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.

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.

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.

Freckle by Renaissance is helping our students to practice and master skills/standards in ELA and math. It provides evidence of mastery or non-mastery of skills. The students like practicing their skills on Freckle. They especially like the the coins and "buying" from the store. It motivates them to want to practice correctly.

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.

Freckle is used as an adaptive platform to support our students in reading and math skills. The reading platforms support students' phonics foundation skills, reading comprehension, grammar, and adaptive reading levels. The math platform coordinates with the state standards to measure and meet the adaptive needs of students. Freckle and Star Assessments connect to ensure students are working on their appropriate level. Freckle offers a variety of resources to help identify areas for improvement, progress, as well as growth on both platforms. We actively use Freckle each day with student choice options, as well as teacher-created assignments. Freckle offers feedback, collaboration, and motivation to ensure continued student involvement.

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 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.

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.

Freckle is being utilized as supplemental support for our FAP math class and with our 6th grade math lab class. It is being used by students who are 3 or more grade levels below their peers. Students in both programs spend 30 minutes or more on Freckle a day.

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.

Freckle by Renaissance is being used within the organization on a more individual teacher basis. Freckle by Renaissance is a beautiful program that addresses students needs at no cost for most features within the program that addresses multi
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.
