Flat Panel Interactives
A Flat Panel Interactive (previously known as a “Growth Suite”) is a new type of content used to teach, engage, and/or review a specific standard. It has up to 20 questions with answer options efficiently presented on one slide so the teacher can allow students to complete the activity on their own using student devices or clickers in an engaging setting.
You’ll see our library of Flat Panel Interactives grow quickly to cover the most-assessed core standards!
