Freckle Math has become an essential tool for third and fourth-grade teachers in both distance learning and classroom settings. Teachers rely on this platform to differentiate instruction and address the unique needs of each student, regardless of their math proficiency. By aligning with state standards, Freckle's adaptive math platform allows teachers to measure students' progress and tailor their learning experience accordingly. The integration of Freckle with Star Assessments ensures that students are working at their appropriate level.
Teachers utilize Freckle on a daily basis to offer student choice options and assign custom assignments. The platform's feedback, collaboration, and motivational features keep students engaged throughout their math journey. Freckle particularly proves valuable for Title 1 reading teachers and Dyslexia Specialists who can create classes for students with different grade levels, assigning lessons based on individual needs. It enables teachers to track progress, identify areas requiring further instruction, and provide additional support for students who are behind their peers in multiple grade levels. Besides being used by individual teachers, Freckle is widely adopted on a school-wide or district-wide basis, catering to grades K through 6.

We have been using Freckle by Renaissance this past year in our school. It is incredibly user friendly for our students and teachers. The program works hand in hand with our standardized testing data through the program Star 360 - Early Literacy, Reading, and Math. This program keeps students engaged with the "fun" aspect of it with being able to earn coins and purchase outfits and things for their character. All while letting the kids have fun AND learn at the same time. The platform itself is laid out very well that anyone can learn to navigate it. Our school has really enjoyed implementing this program, Freckle by Renaissance, into our learning environment.
- Easy to use and navigate
- Works well with Star 360
- Results have been seen with student scores
- The admin page is slightly confusing at first
- Would love to see more subjects added
- Would love to bundle the Renaissance products together
- Our test scores are up
- Our student engagement is up
- Our kids seem to enjoy learning more through Freckle by Renaissance
We have used IXL for many years at our school and always liked it and the kids enjoyed it. We used this program as it worked with the testing results we would get from MAPS testing (our previous standardized testing platform). I would say Freckle by Renaissance has exceeded our expectations when we were relating it to IXL. Freckle by Renaissance is much more engaging and entertaining for the students and in turn they want to use it more and therefore learn more. IXL is very redundant and has the same layout and overall look for all questions and subjects. We have been greatly impressed with Freckle by Renaissance when comparing it to IXL.

Freckle in the Elementary
Our district began using Freckle by Renaissance for summer school last year. My students enjoy the avatars and earning coins. There are many options and many reports. Students are able to practice state standards, adaptive, and targeted skills. The customer service has been very helpful with the premium program. We also received several trainings before implementing the system.
- adaptive math practice
- math fact practice
- a variety of reading in fiction and non fiction
- targeted math practice
- ability to focus on common core standards
- There are SO many options- more training on how to limit and set focus would help
- more training on how to assign and what to assign to influence growth reports
- focus skills and missing skills should automatically be assigned- not something teachers need to find in a report to assign
- differentiating learning
- useful reports
- engaging activities

Fantastical Freckle

Freckle reinvented our online math instruction. With distance learning and the daily struggle to keep our students engaged, Freckle provided a platform for success. The combination of engaging characters and the colorful, quick mathematical problems (numeracy, number sense, and computation) gave my first graders a reason to turn on their iPads and tackle their assignments. The reports provided by Freckle are insanely useful. As an educator time is always a factor and desegregating data is always a chore. Freckle made understanding my students' strengths and weaknesses easy and subsequently allowed me as their teacher to plan meaningful instruction to fill educational gaps. Freckle is a wonderful product and one I would highly recommend.
- Provides fun and meaningful activities at grade level.
- Simple and clear reports that provide a meaningful snapshot of student achievement.
- Great tech support and assistance to navigate the Freckle journey.
- I was wowed by Freckle. Maybe our lack of access on the reservation makes me easily impressed, but at this time I cannot find fault in the programming.
- Freckle encouraged and supported my students in a very challenging distance learning framework.
- Freckle provided an engaging platform to encourage mathematical success.
- Freckle is teacher friendly and the reports are exceptionally well organized, clear, and easy to understand.
Freckle is by far the best online math program I've used. I've taught for 25 years and am a firm believer in hands on, project based mathematical instruction. With distance learning and the current classroom requirements during the pandemic, I needed to shift gears. Freckle proved to be a wonderful tool to support and drive pertinent instruction while providing real-time, necessary achievement information.

Freckle: A Math Program that Works!
Score 8 out of 10

The third and fourth-grade teachers in my school building use Freckle math as a resource. They used it during distance learning as the bulk of the math curriculum. During the regular year, they use it to differentiate for student needs and augment the regular curriculum. We believe that every single student is deserving a year's growth in a year's worth of time. This is true no matter if a student begins at, below, or above grade level in math. Freckle helps us meet students' unique needs so that we reach the goal of all making a year's progress minimum in a year's time.
- Differentiation: Students are guided though lessons that fit their unique learning needs.
- Data collection: Teachers have access to ongoing reports that help them tailor instruction.
- Versatility: Students can access Freckle from any computer at any time.
- Price: In a perfect world, Freckle would be less expensive.
- High scores on state tests.
- 100% of our students made a year's growth in a year's time in math.
- Students enjoy Freckle math.
We have also used Moby Max. Freckle is preferred because, quite frankly, the children like it a lot better. That matters. It has a more student-friendly interface.

Discipline subjects. When using in a classroom, the free version will be suitable covering Math, ELA, Science & Social Studies. If using as a school-wide platform or district-wide, the premium upgraded plan is the better choice. It will provide more data to help ensure the best practice for each individual student.
