EducationTeaching Materials & Planning4HighTeacher$ implied

A 7th grade math teacher finds that existing digital tools (ILC, Progress Learning) fail to build fluency in integer operations, causing students to struggle with equations and inequalities.

Current tools feel like test prep rather than fluency building, and students disengage from them.
