A failure to find mathematics challenging, interesting, or relevant are significant factors when students lose interest in mathematics.

  1. JoLynn – NEDERLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    It was a great course for higher education. Teaching kindergarten doesn’t make this training as beneficial to me as somebody teaching the higher grades 3-12th.

  2. Tony – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

    Made me think. I enjoyed the challenge questions.

  3. Maureen – OLENTANGY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This course shows interesting problems and offers insight to mathematical errors.

  4. Coleman – GRANBURY ISD (verified owner) –

  5. Samantha – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    amazing

  6. Alex – DAYTON CITY (verified owner) –

    I thought it was a good course

  7. Kathy – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –

    This course is more geared for high school math teachers. It didn’t offer many suggestions for elementary. Good examples for the older students to relate to but not so much for the young elementary ages.
    It was a good pace and easy to follow.
