“Today, a student told me that no one has ever called him a
mathematician or told him that he rocked as much as this
year.”
“Moreover, he exuded excitement that he was "doing
something right" instead of getting in trouble.”
“I am so excited about this math buzz work. It has meant a
great deal to my first year teaching and classroom
management. I am using these tools daily all day and it really
works! “
“My kids love math now and I really do too!!”
