Whether you’re teaching one kid at the kitchen table or a whole crew in the classroom, we can probably all agree on one thing: grading math is not the fun part.
It may not be fun, but, unfortunately, it is necessary.
That’s why every Math Pass from Nicole the Math Lady includes Online Grading!
No more red pens, no more paper piles, no more “I’ll grade it later” guilt. Homeschool parents love getting instant updates without playing the bad guy, teachers rave about the accuracy and organization, and students love finding out right away what they nailed — and what needs a quick fix.
It’s very simple to use but makes a world of difference for parents, teachers and students!
“Game-changing” is a term frequently used by our customers to describe it. Some even call it “life-changing.” Go here for customer testimonials.
What Is Nicole the Math Lady’s Online Grading?
Online Grading is an integrated feature of our program. Instead of a parent/teacher manually checking every problem, the grading process is automated and provides immediate feedback to the student, sends an instant report to the parent/teacher and keeps track of it all. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the physical textbooks and pairs perfectly with Nicole’s lesson videos.
How Does Nicole the Math Lady’s Online Grading Work?
UsingUsing the Online Grading system is very simple. Here’s how it works:
- Once all the problems are done, they click “submit for grading.” Instantly, the parent or teacher receives an email report showing the score, number of attempts, and additional details. the Online Grading system is incredibly straightforward, making it accessible even for those new to homeschooling and/or less than tech-savvy.
- The student logs into their NTML account, selects a lesson, and watches the lesson video. Then, using their textbook, they work through each problem—entering answers directly into the system as they go.
- After each answer, they get instant feedback: “correct” or “incorrect.” If it’s right, they move on. If it’s not, they can rework the problem or rewatch the video for a quick refresher.

And, most importantly, students love Online Grading because it:
- provides instant feedback! Students don’t have to wait for their math assignments to be graded. Nobody needs to confirm for them that they understood a concept. Online Grading’s instant feedback helps reinforce correct answers and allows them to correct mistakes while the material is still fresh in their minds.
- allows for course correction! Because students know instantly if they answered a question incorrectly, they can take the time right then and there to look back at their work to find where they went wrong. After finding and fixing any mistakes, they can enter their corrected answer before moving on.
- promotes independence! With immediate feedback and the ability to find and fix their own mistakes, students are empowered to take more ownership of their learning. This independence not only increases their level of math comprehension, it also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- encourages diligence! Nobody likes hearing their answer is “incorrect” so students who use NTML’s Online Grading tend to work on their math problems with more diligence. Even the youngest students are quick to realize, “if I have to redo the work when I get it incorrect, I might as well try my hardest the first time.”
- boosts confidence! Receiving immediate confirmation each time an answer is correct comes with a lot of benefits. All types of learners benefit from the little hits of dopamine that accompany green checkmarks, cheery chings and celebratory messages. And the confidence boost a student gets from answering Problem 3 carries into Problems 4, 5 and 6!
