Everything teachers need for personalized, whole-class math instruction
Takeoff by IXL Math™ is currently available for grades 2-5, and can help teachers differentiate a full year of daily math instruction without any prior planning.

Comprehensive, day-by-day lesson plans are readily available to educators, providing all the relevant background information and instructional activities required to deliver each lesson. Skillfully designed online and printable activities give students plenty of opportunities for guided and independent practice. Online activities consist of adaptive skills from IXL's vast curriculum that enable learners to reinforce concepts at their own pace. Teachers can also print practice pages and classroom games from Takeoff workbooks to engage students in new ways. And ready-made mid-unit and end-of-unit assessments not only check for understanding, but identify exactly what each student should work on next to fuel their growth.

These powerful, ready-made tools fit into any classroom and work in unison so that teachers can meet students' unique needs. The Takeoff curriculum does not require any training to implement, and can be used flexibly for core and supplemental instruction.

Make personalization effortless: Takeoff by IXL Math^™ seamlessly integrates personalization with classroom instruction. Resources for support and enrichment are embedded within each lesson plan, making it easy for teachers to differentiate their whole-group instruction. Each online learning activity on IXL adapts in difficulty to meet students where they are and help them grow, and offers support through tutorial videos, immediate corrective feedback and more.

Easily measure understanding with built-in, actionable assessments: Takeoff by IXL Math^™ provides ready-made check-ins and tests that identify the exact areas students need help with and give teachers actionable next steps to address them. After each assessment, IXL automatically creates small groups based on shared needs and recommends the exact materials students should focus on next, based on how they performed. Teachers can then use these insights for a personalization day to quickly and efficiently support students who need help, as well as challenge learners, while keeping the whole class moving forward.
