Starter solutions, in detail
Each starter, fully drawn out: what it is, how you'd build it on our blocks, how you'd take it to a teacher, and the safeguarding bar it has to clear. Pick one as a starting point — or adapt it, or bring your own.
Tier 1 starters
Assembled on tools we've already shipped — mostly print-first, mostly no student data. The fastest, most supported on-ramp.
Sub Plan in a Box
Lowest load“Out sick? Your class still learns.”
A teacher picks a grade and a standard; the tool generates a complete, ready-to-print substitute packet — a worksheet, an answer key, and a one-page “what to do” sheet for the sub.
Explore →Tonight's Worksheet
Lowest load“Tomorrow's practice, generated in 30 seconds, printed by bedtime.”
Teacher picks the standard they just taught → gets a differentiated practice sheet at three levels (easy / on-level / challenge) plus an answer key, as a single PDF ready to print.
Explore →Re-Teach Tomorrow
Low–med load“They missed it today? Here's a fresh set for tomorrow.”
A teacher names the standard their class struggled with today; the tool generates a fresh remediation worksheet plus a 2-minute explainer on exactly that skill — as a slide deck, or optionally rendered to a short video for home viewing.
Explore →Standard → Slides
Lowest load“Type a standard, get a teachable deck.”
A teacher enters a Common Core code; out comes a classroom-ready, themed Marp deck — a hook, worked examples, and a check-for-understanding — that presents on a projector or prints as a handout.
Explore →Quiz + Key, Done
Lowest load“A fair quiz on exactly what you taught — with the key.”
A teacher selects the standards covered this week; the tool generates a quiz aligned to exactly those standards plus its answer key, ready to print.
Explore →Parent Practice Pack
Lowest load“Send practice home parents can actually run.”
A teacher picks a grade and a standard; the tool generates a home-practice packet plus a plain-language parent guide that explains, in everyday words, how to help with each problem type — a printout that goes home in a backpack, with nothing for the family to install.
Explore →Bell-Ringer-a-Day
Lowest load“Five minutes of warm-up, spiraled across the standards, all month.”
A teacher picks a grade; the tool generates a full month of daily warm-up problems that deliberately spiral back through earlier standards — delivered as one printable pack or a slide-a-day.
Explore →Animated Concept Coach
Lowest load“Pick a concept, watch it animate — live in class.”
A simple in-class tool: the teacher picks a concept and projects the matching animated virtual manipulative — base-10 regrouping, fraction bars, number lines, the unit circle, and more — then steps through it live in front of the class.
Explore →Tier 2 — net-new examples
Not assembled from blocks — their own apps to adopt and extend. More freedom, a heavier lift, and (for Gap Recovery) a real student-data bar. Two worked examples of what the next rung up looks like.
Math Demonstrator
Low–med load“Pick a concept, type the operation, watch it solved with virtual manipulatives.”
A web app that animates math operations with virtual manipulatives — choose Base-10 Blocks from the concept picker, type 27 + 15, and watch the blocks combine, then regroup ten ones into one ten. A pluggable platform: 23 demonstrators (base-10, fraction bars, number lines, the unit circle, and more) sit behind a shared playback engine, so one app covers many concepts.
Explore →Gap Recovery
High load“Spot a student's real gaps, then close them as a team.”
A multi-stakeholder web app built around gaps as the unit of work: a teacher or tutor sets up a per-student recovery plan, names the specific gaps in priority and dependency order, attaches instructional content and practice, and assigns it; the student completes and submits; the teacher grades or requests a redo; parents track progress; notifications and milestone checks keep everyone aligned.
