You can assign specific TEKS to be covered on certain days or just let the program spiral material based upon the assigned grade level. Chromebooks can link to the website through an app from the web store and Ipads have a downloadable app from the Itunes store.

Thatquiz is a great tool that I have used many times for self-grading practice. I generally select 10 problems, then if they score well, they can move on to another activity. If they are struggling, then I would reteach and then have them try a new set of 10. This is a great way to quickly allow students who have mastered the concept to move on to extension activities while quickly discovering who needs remediation. The video shows a high school level situation, but Thatquiz actually begins with basic single digit addition, so it is appropriate for all grade levels.
Math Pickle is a great tool for finding extentsion activities. Sorted by grade level, you can easily find activities for your classroom.
Hooda Math is a collection of online games that is sorted by grade and category. The students can go online and play on their own or you can create a class and organize a set of games that you want them to work with. When you set up your own class, you will be given a class code that the students will use to "unlock" the activities you have selected for them. I do recommend this so you can filter through which games your students will need.
