What educators are saying

This was very engaging for my students! It was challenging, but not too hard that they gave up. A lot of my students who usually struggle in math were able to really understand the concept with this puzzle, so thank you so much!
Students had a great time, we used it as review to close out our unit, there are many skills they would not have been prepared to use if we had used it at the start of studying the theorem.
