Testimonials
I used the PowerPoint presentations at
my school and our test scores improved
at a remarkable rate. We scored in the
top 5% of improvement schools. I feel
that a lot of the progress was as a
result of the presentations on
PowerPoint. It was easier to present
the material and it held the students'
attention. Keep up the great work!

I just have to tell you this real quick.
I was teaching lesson 10.5 (factoring
trinomials) to my honors kids yesterday. I
had looked over the powerpoint and was
excited to teach the lesson, because it was
presented in a way that I had never been
taught and little things clicked with me
that I had never realized before. So in the
middle of my presentation, this kid has one
of those "ah has" and says, "oh, I get it...
Mrs. Bloom, you're a good teacher, I just
thought I'd let you know that." Obviously,
he made my day, but the truth of the matter
is, you have made me such a better teacher.
Thanks! I had another girl from my regular
algebra class come in a couple of weeks ago
and tell me she had gone to
www.algebranotes.com to go over a
lesson. She was all bubbly and said, I just
love these lessons.

I have used your product for two years now
and it has helped tremendously in my
classroom. It has saved countless hours of
prep time for me. Also I can easily go
forward or backwards as necessary. Thank you
again for your product.
Jamie Spencer - Slauson Middle School
I went through the complete set of Algebra I
presentations last year, and I found them to
be a very engaging tool for the students.
They are professionally presented, and I
believe the students take the class more
seriously with the technologically advanced
method of teaching. Each lesson has thought
provoking concepts incorporated in them.
The graphics and details of each lesson
cover all the concepts necessary for full
understanding. The presentatins allow for
students to answer questions during each
slide. I ask them to give answers before I
click answers onto the screen. Students
feel a sense of accomplishment and
understanding when their answers appear on
the screen. Better class management is also
achieved. Students are quieter and more
"tuned in" during lecture. My state
testing scores were outstanding last year
thanks to Jim Wenk's Algebra I
presentations.
Carolyn Katsufrakis - West Middle School
Thanks for the help. I can't express how
wonderful this program is working for me. I
can now easily keep the 31 kids in my
algebra class fully engaged for the full
period. Their interest in the subject seems
to have increased also. The approximate
$1000 initial outlay (partly covered by the
PTA) is a tiny expense compared to the
savings of time, piece of mind, and
improvement in class interest. The
powerpoint has helped the students to take
notes that are meaningful. Thank You.
