---------------------Deb Boatwright: I always taught myself math.

---------------------Deb Boatwright: by teaching it I gained getter understanding.

---------------------Sue VanHattum: my students are poor. do you have a way of addressing theirconcerns?

students

[email protected]: Thanks David!

---------------------Deb Boatwright: Very detailed vetting



---------------------Moderator (Maria Droujkova): e.g. how many from "easy" to "hard"?

---------------------Tiffani: This site is great

[email protected]: Effectively the states are continuous, Maria - think "20"

---------------------Tom Perran: I will be sharing this with my Senior Teacher and math Coach tomorrow!

---------------------Tiffani: perfect for differentiating and meeting the needs of every learner

---------------------Moderator (Maria Droujkova): do the states come from graders/reviewers, orauthors?

---------------------Deb Boatwright: So we'd have to have a district license?

---------------------Moderator (Maria Droujkova): 20, wow...

[email protected]: From the (skilled) reviewers

---------------------SethLeavitt: Is it possible to have a 30 trial account for a school? I teach 1308th grade students and would be interested to see how they interact with thematerials but am prepared to purchase a school subscription.

---------------------

SethLeavitt: not prepared, I mean.

---------------------Deb Boatwright: Great question SethLeavitt

[email protected]: I'm sure we can set up a limited-time trial like that,SethLeavitt - we can connect you with the right Guaranteach person

---------------------SethLeavitt: Will you give us the information about who to contact later on inthis session?

---------------------davidweksler: I'm guessing the answer is yes, Seth

---------------------Wally: I'd like to join Seth's bandwagon since I teach Algebra 1 Inclusionclassrs/
