Earn virtual prizes
IXL awards are virtual prizes that recognize children’s achievements in math and language arts skills.
What will learners earn awards for on IXL? A lot of things! Achievement isn’t just about mastering skills or answering questions correctly in a row. It’s just as important to celebrate children’s effort. That’s why IXL-ers also earn awards for progress milestones—like time spent, days practiced, and more!
Once your child has worked on skills in IXL, find their awards by hovering over the Learning tab and clicking on “Awards.”
Explore themed awards
What do balloon animals, binoculars, and beach balls have in common? Children can earn all these awards and more for completing math and language arts challenges! Let’s find out about earning these prizes.
Math awards
It’s treasure hunting time! Every grade level gets to explore its own special game board that’s bursting with hidden awards. Just look—there’s a prize waiting for your child under every tile! Little ones can giggle over monkeys and armadillos, while older learners can travel around the globe or explore outer space.
While the hidden prizes are a mystery, children can always hover over the question marks to keep track of their challenges and progress toward making their next discovery.
Choose a challenge that gets your IXL-er most excited, then let the learning adventure begin!
Look out for the shimmering stars; with one click (and maybe a drumroll!), your child can reveal their well-deserved prize. As learners continue making progress, they’ll gleefully watch their game board fill up with awards!
Language arts awards
Turn language arts achievements into captivating collections to delight IXL-ers of all ages! Kiddos will clap for each stuffed animal or wind-up toy they earn, and older learners will look forward to building out their book cover collection.
Encourage children to reach goals across all nine categories! Then together, track their progress toward earning their next cool sticker, badge, or other collectable.
The featured collection showcases an award for each category, but don’t forget to scroll down the page to see every single prize your learner earned!
Each new nesting doll or stamp inspires IXL-ers to keep up their hard work. Get ready to cheer on your children as they complete their collection.
