Instructional Ideas

• Have the link bookmarked on classroom devices, invite learners to play the interactive when they complete tasks early
• Make the interactive a center during math rotations, encourage pupils to use their notes 
• Assign the link for homework to offer extra practice outside of school 

Classroom Considerations

• The tool is sensitive, remind pupils to move the snails slowly 
• Snails should be reset before each problem 

Pros

• The snails are color-coded
• Questions are straight forward 
• Feedback and helpful information is provided 

Cons

• The model does not appropriately apply to all questions
