Khan Academy Instructions - www.khanacademy.org

To create a Khan Academy account:

• 1. Click on “Sign up” at the top right-hand corner of the page.

  2. Choose "Learner" and enter birth date.

  3. Choose "Enter Class Code", enter the following code:

Math 8 = FNG4WJ84

• 4. Click on “Log in to you existing account.”   Use your PCS email account to log on. (If you have another Google account, you should log out of that account before logging into the Khan Academy website)

  5. Username: firstname.lastname@plumsteadchristian.org (use your first and last name)

  6. Password: the password you have selected for your email account.

  7. If you have difficulty or questions regarding your PCS email account, please contact Mr. Burbage.

  8. Follow any further instructions given on the website.

To add a Class/Teacher:

• 1. If you followed the instructions above, you should see the teachers name on the student's dashboard.

  2. If you do not see a teachers name: Click on “Teachers” under your account on the left side of the screen.

  3. In the space under “Join a class”, enter the following code: Math 8 = FNG4WJ84

  4. You will receive an email from Khan Academy once your teacher has entered your assignments. Until that time you will not see any courses or assignments. There is no need to add one of Khan's suggested courses, your teacher will make assignments.

To complete assignments:

1. Click on “Assignments” under your class name on the left side of the screen. 

2. Once you have clicked on a specific topic, you will be given questions to answer. You will only get credit for a correct answer if you answer the problem correctly on the first try without a hint (the bottom right will show a green dot for correct answers)

3. If you are having trouble answering questions, Khan Academy offers step-by-step hints (below the answer area on the left side of the screen) as well as links to helpful tutorial videos.  I recommend watching one or two of these videos even if you’re not having trouble – it will help you to know how to access these in case you need a little bit of extra help in the future.  The videos do not interrupt your exercise progress the way that hints do.

If you have any questions, please email Ms. Carty at ccarty@plumsteadchristian.org.
