Adapted Mind Review

I have been using a program called adapted mind for about a month now. It is absolutely fantastic!

 
This program allows you to have students practice at their level, learn from videos, and track their progress.
 
 
It starts with creating a roster. Once you have done that it gives you their username and password. They can sign in and take a pretest that will track what they are ready to practice.
After their pretest is over, it sends the teacher their strengths and weaknesses based off of CC standards. The students then begin their lessons online. There are only fill in the blank answers to ensure that they cannot not guess correctly. If the student gets the question wrong, it shows them a video on how to successfully complete the problem.
 
Also, for every milestone they complete, they receive "badges" with animals and awards. The students love collecting these.
 
 
 
What about practice outside of the computer?
With every standard it has premade lessons and homework sheets.
The website also makes premade letters to parents so the students can practice at home and parents can monitor their progress as well.
 
 
 
At the end of the day, the website emails you exactly how many problems were completed, how many were correct, and an option to check the ones that are incorrect.
 
Overall, this website is teacher/student/parent friendly and actively engaging for students.
