This is a powerful platform for math teaching, practice, learning, and peer and/or teacher tutoring. There is a fun competitive element that allows students to play against kids from around the world or simply those in their class. The site offers common core aligned activities such as flash card and word problem practice of math skills including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and negatives.

The level of teacher control is fabulous. You can assign critical thinking word problems, various practice skills, or create custom assignments by uploading worksheets from existing curriculum textbooks. Just set the answers and assign. It's easy. Students can even show their work by drawing/typing on the worksheet.

The type of problems you are able to select as a teacher is awesome - measurement, logic, money, geometry, time, etc. You can even add videos from the Khan Academy to teach concepts as homework in a flipped classroom approach. You can even assign homework by common core (CCSS) standards such as NBT Numbers and Operations in Base Ten. The student can draw on the whiteboard and type in the text box to show the teacher how they solved the problem - showing their work!

I very very impressed that the word problems could be read aloud to students in either English or Spanish!

Tutoring sessions can be anonymous and allow for basic messaging, offer a whiteboard to draw and explain answers and attachment capability for extra lessons. Tutoring can be completed in real-time and/or allows tutors to answer open questions at any time. They can even connect with friends/adults via FB to request tutoring or create study groups. The teacher can also select who can be tutors, and monitor the tutoring taking place to ensure quality.
