Wayground (formerly Quizizz)

Start from your learning target and let Wayground (formerly Quizizz) handle the heavy lifting. Search the library by skill, grade, or state code to pull ready-to-teach activities, then drag in your own PDFs, Slides, or Docs and convert them into interactive questions in minutes. Switch formats as needed—run it live for discussion, assign for homework, or set up stations for small groups. Pick from a wide range of item types like drag-and-drop, hotspots, check-all-that-apply, open response with rubric, audio prompts, and math-enabled questions. Add hints, exemplars, and success criteria, then schedule and share. If you use Google Classroom, sync rosters and return scores with a click.

Differentiation is built into every step. Create groups based on current performance or known needs and set supports once so they follow each learner across assignments. Choose from more than two dozen accommodations, including read-aloud, extra time, reduced choices, color contrast, dyslexia-friendly fonts, bilingual glossaries, and answer masking. Adjust reading level per student or group so the same concept appears at the right complexity for each learner. Control pacing and motivation with flexible settings—turn off timers, remove speed bonuses, or shuffle questions to keep the focus on accuracy and understanding.

During delivery, monitor progress from a live dashboard. See who is stuck, which misconceptions are trending, and how each question performs. Item, distractor, and standard tagging make it easy to spot gaps fast. Send instant feedback with explanations or exemplars, or pause the session for a quick mini-lesson. Afterward, export mastery reports for PLCs or conferences, filter by class or subgroup, and auto-create small-group practice tailored to the exact skills students missed. Keep a running record to show growth over time and celebrate milestones with students and families.

Use Wayground to streamline daily routines: launch a bell ringer that warms up prior knowledge, run a mid-lesson check to guide pacing, and close with an exit ticket that writes tomorrow’s plan for you. Convert a unit review into two versions to discourage answer sharing. Build project checkpoints with rubric-linked open responses. For multilingual learners, layer audio instructions and glossaries; for students with IEPs, document accommodations as they auto-apply. On stations days, assign three differentiated sets and watch each group work at the right challenge level. Need a backup plan? Print a clean version or generate an offline packet in seconds. With these workflows, you spend less time configuring tools and more time teaching.
