What Users Love About the App

“Math story problems engage kids in problem-solving as well as rich discussions.”

“Figure This! offers fun math-inquiry activities.”

“Each activity offers solutions and opportunities to extend learning. Resources are also available in Spanish.”

“A good teacher can make the scenarios interesting and even exciting, so using it as supplemental materials would work, especially since a large portion of the PDF files are available in Spanish also. Not as exciting as other websites, but definitely prepares students for items on standardized tests.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Responsiveness is limited to a single hint for all problems.”

“Figure This: Math Challenges for Families is text-based which means no interactivity, no sound, no multimedia (although PowerPoint presentation is included), and no feedback.”
