How to Use the Administrative Console?
The Administrative Console is now available for Thinkwell Homeschool Middle and High School Math courses! 📚 This update makes it easier than ever to support your student’s learning from your Parent or Instructor (Supervisory) Account.
From the Supervisory Account Console (the Parent or Instructor Account), you can:
- View an Activity Report
- View your student's grades
- Reset tests
- Access course Resources, including eBook Companion Books and Answer Keys
- Adjust your student's course Settings
The Administrative Console is designed to give you more visibility and control as you guide your student’s progress. With easy access to activity reports, grade tracking, and test resets, you can support your student’s success all from your own account.
This update applies to any course on our Canvas Platform — Middle and High School Math courses, Calculus, our Summer Edition Series, and the 30 Days to Algebra Readiness course.
Viewing Student Activity
From your Supervisory Account, click on the yellow “Activity” tab and select View Report.

The report shows:
-
The date and time of your student’s most recent activity
-
A checklist of completed lessons
-
Score indicators for quick progress tracking
You can also print or save the report without logging into your student’s account. If you do choose to log in as the student, please note that any exercises attempted will be recorded as student activity.

Viewing Grades and Resetting Tests
Click the green “Grades” tab and select View Grades/Reset Tests to:
-
Print your student’s Grade Report
-
Reset quizzes, tests, or exams so they can be retaken
👉 Tip: Exams can be reset as many times as needed. Just remember that resets are permanent, so we recommend saving Grade Reports as PDFs regularly. If you ever reset by accident, contact us at support@thinkwell.com, and we'll be happy to help!
Adjusting Course Settings
Click the Settings option in the Courses tab to customize which tools your student can access.
From Settings, you can:
- Turn off Worksheet Answer Keys. These Answer Keys show the problem-solving steps for most Worksheet questions. If you or your student need to review the problem-solving steps for a specific question, you can always turn this option back on to access these resources.
- Turn Studdy Buddy on or off. Studdy Buddy is a built-in tutoring tool that offers hints and step-by-step explanations during Interactive Practice. If you'd prefer your student work without it, you can turn it off here anytime
Accessing Course Resources
Click the Resources tab to find supporting materials for your student's course, including:
- Companion Books (free eBook versions), with Lesson Notes, Worksheets, and Practice activities your student can work through offline
- Facilitator's Answer Key, an answers-only key for parents and facilitators
- Lesson Plans, How-to Videos, and more!
Tip: The Facilitator's Answer Key is available only from your Supervisory Account, so you decide when to use it and whether or not to provide your student access to the Worksheet Answer Keys in the Table of Contents of their course.
Managing Student Accounts
You can enter your student's account to change contact info and passwords directly from the Admin Console:
-
From the Admin Account Dashboard, click Login as Student
-
Select the Account tab
-
Choose Change Password or Edit Contact
This makes it quick and easy to help if your student forgets their login details.

We recommend keeping separate usernames and passwords for students and supervisors. This prevents students from accessing reset options themselves and keeps your Console tools secure.
Additional Features
