Equatio vs. IXL Learning

It is suitable for learners that are completing their maths tasks online. It means they can effortlessly use mathematical symbols with accuracy. It means that the work is presented effectively. It is not so useful for jottings and working out as it tries too predict too much when the child is not finished.

It is great for providing students extra resources and opportunities for practice. In this case, it is extremely well suited. Moreover, since every student is different, the dynamic adjustment allows students to work through more/less problems depending on their level of mastery which can help students pinpoint areas of issues to discuss in the class. It is less appropriate for settings where a student may struggle to teach themselves as this requires some level of independence on part of the user.

Support is great. Would love to experience better data analytics to determine the effectiveness of the product. This is a major pitfall because it is ultimately the reason why the product is failing.

Equatio is okay, but not great.

IXL is the best for easy to find practice for math standards. Freckle has more in depth features and integrates with other Renaissance products well, but can be hard to learn or use. Prodigy is a fun math game platform that works well for extra student practice or learning, but isn't as targeted as IXL

• not many teachers are using it as far as I have seen - there are other tools available to them that do the same things
• teachers who do use it enjoy the slide format of activities and how they can assign easily to students
• teachers would prefer to have the results and progress of the work assigned appear in the Google classroom instead of having a separate dashboard

• It has allowed our students to be remediated or enriched on a much easier basis without having to come up with ideas for them.
