻️Refresh a single question
The Refresh Questions option in our printable assignments is a great tool in so many ways, and we’ve just stepped 👣 it up a bit.
In addition to changing all of the questions on an assignment, you can now refresh individual questions. Choose the exact question type or wording with a single click!
📋List-View in My Collection
You now have two ways to view assignments in My Collection
The original Assignment Card view
The newly added List View.
Take your pick!

New Features
Eyes on Your Own Screen, Please👀: Secure Browser Added
We know our students are resourceful, and we are here for it! But sometimes “resourceful” looks more like “Let me Google that real quick.”
That’s where this new feature walks👣 in.
Next Gen Math now supports a secure browser powered by Respondus LockDown Browser. When activated, students cannot open additional browsers or applications. Assignments must be accessed through the secure browser.
When enabled for an assignment, the secure browser:
Blocks access to other applications
Blocks access to links
Allows students to exit the browser only when the assignment is complete
Allows a password to be set in order for students to leave the browser
Students will need to complete a one-time download of the secure browser. Once that is complete, they will be able to open assignments that are locked.
Note: This feature will be turned off until a school or district is ready to use it. For more information or to request this feature, please have an administrator or IT email us at support@nextgenmath.com.
Mass Print Individual Student Results
Another top requested feature has arrived: the ability to print individual student reports for an entire class (or a selected number of students).
These reports are ideal for:
Teacher-family conferences
Teacher-students conferences
Student reflections
PLC data discussions
Item analysis
You are now just 2 clicks away from printing multiple reports.
If only everything were such a walk👣 in the park.
Integrated Math Domain Assessments
Our library of resources for high school continues to grow. Joining the platform this month are Domain Assessments for high school Integrated Math (IM).
These join our existing prebuilt assessment types, including:
Diagnostics
Target Practice
Domain Assessments
Summative Assessments
