Testimonials
I used the PowerPoint presentations at my school and our test scores
improved at a remarkable rate. We scored in the top 5% of improvement
schools. I feel that a lot of the progress was as a result of the
presentations on PowerPoint. It was easier to present the material and it held
the students' attention. Keep up the great work!
Al Carter - Algebra teacher at McFarland Unified 
I just have to tell you this real
quick. I was teaching lesson 10.5
(factoring trinomials) to my honors
kids yesterday. I had looked over the
powerpoint and was excited to teach the
lesson, because it was presented in a
way that I had never been taught and
little things clicked with me that I had
never realized before. So in the middle
of my presentation, this kid has one of
those "ah has" and says, "oh, I get
it... Mrs. Bloom, you're a good teacher,
I just thought I'd let you know that."
Obviously, he made my day, but the truth
of the matter is, you have made me such
a better teacher. Thanks! I had another
girl from my regular algebra class come
in a couple of weeks ago and tell me she
had gone to
www.algebranotes.com to go over a
lesson. She was all bubbly and said, I
just love these lessons.

I have used your product for two years
now and it has helped tremendously in my
classroom. It has saved countless hours
of prep time for me. Also I can easily
go forward or backwards as necessary.
Thank you again for your product.

I went through the complete set of
Algebra I presentations last year, and I
found them to be a very engaging tool
for the students. They are
professionally presented, and I believe
the students take the class more
seriously with the technologically
advanced method of teaching. Each
lesson has thought provoking concepts
incorporated in them. The graphics and
details of each lesson cover all the
concepts necessary for full
understanding. The presentations allow
for students to answer questions during
each slide. I ask them to give answers
before I click answers onto the screen.
Students feel a sense of accomplishment
and understanding when their answers
appear on the screen. Better class
management is also achieved. Students
are quieter and more "tuned in" during
lecture. My state testing scores were
outstanding last year thanks to Jim
Wenk's Algebra I presentations.

Thanks for the help. I can't express
how wonderful this program is working
for me. I can now easily keep the 31
kids in my algebra class fully engaged
for the full period. Their interest in
the subject seems to have increased
also. The approximate $1000 initial
outlay (partly covered by the PTA) is a
tiny expense compared to the savings of
time, piece of mind, and improvement in
class interest. The powerpoint has
helped the students to take notes that
are meaningful. Thank You.
