Everybody's Talking About Gizmos

“The instructor was informative and applied Gizmos to the subjects I teach Alg 2 and Geometry using the mathematical practices”

- Teacher, Beaufort Co. School District

“The presentation was delivered with excellence and was well put together. The presenter gave us new insights and tips on how to better use Gizmos and all that is available to go along with it which were much appreciated. ”

- Administrator, Buckeye Elementary SD

“I learned how the gizmos work, was shown several gizmos, had time to explore and then time to plan. Great balance! ”
