Product Details

Overview
Supplemental Practice Collaborative Learning Grades K–12

Pear Practice is the Pear Deck Learning practice product formerly called Giant Steps. It is intended primarily for K–12 learners completing teacher-created or standards-aligned practice, with students, teachers, interventionists, and instructional coaches using it to support retrieval practice, feedback, differentiation, and collaborative class routines.

Teachers turn existing materials into practice sets, assign independent work, or facilitate collaborative whole-class practice and review results. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
