Assigned exercises
Big Ideas assignments are sets of textbook exercises. The agent works them in order and checks each answer registered.
Big Ideas Math delivers assignments through the Big Ideas Learning platform, often linked into Canvas. Silent Student follows the link and works each problem in the answer box.
Big Ideas assignments are sets of textbook exercises. The agent works them in order and checks each answer registered.
The agent has built-in handling for the common web math editors (MathQuill and MathLive), so fractions and exponents go in as math.
Your teacher decides how many tries each problem gets. The agent uses the attempts allowed and cannot take one back.
Big Ideas Learning can be linked into Canvas. The agent follows the assignment link your teacher posted.
Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.
A run that turned the work in and saw the platform's confirmation says so. A run that saved some answers and then got stuck is reported as partial, with the remaining part named, never as done.
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Big Ideas Math assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas and lands in Big Ideas Learning. It does not ask for or type your password.
The vision agent reads each problem from a screenshot and the page's controls, enters the answer, and reads the page back before the next problem.
It uses the platform's own submit or completion control and marks the run confirmed only when the platform shows it. If it had to stop early, the log says which part is still yours.
Big Ideas Math is mostly typed math. These are the exceptions.
Big Ideas Math runs on the general vision agent, not a solver written for its interface, and we have not yet published a recorded run on it. Expect it to be less predictable than our dedicated platforms, and check the run log for what it did.
Problems where you plot or draw on a graph are the hardest type for a screen-reading agent. Check those yourself.
The agent does not check for a timer, so don't queue a timed test you want to pace yourself.
Tests that run inside a lockdown browser or a proctoring tool need software the agent's browser does not run, so they do not open for it. Don't queue a proctored test; take it yourself.
Yes. It uses the math editor on the page rather than plain text, so fractions, exponents and roots are entered as math.
Big Ideas Learning records your answers, attempts and time spent, and your teacher can see it. Silent Student does not hide, disguise or fake any of that. It runs in a normal browser on your computer, signed in as you, and whether using it is allowed is decided by your class or school policy.
Ordinary assigned quizzes are worked like homework. It does not check for a timer, and tests behind a lockdown browser are yours to take.
Any plan. Every plan includes the vision agent that works this platform; plans differ in monthly usage and in access to the advanced pro model. See the pricing page for details.
Queue the Big Ideas Math assignment from Canvas and check it in the morning.
