Standard: MA19.2.10-Fluently add and subtract within 100, using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
IXL: IXL App Link
IXL is a web-based site that also offers an app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It has math, reading, science, and social studies practice for grades PK-12. You can select practice by state standards, curriculum, or browse all skills. I love that if a child is struggling to master a specific skill, they can go to the previous grade and master it at an easier level. It allows them to fill in gaps they may have in learning. If you have an advanced student, they can be promoted to a higher grade level to master more challenging material. The price for at-home use ranges from $9.95 to $19.95 per month. I’m not sure of the cost if your school district uses it. I used CommonSense.org for all my third-party reviews because it is a non-profit organization that works to improve the digital world for kids and their families.
i-Ready Connect for Students: i-Ready App Link
i-Ready is a web-based platform that also offers an app, i-Ready Connect for Students, available on the Apple App Store; however, it is not available on the Google Play Store. It is also only available to students who use i-Ready in their school; it syncs with progress and assignments from the classroom. Each student has a customized path that addresses any learning gaps they may have. There is also a feature that allows educators to assign specific skills practice and assessments for math or reading. I used CommonSense.org for all my third-party reviews because it is a non-profit organization that works to improve the digital world for kids and their families.
Splash Learn: Splash Learn App Link
Splash Learn is a web-based site that also offers an app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It provides over 4,000 reading and math experiences for children aged 3 to 11 years old. It will customize lesson plans for your child and encourage mastery by offering rewards and engaging games. The cost for educators to use the web-based tool during school hours is free. For parents, the monthly price is $8 for math and $8 for reading, or you can get both for $12 per month. It also offers discounts if you pay annually, and you can get both for $90 per year. I used CommonSense.org for all my third-party reviews because it is a non-profit organization that works to improve the digital world for kids and their families.
Splash Learn:
Splash Learn is the ideal choice for both students and educators to enhance math instruction that aligns with both reading and math standards. This app doesn’t have to be used in the student’s classroom to be used at home, like i-Ready Student Connect. It is also slightly cheaper than using IXL. While IXL offers great skill practice, it lacks the interactive games and manipulatives that are available with Splash Learn.
Splash Learn provides interactive, game-based activities that engage students while reinforcing foundational concepts. It utilizes visual models, number lines, and manipulatives, offering personalized practice tailored to each student’s level. The price is also reasonable for parents who want to use it at home, but it is provided free of charge to educators for use during the instructional day. This allows educators to differentiate instruction effectively. The Splash Learn website enables teachers to track real-time progress and generate detailed reports, supporting data-driven lesson planning and helping them identify and address learning gaps. Since Splash Learn offers curriculum-aligned content and engaging digital tools, it is an excellent resource for fostering fluency and conceptual understanding in a way that is enjoyable for 2nd-grade students.
Anna, I use iReady and IXL for my eighth grade math students also. I did not know there was the possibility to use iReady as an application for Apple Devices; I will definitely be using this in my classroom in the future. It would be so much more helpful to my students to use the application instead of having to log in every time they work on their personalized pathway. I have never used Splash Learn it seems like it would be very helpful in data reflection and modeling mathematical concepts. I would like to see how this would work for my eighth graders.
