How I Use It

I have an adapted practice license for each of my 6th grade math students. I assign Wootmath as homework, as extra practice during class, and I use the interactive bank and my Smartboard for whole class instruction. I also use the polls on a regular basis for quick, instant feedback, formative assessments.

Highly interactive tool that meets individual student needs, clarifying often misunderstood concepts, and supporting students in making meaningful sense of rational numbers.

My Take

I really like the way this one product pulls together in one tool all the the different things that I have used other technology resources for (i.e. individualized practice, quick checks for understanding). Having taught all middle school level math classes, I really appreciate the focus on rational number sense as it is one of the most critical pieces of overall mathematical understanding and growth. I also appreciate the way the company is always seeking and responsive to feedback.
