Simply put, students do not get feedback so they never know what they did wrong or how to correct it.

It isn't flashy, but it is quick and highly effective practice. It takes a lot of paper, but it is worth it in my opinion. It would be challenging to implement in a school that severely limits printing or where teachers don't have easy access to printers. My actual math LESSONS are very hands on, but I like having this quick practice so that students can practice skills to a mastery level. This is the best method I have found for allowing students to practice skills like expanded notation, which some students pick up immediately and other students require repeated attempts with. There are some things that I would like to change (like rearranging certain skills to the order that I would prefer, instead of students receiving them in an order that is set by the program) but the people who run the company are very responsive to criticism and suggestions. The only reason I rated it a 3 for "Supports" is that it doesn't have any supports for different kinds of learners, which for this program might mean the option to print with fewer problems per page or a larger font for dysgraphic students. Simple tweaks like that would make a nice addition in the future, but it's still a great program without them. All in all, it works very well in my classroom and I highly recommend it!
