This app is absolutely free, and offers practice problems, instructional videos, and personalized learning dashboards to students.

iReady is an online learning platform for students in the k12 setting. This program offers ELA and Math content, personalized learning platforms, learning games, and activities. This program allows educators to track growth and adjust instruction as needed. iReady is compatible on iPads running IOS 11 or above and desktop computers.
