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.

Freckle by Renaissance Review
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

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

Freckle by Renaissance is a Great Tool!
Our school used Freckle by Renaissance for Math and ELA practice. I have seen students use it for additional practice when students score in the red or yellow in the STAR assessments. I have used it to work on goals with my students. Freckle by Renaissance is great for students because you are able to assign activities at the individual level of each student. If you are working on a standard that is higher than the student's level, there are also videos accompanying the activities to give the student a tutorial before they attempt the problem.
- Adaptive practice
- Students reports
- Example videos during practice
- Teacher view
- More options on the fact practice. For example, the opportunity to choose which math facts to focus on (1s, 6s, 8s, etc.)
- More than two opportunities to complete fact practice

I love Freckle math. It is so easy for a teacher to use. Most of the features are user friendly for both teachers and students. I find that this is the most motivating way for me to give math practice. The students feel like they are making progress and they can see their progress.
- Progress Monitoring
- Math Practice
- Small group instruction and direction
- Assigning work never turns out the right way
- Some of the standards don't seem to match the work
- Allow more than 2 sessions of fact practice per day

I am a Title 1 reading teacher and Dyslexia Specialist. I love that I can create my own classes with the particular students that I serve. In one class I have students ranging from 6th grade to 2nd grade. I am able to assign lessons based on their needs. For instance, a student in 6th grade may need help with comprehension whereas my 2nd-grade student needs more help in foundation reading skills. These students are only with me for about an hour a day, but I can assign lessons that they are able to accomplish anywhere. Upon completion of their assignments, I am able to see how well they are accomplishing their tasks. With this information, I can determine whether I need to continue teaching a particular skill. Freckle is very useful. Several of our teachers have used it in the past or are still using it presently.
- Freckle offers ELA lessons for all skills from foundational to comprehension and higher-level thinking skills.
- The reports are very easy to read and show specific areas of success or need.
- Freckle is very useful when teachers need to assign lessons for Alternate Methods of Teaching (AMI) days.
- I love the simplicity of Freckle. The site is easy to use and navigate. Setting up my classes was an easy task.
- My students get bored with just answering questions the whole time. They complain about having to get on to Freckle.
- I would like to see open ended or open response questions.
- I would like for Freckle to be able to assess fluency.

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: A Math Program that Works!

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.

Easy Freckle
It is being used by certain grades/teams. Not every grade in elementary school uses it on a regular basis, but a few do.
- It is simple and easy to give assignments. I can see sample questions, see the standards, and check students' scores/results with ease. It is also easy for the students to find their results.
- Logging in is easy for students. There is a class code and then they simply type in their name.
- Freckle is fun for students. They love earning coins and getting the chance to buy different accessories for their avatars.
- I wish it had more standards under targeted practice for math.

Freckle Math in Middle School
Math teachers at my school are using it in their classrooms and in remote learning. It helps us target skills that students are weak in and let us assign individualized practices for them. There are videos and other help sections for students as well. They have sections where they can practice math facts to get points for their avatar.
- Targeted practice.
- Easy to group students and assign practice that way.
- Easy to use at home (remote learning).
- More questions/practice for specific subsets of skills.
