Assignment Hierarchy

AIde organizes DeltaMath problems into a three-level structure:

​
1. Assignment (Top Level)

The assignment is the single container that teachers create and share with students. This is what you see as one item in your DeltaMath dashboard. It contains multiple sub-assignments. Key Points:
  • One assignment can contain multiple different topics
  • Teachers can mix any grade levels or subjects within a single assignment

​
2. Sub-Assignment (Topic Level)

Each assignment contains multiple sub-assignments. Each sub-assignment focuses on a single specific topic, all the questions within it are about the same concept. However, an assignment can include any mix of different sub-assignments, each covering its own topic. Examples of Sub-Assignments:
  • “Solving Linear Equations”
  • “Graphing Quadratic Functions”
  • “Area of Triangles”
  • “Simplifying Radical Expressions”
Key Points:

​
3. Problems (Question Level)

Each sub-assignment contains individual problems – the actual questions you need to solve. Key Points:
  • DeltaMath’s default is 5 problems per sub-assignment
  • Teachers can customize this number (some may assign 3, 10, or more)
  • Each problem has randomly generated numbers but follows the same concept
  • Problems within a sub-assignment will always be the same type/topic

​
How AIde Processes Your Work

By default, AIde automatically completes all sub-assignments within a parent assignment when you paste a URL. However, Plus plan users can enable Single Assignment Mode to complete only the specific sub-assignment they paste.
1

Assignment Analysis

AIde analyzes the assignment URL to identify all sub-assignments contained within it. In Single Assignment Mode (Plus only), this step is skipped—only the pasted sub-assignment is processed.
2

Sub-Assignment Processing

AIde works through each sub-assignment individually, completing all problems within that topic before moving to the next. In Single Assignment Mode, only the single pasted sub-assignment is completed.
3

Problem Completion

For each problem within a sub-assignment, AIde reads the question, calculates the solution, and submits the answer.
4

Progress Tracking

AIde tracks completion at both the sub-assignment level (for your usage limits) and individual problem level (for accuracy monitoring).

​
Single Assignment Mode (Plus Plan Only)

Single Assignment Mode allows you to complete only the specific sub-assignment URL you paste, without AIde automatically discovering and solving other sub-assignments in the parent assignment. Default Behavior:
  • Paste any DeltaMath URL → AIde completes the entire assignment (all sub-assignments)
Single Assignment Mode:
  • Paste a sub-assignment URL → AIde completes only that specific sub-assignment
  • Other sub-assignments in the parent assignment are ignored
  • Gives you precise control over what gets completed
  • Helps conserve weekly limits when you only need help with specific topics

​
Usage Limits Explained

AIde tracks your usage using dual counting to prevent abuse while giving you flexibility:

​
Free Plan Limits

  • 5 sub-assignments per week OR 20 individual problems per week
  • Whichever limit you hit first stops your usage

​
Plus Plan Limits

  • 50 sub-assignments per week OR 300 individual problems per week
  • Whichever limit you hit first stops your usage

​
Why Dual Counting?

This system prevents abuse while accommodating different assignment structures: Scenario 1: Many Small Sub-Assignments
  • Assignment with 10 sub-assignments, 3 problems each (30 total problems)
  • Free users: Stopped at 5 sub-assignments (15 problems completed)
  • Prevents gaming the system with many tiny sub-assignments
Scenario 2: Few Large Sub-Assignments
  • Assignment with 3 sub-assignments, 10 problems each (30 total problems)
  • Free users: Stopped at 20 individual problems (completed ~2 sub-assignments)
  • Prevents abuse through assignments with unusually high problem counts

​
Practical Examples

Typical Week - Free Plan

Monday: Complete 1 assignment with 2 sub-assignments (10 problems) Wednesday: Complete 1 assignment with 2 sub-assignments (8 problems)
Friday: Complete 1 assignment with 1 sub-assignment (5 problems)Total: 5 sub-assignments, 23 problems ✅ Within limits

Heavy Usage - Plus Plan

Week 1: Complete 8 large assignments averaging 6 sub-assignments each Total: 48 sub-assignments, ~240 problems ✅ Within limitsThis level of usage requires the Plus plan’s higher limits.

​
Understanding Your Usage

When you submit an assignment to AIde, we’ll show you:
  • How many sub-assignments it contains
  • Estimated number of total problems
  • How this will impact your weekly limits
  • Whether you have enough remaining usage to complete it
This transparency helps you make informed decisions about which assignments to process with AIde and which to complete manually.
