We will be using the Freckle App for math practice. I love Freckle because it is adaptive. This means that when you child first logs on and chooses a topic they will have a pretest in that topic. The app learns what material is too easy, what is too hard, and what is just right. This means that some students might start on level 1 if the topic is something they have not learned before. Other students might start on level 8 if they have some knowledge on the topic already.
Here is a quick tutorial (3 minutes) that I found about how to use the Freckle app/website as a student.
This Week's Assignment: Pre-tests in Adaptive Math
This week’s math assignment is to do the adaptive math pre-tests in Freckle. Once you are logged into Freckle, click on Math Practice, then Adaptive Math.
Then click on the type of math you want to practice today. The first time you do this it will bring you to a pre-test. Answer the questions the best you can. If a question is too hard just give your best guess. The app will make questions easier or harder based on what you need.
There are a lot of types of math. You can do the pre-tests for all of them if you want to. The ones you have to practice right now are Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Base 10, and Counting and Cardinality.
Answer questions on the pre-test until they say they found your level.
Now you can practice that type of math at your just-right level!
If you have any questions let me know!
