What Educators Are Saying

We began using Ready Set Math for our summer school intervention and will be adding it to interventions during the upcoming school year. It's been going very well! The students love the activities and are excited to be able to use these materials again during the regular school year. The students are learning so fast! In four weeks they worked with Place Value and are now working on Multiplication Strategies to finish out the summer term.

Director of Instructional Leadership Wisconsin

I cannot say enough good things about the Ready Set Math modules. This year, I have seen an increase in student achievement based on our AVMR assessments. More teachers are actively engaged in small-group math to meet the needs of their learners. This is due, much in part, to their access to the Ready Set Math modules. We have received several emails from parents applauding our small group instruction and thanking us for providing what their children need.

Upon entering 4th grade, I made my child’s history regarding math and my concerns about it clear to the teacher and others who would be working with her on a regular basis. I was very happy to learn later on that she would finally be getting additional support (with Ready Set Math)! She was extremely nervous about math groups but didn't take long to get comfortable. Her confidence is being restored!
