Common problems when logging in
I don’t see the assignment under “To Do” (common for people who have been doing paper HW)
If there are multiple assignments in your “To Do” you may have to scroll down and click on the
“show more” tab to see the remainder of the assignments
A Pearson page keeps coming up after I type in my user name/password and it wants me to type it
in again.
This means the user name and/or password was typed incorrectly. They are case sensitive so be
sure you are typing it exactly as it appears on your sticker inside your planner. Close the
“Welcome to Pearson” window and go back to mymathuniverse.com to re-enter the information.
Can I log into Digits using my iPad?
Digits is not compatible with iPad.
I can’t open the homework assignment. When I click on “Start” or “Try Again” nothing happens.
This is because the pop ups are being blocked. Please change your browser settings to allow pop
ups. (See step #2 on reverse side of this paper) Then refresh your Internet page and click on
“Start” or “Try Again”.
I completed some questions the last time I logged in, but now it is starting me all over again.
Be sure you click on “Save” before exiting the homework assignment. Also see “Homework
Tech Help” tip sheet.
