  1. Sean – RIVER VIEW LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Very good!

  2. Patrick – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course!

  3. Jim – CHARDON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    A lot of good ideas to help students to use the language of Algebra were given.

  4. Erin – DAYTON CITY (verified owner) –

    Interesting real-world connections. Nice detailed solutions with personal connections.

  5. Enos – ROYAL ISD (verified owner) –

    I like that the presenter provided real-life examples of algebra problems that students could be challenged to solve. However, it was not clear what the steps are to help the students make that transition. I was probably expecting some magic formula or secret to get students to be more deliberate in their thinking. So, although the examples were nice, it was not quite what I thought was going to be provided in this training.

  6. Kristy – COSHOCTON CITY (verified owner) –

    He offers fun algebra questions to get kids thinking about how to use variables.

  7. Jeannie – TIPP CITY EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner) –

    The instructor is easy to listen to and understand.

  8. JANET – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –

    I found the course interesting. He used real world situations as examples and used actual state test questions.

  9. Dean – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    It provided some fun examples to help students learn to think algebraically.

  10. Alison – FORT RECOVERY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I liked the applications of algebra in real life. I appreciate having engaging problems like these to help introduce new concepts.

  11. Jan – NEW BREMEN LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Helping in understanding what is practical thinking in algebra.

  12. Julie – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Thinking algebraically is a complex at times. Looking for ways to reach the learner at a young age allows for them to think using numbers as variables within an expression.

  13. Teri – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course!

  14. Jacob – Defiance City Schools (verified owner) –

    Awesome!

  15. Julie – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

    I’m not sure how I would use this with my 6th graders.

  16. Noel – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –

    There should be more instruction on how to get students to think algebraically instead of just showing problems and giving solutions.

  17. Feliciana – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    I would like to see him use more SAT questions. Love his strategies.

    He does a good job of explaining how to think through these problems logically, which is the best way to approach math.

  23. Kristy – ALVARADO ISD (verified owner) –

    This did not help me for my very young scholars, but I enjoyed the content and presentation.

  24. Sherry – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –

    A GT Presentation for secondary teachers/ students is refreshing. Nice reminder of some of the processes students struggle with in setting up basic application math problems

    Great strategies on how to teach students to think algebraically.

  26. Jesus – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    it was good

  27. Audrey – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    awesome

  28. Emily – Pilot (verified owner) –

    I would have watched this one before his 10 problems and strategies to solve before this one as I feel this is a better preview for that set.

  29. John – DAYTON CITY (verified owner) –

    I thought the course was informative.

  30. Robert – CHARDON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Interesting problems presented.

  31. Zondra – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought this course was going to give strategies on how to make students understand algebra better, but it just went through examples of algebra problems and real-life uses. I did find it interesting, however, but I was really looking for helpful tips on teaching algebra to struggling students.
