Instructional supports are weaved throughout adaptive and targeted math practice. When students get a question wrong, they will automatically be presented with a mix of guided practice examples (when available), hints, and/or videos. Students can also select the question mark to access a guided practice example, the light bulb to see the hint, or the video camera to see the video.

Guided Practice Examples

With Guided Practice, a worked example appears on the screen, and each step requires the student to engage by answering a quick question to get them to think about and comprehend each step of the strategy.

First, Freckle identifies that the student is struggling and offers a Guided Practice example:

An example math problem, with a message at the bottom: Whoops! That's not correct. Do you want to work on one together? The Try Again and Work Together buttons are on the right.

Guided Practice then engages students in a step-by-step example of how to solve a problem similar to the question they are struggling with:

Freckle Math currently includes Guided Practice coverage for 100% of K-5 Focus Skills across the US with continued expansion to additional skills, subjects, and grade levels in the upcoming school year.

Hints

Hints are available for all questions in K–8 Math and High School.

Videos

The type of video available varies by question, but include:

Conceptual Videos: These videos are targeted at the overall standard. They provide base knowledge about key elements within the standard.
Walk-Through Videos: These videos walk students through particular problems and model solution strategies.
Skill-Based Videos: These videos walk students through base knowledge and practice within the specific skill, and provide initial directions for solution.

Math videos will not be available for students whose assigned language is Spanish.

Academic Vocabulary

Students are able to select underlined academic vocabulary to view or hear a definition in guided questions and prompts.

The word perimeter is being hovered on; the definition and an audio button appear in a pop-up window.

Peer-to-Peer Math Supports

Students in all grades can see the name of up to 3 random students in their class that have already mastered the standard they're working on.

Language Customization

Students whose language is set to Spanish can toggle the language of both Adaptive Practice and Targeted Practice questions between Spanish and English.
