What did they have to say?

I tested it out on my Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 students, and they LOVED it!

• “I like doing it this way because, it helps me to see how to set the different parts of the problem up.”
• “It helps me to see when I made a mistake, right when it happens, instead of finding out at the very end.”
• “When it turned red, it made me stop and think more about how to fix it.”
• “I understand my mistakes more once I figure out how to fix them.”
• “It made me want to keep trying until I see all green.”
• “I felt smarter once I finally figured it out”
• “I wish we did this more, it helps.”
