For this week’s resource blog post, I decided to go with another website I found. The organization that runs the website is called Freckle Education, formerly known as Front Row. It targets kids kindergarten through ninth grade, and is free for teachers separate from some fees for different upgrades you can buy. I think this website is a good resource for students because it allows kids to practice math at their own level and pace. It has more than 30,000 math questions and starts with a diagnostic that starts the students off at just the right level. This allows the students to get the appropriate level of instruction and lessons that fosters the right amount of growth that is good for the students. Front Row also features lessons, assessments, and reports to help teachers come up with different material and research different strategies for teaching. The website also has a dropdown bar titled “resources” that has case studies, research, webinars, and blogs to help teachers share ideas and learn new ones from different teachers. I think this website is a great resource because it gives the students the right amount and level they need to really engage with learning. At the same time, teachers are able to check on a students work and see what areas they might be struggling with, as well as provide very useful information, giving teachers an advantage when it comes to teaching and adapting to students.

Carter,
ReplyDeleteI feel like this could be a good resource because of how many questions it has and also how it starts off with a diagnostic that determines where the student should be. It looks like it offers a lot of things that can be helpful in a future classroom, like the webinars and the lesson plans.
