 In all my 23 years of teaching,
I have never come across any way to get the kids to want to learn their facts like they do using the Flashmaster.
...
I have 6 kids (4th graders) in my room who can, with ease, pass level 9 dividing, 1 second with 100% every time!
You should see their fingers fly! It's absolutely amazing. They want me to make a chart for just them, listing how many times they do that. They simply LOVE to use the Flashmaster. It's funny.
I have at least a dozen kids a day begging me to stay in for recess to use them. This is even on nice, beautiful, sunny days!!
…
Multiplication is MORE amazing, if possible. … Their fingers fly. It is actually fun to watch. … I remember last year my principal … came in the room and watched them. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
♦ ♦ ♦
Thank you! My students are fighting over the FlashMaster. They can’t wait for their turn.
It is helping them learn their multiplication tables and review addition & subtraction. It is a great tool!
♦ ♦ ♦
It is a great confidence builder for my students.
♦ ♦ ♦
great tool for keeping students busy productively when they get their work done ahead of the other students.
♦ ♦ ♦
The family of one of my students recently heard about your Flashmaster product. They purchased it sometime within the last two weeks and already
their child’s grade for multiplication facts has advanced 20 percentage points.
♦ ♦ ♦
One of my students brought her flashmaster to school yesterday and
the class was blown away by it!
♦ ♦ ♦
I rate it as a ten, and I
recommend it to everyone
♦ ♦ ♦
It’s great as a teaching tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
Our flashmasters are making a HUGE difference in our students' fact
fluency this year; the principal is making plans to purchase a
large quantity next year and we have a plan for facilitation in the
works. We love them!
♦ ♦ ♦
By the way, our entire 6th grade class has been using the
Flashmasters, and our basic skills scores have
improved tremendously. Thanks Again!!
♦ ♦ ♦
CHUCK, THESE FLASHMASTERS ARE GREAT!
EVERY 3RD 5TH GRADE CLASSROOM SHOULD HAVE A
CLASS SET, SO STUDENTS WILL KNOW THEIR
MATH FACTS BEFORE THEY REACH
MIDDLE SCHOOL.
♦ ♦ ♦
You have a great product
♦ ♦ ♦
My students used 2 of them today in class (for the
first time ever) to practice their
math facts (add., subtr., multi. and
div) and they loved them! It beats the heck
out of the standard drill and kill with flashcards. It’s a
calculator-looking device that lets students practice facts by table, or
mixed, timed or not ... it also records the missed problems and lets
students just practice those. It spices things up a bit and throws in
some technology.
♦ ♦ ♦
I found NOTHING
confusing!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I love it! They are wonderful! Best thing that I have ever purchased for
math! ... puts fun into drill
♦ ♦ ♦
First of all, WE LOVE OUR FLASHMASTERS! My 3rd
– 6th graders (remedial Math) beg to use them and their
focused concentration on learning their facts is like nothing I've seen
before. Well done!
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a terrific device, a wonderful and fun aid to one any age. It
fortifies the basic math facts so needed by today’s students. Thank you
for creating this exceptional tool!
♦ ♦ ♦
My students love this! They consider it a treat
to practice their facts with it. The common comment is “cool”.
♦ ♦ ♦
Students are quick to learn how to use
the program.
♦ ♦ ♦
I want to thank you for the Flashmaster. I am finding it very useful
with students who struggle with their facts.
The girls love using it and always want to play with it. … I am
very happy I have found an education tool (game) that my students love!
♦ ♦ ♦
The Flashmasters are a HUGE hit in our 3rd grade -- and as you know,
many girls now have them at home! [11/5/02 email from third-grade
teacher in girls’ school. Following are excerpts from 11/23/02 emails
from same teacher] We are continuing to LOVE the Flashmasters in our
class. Whenever the girls have a free minute
in Math, or even at recess, they pull out a Flashmaster to practice
their facts! ...With LOTS of practice, we have had 3 girls who were able
to complete 50 multiplication flashcards in 1 sec. each with 90% or
greater accuracy! Actually, I tried … myself and couldn't do it,
but what [the 3 girls] have found is that it's really about practice and
persistence. If they start at a slower time, they're usually able to
build up to 1 sec. after repeated practice.
They develop those "Flashmaster muscles" -- and then they're able
to repeat their scores numerous times!
[The next spring a fourth member of the class
matched the accomplishment of her just-mentioned three classmates.]
♦ ♦ ♦
Our Exceptional Children's Department loves the Flashmaster. …
The EC teachers say it is the best manipulative
that they have seen for math skills. Works great for students with fine
motor skills problems. The screen is large and numbers have easy
access.
♦ ♦ ♦
I was given a free Flashmaster & loaned it to a colleague who teaches
low level high school classes. She says 5 kids
were all actually fighting over it they loved it so much.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have used the FlashMaster both at school and at home with my children.
I have definitely seen results in both places. At school I teach Special
Education in a high school setting. These
students do not know their
math facts, and this has been a great
motivational tool for these students to use. They always ask when
it is their turn to use it. I have seen their skills improve. I would
love to have more of them in my classroom.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love it! The kids love it! Other teachers that I have shown this to
love it. The secretaries in the office want to buy for their children. …
I am thrilled. I will be going to a meeting of math teachers on
Sat and I'm taking my Flashmaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a wonderful tool that will help tremendously in my math
curriculum. I can monitor the students’
progress in learning their basic addition & subtraction facts in a more
challenged way! Thank you!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am a
big fan of your product.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am using the flashmaster with students that had had a very hard time
with
multiplication tables, and they are responding very well, I have
the specific case of a 3rd. grader that took 4 weeks to learn the 2's
and in 2 weeks with the flashmaster he has learned 3's. 4's, and 5's,!!
He is enthusiastic, and his self-esteem has
gone up tremendously.
♦ ♦ ♦
[T]hings are so well laid out.
♦ ♦ ♦
[I]t is the first choice of the kids when they
have free time.
♦ ♦ ♦
It was easy to figure out and use without the manual. The manual pointed
out ways to customize activities that are not intuitive (ex: different #
of problems for Flash Cards).
♦ ♦ ♦
The Flashmaster is a big hit in my classroom. … The kids like the
different levels, and they especially like
being able to see their scores. It gives them incentive to try again to
see if they can do better. A few of my honors students wanted to
try it as well, so I let them work level 9 with only a few seconds to
answer. They were challenged to complete it in time!
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a fabulous product! I have recommended it to all
of my parents. I have your website as a direct link from my homepage
....
♦ ♦ ♦
I am very excited about how your product is working in my classroom. The
students really enjoy working with it. I
have been using it in groups of three. Their
functioning levels do not matter because I adjust it to each
individual's functioning level, this allows all students to
participate in the activity. Working in groups of three encourages
friendly competition and motivates the students to do their best and
increase their skill levels. … I have encouraged the principal to
recommend purchasing them for the elementary grade classrooms.
I knew the principal was going to ask what the flashmaster did. I gave
him a demonstration and encouraged him to try it. He was
impressed.
♦ ♦ ♦
Knowing one's math facts well leads to doing well in algebra and so
forth. Not learning math facts leads to frustration later.
♦ ♦ ♦
I found NOTHING
confusing!!
♦ ♦ ♦
[I] like the large display [and] think
that the change of format is great
since most tests reflect this "missing number" format
♦ ♦ ♦
In my continuing efforts to effectively run each class (of 12 students)
in a way that targets each of their individual
needs your clever product should be a godsend.
♦ ♦ ♦
Wow!! Better than flashcards! Easy to learn—students can do
independently, keep track of progress. Great product.
♦ ♦ ♦
[Note: The public-school students mentioned in the following comments
were all in the same fourth-grade class and in March of 2004 were
promised a free FlashMaster if they demonstrated to their teacher—with
the help of the FlashMaster's "SEE RESULTS" key—that they had scored at
least 90% with a FlashMaster set for: the Timed Flashcards learning
activity, multiplication, Level 7, and a per-problem time limit of one
second.]
[Email of March 18:]
I just wanted to share our exciting news with you.
I have a fourth grade student who has worked
hard all year to master the timed flashcards function (Level 7).
Today she got a 90% accuracy score at 1.0
seconds! We are pretty excited!
[Email of March 19:]
I have another student that I expect to meet the same level of mastery.
She has been working since the beginning of the year and her improvement
has been tremendous. For her, especially, the FlashMaster has been a
great tool. It has never come easy to her, but
she is here during her recess everyday giving her all. She is working
at 1.6 seconds, Level 7 right now.
I took your challenge as well. It has been a tough task to train these
old fingers of mine to move fast enough to answer 1 second!
I can do it – sometimes! It makes me that much
more proud of my students!
[Email of March 26:]
The multiplication fury continues in my
classroom everyday at recess. The other student I mentioned to
you is trying her best to pass the 1.0 marker.
She passed 1.3 seconds earlier this week. I can't tell you what
an accomplishment this is for her. Thank you for giving her something
to work towards. She is a determined young lady. I'll keep you updated
on her progress.
I also have 4 other
fourth graders who are working towards this goal. I have a second grade
boy who is using the flashcards function to practice his
addition/subtraction facts.
Thanks again for your
wonderful product!
[Email of April 5:]
My students continue
to work very hard on their
multiplication facts. Today,
a young lady named … passed the 1.0 second Timed Flashcards with 93%
accuracy. … She is quite excited!
My other student is progressively getting better. Her highest score is
87%.
[Second email of April 5:]
In a short break after lunch, [name of girl]
also passed the 1.0 Timed Flashcards at 90% accuracy. I am very proud
of her effort; this has been a difficult task for her. She, too, is so
excited!
[Email of April 30:]
I have one more fourth grader who has given up his recess to practice
math facts. He just passed the Level 7, 1.0
second flashcards.
♦ ♦ ♦
I continue to have more and more successes with those mini-magic
machines. You should read my comments to parents, telling them of their
children's improvements that I can trace directly to the use of the
FlashMaster. They're still excited about them, and they still
have raging battles for supremacy – it's good to note, though, that the
competition that results from FM use is always good natured. It's quite
an interesting phenomenon.
♦ ♦ ♦
Several of our students had the opportunity to preview the Flashmaster
prior to our spring break. As you might have expected,
they showed an intuitive grasp of the device.
They were delighted with the ease with which they navigated through the
options. Of course, they elected to try out the FlashMaster with
the math problems that they had relative confidence in! I'm convinced
that the kids will show the confidence to use the Flashmaster to help
bolster their relatively weak
math facts!
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a superb product. You can't improve it (any way that I can
see). … I, for one, will spread the word. I
tutor learning disabled students—many with retrieval difficulties—FlashMaster
works.
♦ ♦ ♦
[t]he FlashMaster is very well made. Very
sturdy. The battery compartment has an attached Phillips head screw!!
Yea! Kids don't steal the batteries and I don't lose the screw.
Very well designed. Fits nicely into my hands. (small)
♦ ♦ ♦
Viewing results, missed
problems big plus. Really helped increase speed.
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a great teaching
tool!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I’ve had several of my students use the flashmaster. They love it. We
practice written + and – facts each day. The flashmaster is a wonderful
alternative. It can individualize, reteach &
enrich the math facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a wonderful tool that will help tremendously in my math
curriculum. I can monitor the students’
progress in learning their basic addition & subtraction facts in a more
challenged way! Thank you!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I really like how the battery plate is screwed in place & that the screw
doesn't come all the way out & get lost. Also the
"change problem format" is a great feature.
♦ ♦ ♦
[I]t is the first choice of the kids when they
have free time.
♦ ♦ ♦
It was easy to figure out and use without the manual. The manual pointed
out ways to customize activities that are not intuitive (ex: different #

♦ ♦ ♦
As a former teacher turned private tutor (and nonprofit director), I can
tell you with all sincerity that I think you've developed an
amazing product. My tutoring business
serves primarily individuals experiencing difficulty concentrating,
paying attention, and/or learning to read, but many of the activities in
our program incorporate using some of the basic math skills. I can think
of several of my former clients who would greatly benefit from using
Flashmaster, some of whom I will see after Spring Break for a few weeks
of "brush up." I would be delighted to let them try out my Flashmaster
and to direct them to your website. I also work with the school district
as a consultant to their English as a Second Language (ESL) Department
and know that the ESL teachers as well as countless classrooms would
benefit from having a Flashmaster or two in the room …. Additionally,
I LOVE the fact that you emphasize allowing
students to use their powers of deduction to figure out how the
Flashmaster works...there's just not enough of that going on in
classrooms in spite of the fact that kids are SO good at it.
♦ ♦ ♦
It's a great little product!
♦ ♦ ♦
WOW! I thought it was too good to be true!!! I received one of the math
devices and love it. What a great tool. This is perfect for my small
group instruction. It is exactly what I have been looking for.
You REALLY don't know what a difference this
will make in a child's life.
♦ ♦ ♦
[Y]our invention is super.
♦ ♦ ♦
We are a Title 1 campus. I have students [that] come to me for 50
minutes a day. These kiddos don't respond to
just anything, but when I put the Flashmaster in their hands, they came
alive. They were trying to beat each other's scores. One
Flashmaster just won't do. I must have more.
♦ ♦ ♦
…By the way, the students love the
flashmasters!
♦ ♦ ♦
The flashmasters have been a big hit with the
students who have used them in our Special Ed Learning Center … My
students have been really benefiting from it. It's funny, I have
some children who are really motivated by the challenge of the timed
tests, and others who clearly, cannot handle the time element. So the
options have been very important. Thanks for inventing this great little
learning tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am a New Zealander currently teaching for a semester at [a California
public] High School (where i have taught Mathematics on and off since
1976). Some of my very low level students have
told me they have never learned their multiplication and division facts,
and lo and behold i found that our department had just received a
shipment of 35 Flashmasters. I installed batteries and put them to
immediate use. The other math teachers and my students were hooked - now
everyone wants to use them.
♦ ♦ ♦
[W]e all are quite impressed. I think the
layout of the keypad and the choice of timed or not timed is pretty
cool. Plus, the instructions are very clear. I discovered your
product at … Country School, where I used to teach 4th grade. Now I
substitute and tutor. It is a terrific tool for my students...I love it.
I tell parents about it all the time!!
♦ ♦ ♦
[W]e love the FlashMasters ... kids, teachers, and parents. We have had
not one problem with any of them.
♦ ♦ ♦
Thank you, Chuck, for the amazing flashMaster. It truly is a
wonderful tool for special ed. math students.
♦ ♦ ♦
We have found it to be a very satisfactory
tool for establishing and polishing the math skills necessary for the
solid foundation of more advanced mathematics. ... We are able to
report on the successful integration of the FlashMaster into the math
curriculum of the school.
♦ ♦ ♦
I don't know if you specifically remember me.....a professor of teacher
ed.....moving to a new univ. in Illinois....and homeschooling three
daughters...grades 3, 5, and 7. The flashmaster has been an
overwhelming hit at home with the third
grader and the 7th grader. My 5th grader is into movement and does most
math in her head....But the other two have been on the flashmaster 3 to
4 times a week. What is great is the adaptability to each individual
level. My husband finishes instruction with one and then they go do
flashmaster independently at a specified level while he takes another
for instruction.....Versatility and
independence....those are the keys for making the flashmaster
successful.
♦ ♦ ♦
At home my youngest son was struggling with
his math facts, and so I would bring the Flashmaster home at night for
him to use. He loved it and saw his scores improve. He was disappointed
if I forgot to bring it home. He now knows his facts very well, but he
still uses the machine to practice.
I have really been impressed with the Flashmaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think the FlashMaster you sent was awesome.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think that the product is wonderful. I love
the large, crisp screen, the size/weight of the product, and the
practice variations that are possible.
♦ ♦ ♦
I can honestly say the Flashmaster really works. I haven't used it in my
classroom of 2nd graders yet, but am anxious to do so in the fall. Where
I have seen the results is with my own son. He just finished 3rd grade.
He was struggling with his
multiplication facts
until we brought the Flashmaster home from the conference. He started
using it, and loved it. His ability and scores went up immediately.
What's better is he pulled it out again the other day, after being out
of school for a month, and his scores were still high, and he was able
and wanting to brush up on the facts he was having difficulty with.
He recently took the Flashmaster to a family reunion and he and his
cousin (same age) were having contests with it. They look at the
Flashmaster as a new kind of game. It's great.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love it and will be ordering a set for my class this fall.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have encouraged staff to use with kids for
remedial purposes, including Special Ed. kids
♦ ♦ ♦
I'm pleased to say that virtually every child
that has used it has been interested, challenged, and happy with the
results. I've taken it home, where my two sons, eight and four
years old, have played with it. I did as you had suggested and simply
explored the features first, actually for quite some time. I then read
the information and found that I had discovered most of the features.
I used the same approach with students;
letting them explore, then checking in with them to see what they'd
figured out. I think that your device does just what you'd hoped: it
provides a simple, effective way for students to practice and learn
important math facts. My four-year old son is learning his
numbers and was able to work through the ones table (to his delight),
and continued to explore and play with the device for some time. I also
sent the FlashMaster home during spring break with one of my students in
the fifth grade that is experiencing some difficulty with
math facts.
It was such a success that I had trouble
getting it back! I've been recommending your device to other
teachers and feel that it would be a worthy investment for any
classroom.
♦ ♦ ♦
We think the FlashMaster is great and see a need to have more of them in
the school. It's portability is a major
advantage, and so is it's easy layout and attractive appearance.
♦ ♦ ♦
I used to work as a nanny for someone at … Publishers. They went to the
NCTM conference and saw your product. They loved it so much they bought
one for their children. They also showed it to me. I have since then
graduated and started teaching. I would love to have it in my class for
my third graders but due to budget cuts, my school can't afford them
right now. I just wanted to say I think the
Flashmaster is wonderful!
♦ ♦ ♦
Hi! I use the flashmaster with my small center groups during math time.
Three children work together taking turns and sometimes they work
cooperatively on the answers too. They enjoy doing their
math facts in a
new way and I like being able to check if they
were working the whole time. Thank you for this resource.
♦ ♦ ♦
Since I last wrote, I loaned the F.M. to a colleague to try w/ her 12
year old daughter who still has trouble w/ her facts. She challenged her
to do some no. of facts within some time. Annie wouldn't quit till she'd
done it and then went on to cut that time in half! My colleague
loves it …. [T]he power is in seeing it used
by kids, I think.
♦ ♦ ♦
L… passed the Flashmaster on to me to use with my students.
They loved it! I approached a few of my
students from the perspective that I didn't know how to work the
Flashmaster. They grabbed it and began trying to figure out its
workings. The rest of my students became interested and wanted to
participate. After one student figured out how to work the Flashmaster
it was passed to the next awaiting student. Once all students
knew how to work the Flashmaster, they argued as to who would be the
first official "user". I had them take turns with a partner towards the
end of the hour for a week. Once each student had used the Flashmaster
we discussed its use and how they would benefit from it. They were very
honest. They realized how weak their basic math skills were and how the
Flashmaster would help to improve them. One student even admitted that
she had memorized a few
multiplication facts in the few times she had
used the Flashmaster already! My students enjoyed working with the
Flashmaster with the limited amount of time we had left in the semester.
I will be incorporating it into my daily activities next year.
♦ ♦ ♦
I want to let you know that the Flashmaster is
wonderful. I have been talking to some elementary teachers about
it. They are very impressed. I will continue talking to them about it.
It works wonderful with students that have a
hard time with their basic multiplication facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have to tell you that the head of special ed in our school came by
last week to ask how she could order flashmasters. She is very excited
about using them for several reasons including
the ability to measure a child's progress.
I hope she orders many. We are a very small school but judging from 7th
graders, we need a lot of help with helping the kids learn their
math
facts.
I have been using them in class successfully. The kids compete against
each other. I have been thinking about having
them compete against me for fun. They are so quick with computer game
fingering that they may beat me which would be fun.
Keep up the good work!
♦ ♦ ♦
I have used the FlashMaster with a few students and
they love it. I'm hoping to be able to
share it with the entire staff at a staff meeting.
♦ ♦ ♦
I teach a 7th grade math class and there are several students in the
class that don't have their
math facts down yet and I thought the
Flashmaster could be very helpful for them.
My 20 students have all tried the Flashmaster. I asked them to see if it
was easy to use without reading directions and what they thought about
it. They wrote notes which I will transcribe for you. The overall
consensus was that it was "fun." Students have
asked to use it when they finish their homework - I thought that
was a good sign!
♦ ♦ ♦
This is an awesome tool for learning
math
facts, and you don't have to drill them!
I absolutely love it!
♦ ♦ ♦
This is a lot more fun for the kids than
flashcards.
♦ ♦ ♦
I must tell you about how excited I am to have
this in my hands! ... I teach small groups and our facts are our
primary focus with these students. I passed the one I received the other
day around to the kids and they were
mesmerized. They did not want to go back to their class.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think the device is great!!!!!!!!!!!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I gave a couple to the special ed department in our school and
they were a hit. I would like to get
them into more classrooms this coming year.
♦ ♦ ♦
So far, I've had a few kids use it and they
love it. I have a parent volunteer in the class and she thinks
it's great too. Good work.
♦ ♦ ♦
Thank you so much for the FlashMaster! It is
great.
♦ ♦ ♦
The Flashmasters are a great learning tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have sent the flashmaster home with several kids. I also gave one to
the second and third grade teachers. It has
been a hit with that age group! Many parents have stopped me to
say their child loves it! … I will
continue to encourage people to use it! My class is
still taking turns with it at home.
♦ ♦ ♦
Will remember to keep Flashmaster as a treat
for kids to look forward to.
♦ ♦ ♦
We think Flashmaster is GREAT.
♦ ♦ ♦
We have received the Flashmasters and with limited time so far, I'm
impressed with the look, the feel, the ease of operation. I'm
really looking forward to having the students assess them. Thanks again!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am the math resource teacher at … School in McLean, VA. The
Flashmasters have … been a big hit and
many parents are planning to order them for their homes
♦ ♦ ♦
I will continue to share your product with parents and other teachers in
the area. The children here love it!
♦ ♦ ♦
The kids really like them. [private tutor and elementary school
teacher at … School, NYC, NY, which specializes in children with
learning disabilities]
♦ ♦ ♦
This is good news. I have been demoing (is this a verb?) the
FlashMaster with our elementary principals (they were really excited) ….
♦ ♦ ♦
We placed the product in a 3rd Grade classroom as a means to determine
interest and applicability for our students. The response has been very
positive. … [My] congratulations on a great
invention.
♦ ♦ ♦
You should see the difference in my older kids' skills in just these few
days ... unbelievable. The younger ones are less voracious, but
still mesmerized by the machines. . … The kids have found tremendous
satisfaction … and they don't seem to be put off if they're low on the
performance scale. They just practice
harder. One of my formerly weak calculators is one of the fastest after
a few nights home with an FM.
♦ ♦ ♦
I found it to be user friendly
♦ ♦ ♦
My class enjoyed trying the Flashmaster and would
practice independently. I really didn't
track them, but know that they enjoyed the techno-practice.
♦ ♦ ♦
The flashmasters are wonderful--thank you so much. My 5th grade class
uses them as a center. Students who are struggling with their times
facts are using the flash card settings to study a particular time
table. Others use the flashmasters when they are done with their work.
The students love them. This year my class is
really moving forward rapidly with their xfacts--a big part of that is
the practice they get from the flashmaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think kids will really like
math facts
practice with the FlashMaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am a mentor teacher to about 30 middle school teachers. Most of the[m]
have problems with basic facts. I had the opportunity to see one from a
teacher that had attended the National Math Conference. No one in our
district has the Flashmaster, but the teachers who brought it are really
excited about it. I too really like it and would like to show it off.
I found the FlashMaster a very useful tool to help students practice
their math facts. It is easy to use. I like how you have the various
levels on the back for quick reference. I could see a teacher having
several of them for her students instead of using worksheets. … Parents
pay anywhere from $20-$69 for a math program for their computers. These
are usually in game format and kids love them. This, on the other hand,
is portable, and to the point. In my
experience, kids enjoy practicing their facts. They
would enjoy using this tool very much - far
better than doing a ditto!!! I will be demonstrating it to a
group of teachers who represent each of the 10 elementary schools in our
district.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love the Flash Master. As a matter of fact I am using it this
summer as I tutor. I have had several students and parents ask about
purchasing one.
…
Actually, I work with some underprivileged
children who I think I will give them to if it doesn't cost me too much.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have the Flashmaster, have played with it on my own, and found it
very easy to make friends with--and
this from someone who is still struggling with her cellphone!
Next step, bring it to the children!
♦ ♦ ♦
C … just dropped by our little school in Nfld. and gave me finishing
school today...my Primary kids will just love this.
This is my 25th year of teaching and I'm so
excited about your product!!! Way to go!!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am very happy with the FlashMasters. … I am using them in my class
and continuing to collect data for my article. Two years ago I
conducted an action research project on improving children's
mathematical abilities. I have data that I collected from that project
and I want to compare the progress of children who use the FlashMaster
in addition to the other teaching techniques I use.
I see a huge improvement in X., who scored a
4% on the SAT last April. That's about as low as you can get, since 50%
is average and the 4% was probably earned just by random chance
guessing. Already X. has passed Test 1 (a 2 minute test of 30 addition
facts with sums to 10). This may seem like a modest accomplishment, but
in September X. took 2 minutes to add 3 or 4 problems. X picks up a
FlashMaster every chance he gets. As soon as I collect more
compelling data, I will publish and compare the two classes. I have
also shown the FlashMaster around to my colleagues. I can share my
grant and encourage other teachers to apply for one for FlashMasters
next May.
I have told several of my parents about the
FlashMaster and have recommended it to the 7 older children (5th
graders) who meet in my room for FCAT Test camp after school with the
guidance counselor. … The fifth graders were entranced when I let them
use the FlashMasters until the guidance counselor arrived.
♦ ♦ ♦
This is what one of my students said about the FlashMaster: “It is
really cool. It has all kinds of problems (adding, dividing, etc.). It
was very easy to use, and I understood
it.”
♦ ♦ ♦
I have seen many uses for the FlashMaster. There is high interest among
my students. It is a great way to teach facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
The students think it's really cool, and one who owns a comparable
product already has asked her buddy to get her
a Flashmaster for her birthday...
In the classroom, they are still fighting over
possession.
♦ ♦ ♦
… I can't wait to get the FM into the hands of
my students. I heard about it last Saturday from a teacher-friend
on the east coast, and I immediately ordered one online. I quickly told
my principal about it and she, from my enthusiasm, was ready to order
one for herself for a trial period at least. The device arrived today
and after half an hour of "playing" I'm sold!
…
Dr. Mel Levine writes in his new book about
how important automaticity with arithmetic tables is for future success
in math. He suggests that parents need
to take the lead in getting their children to drill and practice,
with suggestions from school. With Mel Levine in mind I recommend to
students/parents that they: make tables & charts; practice skip counting
(counting by multiples); say the problem and answer aloud; write the
problem and answer on paper; use a calculator.
I think the FlashMaster is going to supercede all of these techniques in
terms of appeal to students and efficacy.
…
I wanted to know what the Pause button did (why it didn't work when I
pressed it) and went looking for an index at the back of the Guide and a
table of contents in the front. I found a picture of the FM instead with
all the buttons on the device page-referenced. Even better!
♦ ♦ ♦
I echo everything that the third grade teacher reports.
My students love to practice on the Flashmaster
in their free time and it is such an easy way for me to run my class.
Some kids on an activity and some on the Flashmaster and then they
switch.
♦ ♦ ♦
This seems great for grades 2-6 to practice &
reinforce basic facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I received your wonderful product
yesterday! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. I will pass on
business cards to interested parents. I can't wait to get my students
started with it.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love the FlashMaster and have encouraged other teachers & the parents
of students to buy it.
♦ ♦ ♦
I like FlashMaster because it doesn't waste a
lot of time on "entertainment" yet keeps students' attention because it
is challenging. I keep a chart for students to record their
progress.
♦ ♦ ♦
Flashmaster is an excellent math learning tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
It’s a fantastic machine
….
♦ ♦ ♦
I enjoyed using it
myself!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I will spread the word. I’m a big fan. And
amazingly (to me), the kids love them too.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think this is a great tool!
The results key will be very helpful
….
♦ ♦ ♦
The FlashMaster is great!
♦ ♦ ♦
A great product
♦ ♦ ♦
It's great!!! I only recently began using it with
the students receiving academic intervention
services. The few students who have tried it thoroughly enjoyed
it. The most difficult part was getting them
to put it down! I've recommended it to both colleagues and
friends.
♦ ♦ ♦
The FlashMaster is a useful tool.
It has produced results on some of the most
difficult students that I've known in my 2+ years at [national tutoring
franchise]. The "Timed Practice" feature is especially useful;
it repeats the problems that the student got wrong, pounding it in until
they get it. Most students prefer using it instead of other mediums,
and it saves on pens/pencils and paper.
♦ ♦ ♦
… the students are
enjoying it.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am letting the math
developer use it right now and she
LOVES it!!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I have now let two separate students take the unit home for the weekend
and their parents have shown interest in purchasing them.
I especially like the feature that changes
where the question mark is located.
♦ ♦ ♦
The students really like the FlashMaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
We just started to use
the flashmaster. A teacher in kindergarten wanted to try it out.
She has a child that is ready for first grade,
he is using it and loving it. I wish I had another one, another
teacher wants to try it out with her after school program.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love the FlashMaster.
I am going to train my aide to use it when she tutors students who are
still having trouble learning their
multiplication tables. When I first
got it in the mail I played with it for at least a hour.
It was a lot of fun and definitely kept my
attention.
♦ ♦ ♦
Hey, I received the flashmaster today, Thursday. That was quick.
I love this thing and am anxious to take
it home to my ten year old grandson.
♦ ♦ ♦
When I have the ELL students in my math class, the flashmasters have
proven to be quite effective. Because of this effectiveness, the
ELL teacher would like to get some for tutoring purposes.
♦ ♦ ♦
We are so happy with
the flashmasters we have that we are looking for additional funds to
purchase more. Even the kindergarten teachers
are demanding them.
♦ ♦ ♦
The students are enjoying the flashmasters.
♦ ♦ ♦
The Flashmasters are great! …
We used them at the beginning of the school year and the kids
loved them. Many are proficient, so now I have them going home for a
week or so at a time with individuals.
♦ ♦ ♦
My 8 year old was having confidence problems with
subtraction. I brought this home from the NCTM conference and he
would choose Flashmaster over Gameboy at times
because he liked it so much.
♦ ♦ ♦
BTW, I love the flashmaster. I am a parent
volunteer math teacher in our school and these devices are wonderful –
extremely helpful when children are at
different levels. Thanks!!
This is a great tool for
the classroom.
♦ ♦ ♦
It works great!
♦ ♦ ♦
My kids love the FlashMaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
I've had my teachers all demo the unit you provided. They think it's
terrific … I do think it's a great idea. I've used it with some kids 2nd
– 4th who are sent to the Principal's office for discipline.
I just tossed it down in front of them and told
them to figure it out. Great results!
♦ ♦ ♦
It is great!!
♦ ♦ ♦
Flashmaster is an excellent math learning tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
All of the teachers that have looked at it and tried it out think it's
great! We can see the students really using it and will be
recommending it our parents.
♦ ♦ ♦
[I]t is great! The kids took to it very
quickly and easily...I think it is because it is very similar to
a "video game"....
♦ ♦ ♦
I have been volunteering four days a week in a program [in La Yerbabuena,
Mexico] that provides an opportunity to keep some poor kids off the
street after they finish school ….
The conception is good, but there is only one
poorly paid staff who must deal with 8 to 16 very wild kids. …
They are really terrible in math preparation, with
about three exceptions, three kids who are really quite good. The rest
know little and could care less. Of about 5 fourth graders, only one
knows their times tables. The rest get stuck on 3 x’s anything.
Actually they understand about multiplying and dividing (the older
ones), but most still have serious problems with addition. …
My math program consisted of a bunch of addition
and multiplication flash cards. I would try and find their appropriate
level and start working one on one. I kept track of their progress.
One day one of the nuns gave me a whole sack of candy that some kind
soul had left for the kids, so I began to use this as a prize every time
they could move to a new level. This was working pretty well, but only
about a quarter of the kids were interested in sitting down with me and
doing some real brain work.
With the Flashmaster I
have now increased the number of kids seriously working on their math to
about 60%. These are kids who are at least once a week trying to
move to a new level. About 10% work every day. They may do a new level
every day. As I said it is all individually done. I have fourth
graders doing 4+ and one first grader who has done all the +’s and is
now doing subtraction, and make good progress with her
times tables.
Obviously, I am very hot
for the Flashmaster. It has definitely given my math program a shoot in
the arm. I like the flexibility and different levels. One size (one
Flashmaster) fits all. The kids like the fact that it is in the form of
a computer game. They like the game and challenge part. They … know
how to set the thing they are working on. I followed the directions and
in the beginning sessions just let them play with it and discover. You
might be interested to know that the fact all the instructions are in
English seems completely irrelevant. They have no problem understanding
when errors are made or changing functions, etc. Two of my most
outstanding students wouldn’t even work with me before Flashmaster.
They both like to take it off by themselves. Both are very dedicated
and are moving ahead rapidly. The machine so far seems pretty
indestructible.
♦ ♦ ♦
[W]hen I used one in my classroom I couldn't
believe how well it held the students attention.
I have many students who have attention
problems and this really seemed to do the trick.
I'm only speculating, but I think it may be that it is very interactive
much like the video games they play.
♦ ♦ ♦
I was at a colleague’s home the other day … when she stepped out to get
the mail. She walked back in the door very excited and saying, "it's
here, it's here!" She proceeded to open the package and it was a
Flashmaster. She did not say anything other than here play with this
for a bit. I did, WOW! I really enjoyed the
fast pace and the different ways that the problems are presented. I
also like the way that it reviews the results, so that students can
chart their scores and know if they are doing better than the time
before.
♦ ♦ ♦
I received my flashmaster today. Thanks! It's
great.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think you've created a great tool for kids
♦ ♦ ♦
[I]t will be a neat supplement to our
curriculum.
♦ ♦ ♦
Cristina and Victor … are ecstatic over the flashmaster. … I have been
trying since early September to get them to learn the
multiplication
tables. It's not that they can't learn, it's
just that it's a tiresome process that they find ways not to go through.
But they are fighting over flashmaster. Yesterday Victor did
table 5 at 100 percent on the second try. … Victor (11) and Christina
(9) are among the five children I am teaching in La Yerbabuena [Mexico].
..
[My husband] and I have known for some time that
the failure of Mexican schoolchildren to learn the mult. tables is a
genuine handicap as they move up in math. The schools do not emphasize
this enough, for with the numbers they must handle, they don't find the
time. Children who, like Victor and Cristina, who have an illiterate
mother and semi-literate father, are especially handicapped, for they
are unlikely to be drilled at home on the tables.
♦ ♦ ♦
I received my Flashmaster today and the kids think it is great!!!
They all want to play and explore what they can
do with it. Thanks so much for sending us one. I am trying to
find funds for more as all the kids want one!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I'm the math specialist at … Elementary …. My principal is willing to
approve a P.O. for 24 more FlashMasters! … We
love them and are telling all our friends!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am really excited about your product
and hope to be ordering more soon, whether it is just for my program or
for the entire school!
♦ ♦ ♦
The kids love it.
♦ ♦ ♦
Our SE department says wonderful things about it.
♦ ♦ ♦
It works great! Over the past months, I have used software programs and
flash cards and the Flashmaster is not only
easy for the kids to use themselves, they also find it to be find
without having to sit down at the computer all the time.
♦ ♦ ♦
great alternative to flash cards!
♦ ♦ ♦
We use these in my classroom. They are
awesome!
♦ ♦ ♦
The students in the learning center love the flashmaster.
♦ ♦ ♦
My kids have already shown substantial gains in their calculating skills
in just the short class time they have had to use them.
One student has jumped, in adding, from 46% to
100% (nearly 100% of the time) at 90 sec...Level 7! I have done
everything known to man to activate him...NADA. Along comes the
FlashMaster and he's an overnight sensation! … The FM is a part
of our lives now. I am delighted, and I hope my cohort[s] will
recognize how vigorously they can animate the desire to "do math" by
using the Flashmasters.
♦ ♦ ♦
[O]ur Special Ed teacher is really liking the unit.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have had a student test it for me. I just
handed it to her without any instructions after she told me she was
having difficulty in math. She is in third grade.
After three weeks, her mother told me that it
is fantastic. Her progress in
math facts has been phenomenal.
♦ ♦ ♦
I just received the FlashMaster and love it. I work at 2 schools
and have teachers at both schools.
The students really enjoy it, and are motivated by seeing their scores.
♦ ♦ ♦
Let me say, you have a wonderful product here, and hope that you do
extremely well. I was very impressed with how quickly you shipped the
first 12 out to me, and my students LOVE them. I was showing the
Flashmaster to teachers in our staff lounge, explained and showed how it
tracks the last 9 activities. Anyhooo, to make a long story short, a
few of these teachers today were talking about how their kids were
really enjoying tracking their progress on math things and
I reminded these colleagues that the FlashMaster holds the last 9
activities' results. They were stunned, and wanted to see the machine
again.
♦ ♦ ♦
highly engaging
♦ ♦ ♦
This is what one of my students said about
the FlashMaster. “It is really cool. It has all kinds of problems
(adding, dividing, etc.) It was very easy to use and I understood it.”
I have seen many uses for the FlashMaster. There is high interest among
my students. It is
a great way to teach facts.
♦
♦ ♦
Love the flashmaster.
Students and grandkids love it.
♦
♦ ♦
This is simply a great
product. My children, ages 9 and 7.5,
see it as a "math gameboy"
-- thus they both want to use it. I like that they can do it on their
own and show me the results of their efforts. The independence gained
for both of us is grand!
In addition to my
endorsement with my clients, you have their endorsement with their
friends and homeschool pals. Additionally, they think you
should require parents to get one per child.
♦
♦ ♦
I thank you so
much. It has just been a wonderful experience using them…. And it
always has everybody's interest from the lowest student in the bunch
to the A student who wants to get faster and faster on them. So it's
just incredible. And everything that it
says on your website from people is absolutely the truth. The kids just
love them.
Somebody at the end of
the year sent me a whole pile of old math things that they had put a lot
time in since the beginning of their career … all sorts of old flash
cards and old games and things like that and I looked at them and I
realized that it was a lot of somebody's effort but I just ditched them
all because I have the FlashMaster and nowadays the kids are just
enthralled with it and there's no reason
to go to anything else
♦
♦ ♦
THESE FLASHMASTERS ARE
GREAT
♦
♦ ♦
The fourth grade has received a fantastic gift from P.T.O. funds!!
Together with the fifth grade, we requested Flashmaster units.
Flashmasters are hand held math games that improve math fact
efficiency. We will be able to use them for timed tests, practice and
just plain FUN!! Thank you so much to our wonderful PTO for this gift
that will benefit all of our students. …
The students really enjoy using them and they improve their math skills.
♦
♦ ♦
My
[second grade]
students in 2003-4 ranged from low to average in math abilities. Eleven
of the 16 children who took the SAT-9 in first grade scored below 40%.
The average score for the class was 32%.
The students used the FlashMasters enthusiastically throughout the day as they completed assignments and during center times. Did the FlashMasters improve their mathematical abilities?
The scores for the 16 students rose from 517 to 751 and climbed to an average of 47%, an increase of fifteen percentage points.
♦ ♦ ♦
We (the teachers &
students) are loving these incredible
machines!
♦ ♦ ♦
I just wanted to send you an email … to inform you
of the great success we're having here at N.
Middle School with the Flashmaster (using it in a structured way M-W-F)
… some of our parents want to buy them to have them permanently at home.
♦ ♦ ♦
The
kids love it … I forwarded the website
yesterday to all of the parents. … Great tool. … flashmaster is a great
product
♦ ♦ ♦
I wish I had documented all the skills increases I
observed this summer. In a two week half-day "Power Prep", kids, going
into 3rd and 4th, had solid leaps in their grasp and retention of basic
math facts. I want them to jump from FlashMaster to
mental-math-in-a-hurry, and many of them were astonishing. When I
combined the FlashMaster with fact family triangles, the light bulbs
went on almost audibly. They feel so smart about learning one fact and
getting the other three as a bonus! I can't
tell you how grateful I am for your machine!
♦ ♦ ♦
My
children are really enjoying it.
It is an excellent tool to use in math.
♦ ♦ ♦
The kids are getting great
practice!
♦ ♦ ♦
Just tell them when a
student I had (grade 5) who failed a year and was 3 years behind in
reading and math facts, started using the Flashmaster,
it built up his confidence and self-esteem to
the point that he could be taught reading and math. Before that, he had
had absolutely no confidence to anything in class.
♦ ♦ ♦
I was tutoring a student this summer and told her
mom she needed to really work on math facts. Yesterday she brought in
the flashmaster to show me—what an awesome
toll!!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am an itinerant teacher, traveling between
several schools. I purchased 6 Flashmasters from you last year, and I
am happily using them again this year. … I work in the … Public Schools;
I've recommended the Flashmaster to MANY TEACHERS, and they have also
purchased several for their schools. I haven't seen anything like them—our
students just love to hone their skills with the Flashmaster!
♦ ♦ ♦
My school has a classroom set of FlashMasters that
we use with these kids to practice fact power. … We have found that it
truly helps students master their facts.
It … appeals to the kids who like gameboys. I like that it can be used
with early 2nd graders learning easy addition facts and also
with fifth graders doing division. It is a great tool!
♦ ♦ ♦
I can't tell you how nice
it is to have a whole classroom set!
♦ ♦ ♦
[T]he students LOVE
them. It makes practicing their facts
fun!
♦ ♦ ♦
We have our students
practice 3 minutes every night (except weekends) (addition and
subtraction only, for now) and record their results.
You can actually watch the improvement by
reviewing their record sheets.
♦ ♦ ♦
[A]ll of the teachers who
commented on it after having time to "play" with it were enthusiastic.
I agree. The more I use it, the more excited I am. I've recommended it
to friends …. I am happy that I have the opportunity to share this tool
with others. When my grandson gets a little older,
guess what will be under the Christmas tree!!
Many thanks
♦ ♦ ♦
Wow! What a fantastic
math game! A teacher friend introduced me to FlashMaster and
what a wonderful tool for students to use in the classroom/home learning
their math facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am so happy to have received the FLASHMASTER so
quickly. I purchased this for my daughter who is a struggling learner.
It was recommended to us by her speech therapist …. I have begun to use
this just the way you said. I am playing with it and my daughter is
playing with it and I will have students play with it before we read the
directions. As a teacher, this suggestion made me realize that you are
a person who "gets it" when it comes to learning.
If they discover it, they own it. I am
very pleased with this too. As a Title I Mathematics teacher, I see
tremendous possibilities for a reasonably priced quality piece of
technology.
♦ ♦ ♦
We are really loving these. I have set up a system
and we will be using flashmasters in all grades
with all students each and every day in grades 1 through 6 by
Christmas. Right now we have the program going with all 3rd
and 4th. Everyone loves it—especially students. Thanks so
much for your genius!
♦ ♦ ♦
I am a resource math teacher …. My 7th
graders came to me with huge gaps in their ability to recall math facts.
… My students absolutely adore the little
contraption!!!! They are willingly learning their math facts. This has
been such an encouragement to us all.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am an Educational
Psychologist in private practice who … suggests your product to my
students.
♦ ♦ ♦
My [6th grade]
kids are having a blast with it!
♦ ♦ ♦
I work with a student who just received a
flashmaster as a present and it's a wonderful
tool.
♦ ♦ ♦
We are enjoying our flashmasters very much.
Students that struggle with the basics love it
and so do the "whiz kids" that can challenge themselves by decreasing
the time and increasing level of difficulty.
♦ ♦ ♦
I … shared it with my students. They loved it.
You'd be amazed how many high school students
don't know basic facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have used these with third grade special ed
students and found them to be the most
successful tool in helping them master their multiplication facts,
zeros through twelves. The FlashMaster provides the repetition and
individualized format that my students needed to help them learn and
retain so many facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am spreading the word to fellow
teachers/administrators in favor of their use. …
P.S. Test results are
impressive.
♦ ♦ ♦
I received my flashmaster two weeks ago! I have
been quite pleased with it, as have the children in my classroom.
I recommended this product to each of their
parents at conference time last week and I know that several of
them have already ordered one for their child.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have also recommended it to numerous parents of
the Tutorial Programme that I administer on Saturdays. …
I think this is an exceptional teaching
assistant and the children love it.
♦ ♦ ♦
It is an AWESOME learning
device
♦ ♦ ♦
I ordered the first set of flashmasters in this
county from you back in June, when I purchased 30 for $1,000 even.
Since then, we have experienced GREAT success
and I have inserviced math teachers throughout the county on four
occasions ….
♦ ♦ ♦
[My principal] has been
extremely pleased with the progress we're seeing in some of our "lowest"
achieving incoming sixth graders - and
students enjoy working on them several times a week for homework!
♦ ♦ ♦
My class is multi-handicapped—small
increments are wonderful—no other machine I know of has that
♦ ♦ ♦
This is an amazing product.
♦ ♦ ♦
It is awesome—I
can't believe how the kids love working with it and they fight over who
gets to use it next.
♦ ♦ ♦
I love your machine.
♦ ♦ ♦
I am currently using
the Flash Masters we have at Landmark College with a class of
adult students. They LOVE it. The
Flash Master is versatile enough to challenge all students in this
class, from those who are extremely unsure of many of the facts to those
whose math anxiety leads to many careless errors. One student is just
very slow with great comprehension, but that student is already seeing
the benefit of the timed practices in speeding up fact recognition.
♦ ♦ ♦
I just received the
FlashMaster. I’m very impressed with delivery. Great job! My best friend
is a middle school math teacher and I took it to her class so we could
“play” on it together. How fun.
The 7th graders in her class would not stay in their seats.
They wanted to play with us.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have used your Flashmaster with some of my
students and you asked for feedback. I love
what it does!!
♦ ♦ ♦
A parent in my class recently purchased a
FlashMaster for her child …. I have seen the
child become increasingly motivated to learn her facts. Your product
has made it a fun challenge ….
♦ ♦ ♦
One of my students … had been having difficulty
learning his multiplication facts, and I suggested to his mother that he
try a computer program. Apparently, they
bought a Flashmaster and in no time he knew his facts.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have good news! The third graders at our school
have been using FlashMasters every morning. I
have two students … who have passed Level 7 multiplication at 1 second.
I am so excited because these are third graders!
♦ ♦ ♦
Great product.
♦ ♦ ♦
I have tried the Flashmaster—along with some of my
students—and found it be useful and fun! Many
quiet educational moments in class have been provided by what my
students call the "math computer". … Thank you!
♦ ♦ ♦
Fabulous tool!!
♦ ♦ ♦
The flashmaster has really
motivated the kids in my building, and
I am so glad to have them working on them.
♦ ♦ ♦
the results have continued to be joyful. One to
share ---- Yesterday, I was in the hall when one of my former students,
a first grader, stopped me on the spot, dug down deep in her bulto (now
on the floor), and ceremoniously handed me a Flash Master I had loaned
her just before Christmas. Miss Intensity, very self assured, then
said, "Thank you very much. Mamí is going to buy one. It is a real
help. I am now VERY good at math!"
With that, she sped off to class. What a moment! She
was so proud she shone...........
N.B. This child's older brother was FM's first
huge success story last year! He's the youngster who made a quantum
leap in less than one month.
♦ ♦ ♦
Yesterday, [a
public-school] teacher told me that this is the
first year in 17 years of teaching that every third grader in her class
will pass all their flashcards for all the times tables. Usually
she said she'll have a handful that finish, the majority get to their 7s
and 8s, and a few will not get past the 3s. She is delighted this year
to have everyone so close to finishing. She credits the flashmaster for
helping this class show such mastery.
Good testimony for
your product!
♦ ♦ ♦
I think it's a great
product.
♦ ♦ ♦
We love your
product.
♦ ♦ ♦
We are loving it!
♦ ♦ ♦
Thanks again for your support as we attempt to
improve the academic success of inner city youth. The children really
enjoy working with the Flashmaster and we can see improvement in the
student performance on the memorization of their facts. I will continue
to inform other schools of the Flashmaster because I truly believe it
makes a difference and motivates students.
♦ ♦ ♦
I think the Flashmaster is
great
♦ ♦ ♦
I really have not had a
student "out-grow" the flashmaster. [Name of third grader], who
mastered the one second challenge earlier this year, is now working on
levels 8 and 9 at one second and is also working on division.
♦ ♦ ♦
Your flashmasters have really made a tremendous
difference in our students' abilities in math. They LOVE it!
I have several 4th graders who have completed
1.6 seconds and are trying for the 1.3 seconds.
♦ ♦ ♦
Chuck, thank you for
your support for our students here at [W]. It really has made a
difference in their lives -- as they are gaining
confidence in math every day! That translates to their choices
of higher level math classes in Jr. and Sr. High School. THAT
translates to career opportunities that would not have been available to
them without the math confidence.

Hi! I just want you
to know |
