Practice sets in Google Classroom are now generally available

What’s changing

Last year, we announced a beta for a new tool in Google Classroom called practice sets. Educators can transform new and existing content into engaging and interactive assignments. With autograding built in, teachers can receive performance insights and snapshots into student progress. 


Students get real-time feedback as they complete practice sets, so they know whether they’re on the right track. If they get stuck and need support, they can see automated hints and video suggestions, which are selected based on a learning skill added by the teacher. 


We’re excited to announce that practice sets are now generally available in English in Google Classroom to Google Workspace for Education Plus and Google Workspace for Education Teaching and Learning customers.


Who’s impacted

Admins and end users 

Why you’d use it 

While every student learns in their own way, practice and specific feedback can help them learn more effectively. Assignments can be completed with a variety of tools for input, such as a mouse, stylus, touchpad, or math keyboard depending on how a student works best. With practice sets, educators can more easily get insight into which concepts need more instruction time and when to move on, giving them performance trends and insights to shape future lesson plans. 

Visit the Teacher Center to learn more about practice sets via our online course.


Additional details 

A key part of teacher workflows is sharing their content. Now, teachers can share practice sets with verified teachers in their Google Workspace, and leverage one another's curriculum with their own students. Speak to your admin to become a verified teacher. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: Practice sets are enabled by default, but admins need to add teachers to the verified teacher group in order for them to receive a shared practice set from other teachers in their Google Workspace. 
  • End users: To access practice sets, go to Google Classroom > Practice sets > Create (or practicesets.classroom.google.com). Visit the Help Center to learn more about Practice sets.
