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!

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.
Jamie Spencer - Slauson Middle School
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 presentatins 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.
Carolyn Katsufrakis - West Middle School
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.
