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 in the Elementary

It has been well received by my students. The kids especially like their avatars and earning coins in the daily math fact practice. It is more difficult to guide students into completing tasks that are more difficult or less favored. Some reports are more difficult to interpret - but there are a variety to choose from. Again, their are many options for teachers and students.

Freckle by Renaissance is a great tool for Education Specialists. It is a great tool because you can assign specific tasks to your students based on the goal that they are working on. I also like that they can watch videos if they don't know how to solve a problem. Freckle by Renaissance is also great for reading comprehension since there are many articles for students to read that are fiction and non-fiction. A scenario where Freckle by Renaissance may be less appropriate may be for group work or writing practice.

Freckle is leveled, so teachers can use it for differentiation. Teachers can assign different assignments in different domains or standards at different levels for students.Students can practice independently. Freckle does not replace teaching the skills or standards, but it is wonderful for skills/standards practice and to show mastery of those skills/standards.

I used Freckle math weekly in the classroom. I also use this working one to one with students who need extra help or tutoring. This has been an excellent tool that really helps me to cut some plan time. I don't like using freckle as an entire class for one standard. I don't think it always works for this. It is best as supplemental work or enrichment.

Freckle does a great job of establishing a continuum to allow students to build confidence and continued use from elementary to high school. Freckle does a fantastic job differentiating and meeting the student's needs to build their confidence and belief in their achievements to be successful learners. The less appropriate scenario is in the reteach lessons they provide.

I am the dyslexia specialist for our district. I have found some lessons that are available for me to assign to my students who struggle with phonemic awareness skills. I use the Orton-Gillingham method of teaching these students the sounds. The lesson I found will give my students the opportunity to practice what I have been teaching. It also gives me an idea of how well they are retaining those skills. Another feature that is helpful for my students, especially those I am servicing now, is the decodable readers. Many of my students want to be able to read a book or story, but some of the words are hard for them to decode. I like that freckle offers decodable readers for my students to use while testing their skills. I have not accessed them yet, but I have it in my plans to use it this week.

Freckle is a fantastic online learning platform. I think it works well in multiple learning environments. Last year I used Freckle in a distance learning model and this year on individual iPads in class. I love that it is a quick platform to assess student achievement. I haven't experienced a scenario where Freckle would fail however, lack of access to the internet is always a factor.

Freckle is a great tool for students in the middle grades. As noted previously, it is easy for students and teachers alike to use it. It is very well suited for students who are hard-working, self-motivated, and independent. It would not be appropriate for schools without one-to-one computers or strong and fast internet connections.

Freckle is great for elementary-age students. The math lessons have practice opportunities, checks to gauge progress, and allows teachers to easily track student progress. I also love that they have online AND printable practice options for students. Many online programs don't have printables ready to go for students. This is a great addition. Students also love the incentives and "rewards" they earn. Students can spend coins at the store and dress up their avatars.

The company name Freckle by Renaissance is representative of how diverse the program truly is. Before the program being called Freckle by Renaissance, it was known as FrontRow several years ago the company changed the name to Freckle to represent how individualized there mission was. Freckle by Renaissance was representative of how no one person has the same freckles, and from that, the program built their core around no two children are alike and allow for different paths for students based on their placement test in
the individual domains in ELA & math.
