We use Pearson Realize every Tuesday and Friday during our "math reteach" time and with every Topic test. Students access quick check quizzes. Each lesson of every topic has a 5 question quiz that looks similar to their topic tests. It is a great way to get comfortable with the format of their online topic tests and for me to monitor their progress. It helps me know what concepts I need to touch on with more depth. We also use this website everyday as a whole class during our math lessons with interactive lesson videos, guided practice, and independent practice.
