Okay but Not Great

The lessons are very focused on exploratory learning, not explicit learning with gradual release or modeling (I do, you do, y'all do, you do). The students are expected to jump in and do problems without the gradual instruction pattern. The materials the teachers have and what the students have on their books are not always the same, so it is hard for the students to follow along and the teachers to find what the students have in their books. The books don't have visuals, pictures, or models besides the base ten blocks. It is not interesting to the students and does not provide visual learning like other programs do. The students struggle to connect with the math and stay focused on the lesson. It doesn't encourage real-world application of math. There are very few word problems, so it doesn't prepare students for real life, or allow them to connect to the math. The problems and slides flow together without much structure or compartmentalization, so it is confusing for the students. Very little of the trainings from the i-Ready company I received as a teacher were helpful. They never modeled how the material should be taught. They did not lay out the material or lessons in a straight-forward way. In the program, there is a firehose of information and the teacher needs to sift through all the materials to find what is helpful to the instruction.

Iready took my my wallet and pained my students. It’s worse the among us battle pass.

Make Time On Task For Diagnostic! My students can't get their daily lessons done! It sucks!

Pretty much a scam

i say that i-ready is NOT a verry good site

It gives people the wrong grade percentage and overall sucks

It’s good but on some browsers it doesn’t work but it’s good for learning though all my students think it’s boring

We are writing this as a class. We believe that the time after you answer a question the explanation after you finish takes too long. We believe if you get the answer correct you should be able to bypass that long explanation of how we got it right. Other than that it is a good tool.

it sucks
