What
a gift to parents and families! This has been
an excellent tool to guide parents and their
children through the problem solving process.
It takes the guess work and stress out of helping
your child to succeed in math. Natalie W. - Elementary
School Principal
Word
problems are a nightmare for even the best students.
Picture-It Math helps take the guess work out
of solving this type of problem. The step-by-step
format is easy to follow and gives kids a sense
of accomplishment. It is an "I can do it" system.
There are so many games out there to practice
math, finally there is something to really teach
kids a strategy to learn the "how to".
I strongly encourage parents and students to
give Picture-It Math a try! I know I was amazed
with the results. Carolyn D. - 5th grade teacher
Math
was never my favorite subject. I use to dread
my 5th grade daughter coming home and asking
for help with her math homework, especially when
she needed help with word problems. My daughter
and I have been using the Picture-It Math program
for the past two months and her math grades have
really improved. Picture-It Math walks us through
problems step by step. It's easy and I am even
learning to enjoy math. Jennifer P. - Parent
Math
is my favorite subject and I am good at it but
I would be lying if I said that I like word problems.
They are hard not because of the math part but
because you have to figure out what to do. Picture-It
Math is awesome because when you use the steps
what to do just kind of jumps out at you. The
thing I like the best is that it always works!
The thing I have to remember is not to get too
cocky and skip steps! I like Picture-It Math
a lot, it makes my favorite subject even better!

As
a parent, I believe Picture-It Math is a great
resource to enable me to help my children learn
difficult math concepts. It simplifies math.
Ed M. - Parent
Picture-It
Math has been a wonderful tool in teaching students
the process of problem solving. I have had gifted
students in the area of mathematics that can
generate an answer without understanding the
process. My students do not have strategies or
tools to use when breaking down a complicated
story problem. Even more frightening, story problems
are mirror images of everyday adult life. Youth
today, need a tool to overcome the fear of the
text involved in story problems and solve the
math as they do in rote practice. Picture-It
Math is a tool that demonstrates 10 easy steps
in breaking down any problem and allows my students
the confidence to tackle problems that in the
past would have brought tears of frustration. Alissa

This
is a multi-sensory program which teaches students
one of the most difficult processes in math,
solving word problems. Picture-It Math teaches
students ten specific steps that are used to
solve every word problem. Each step is read orally
and discussed by class, teacher, or individual
student. Drawings, colors, and highlighting allow
kids to see each step. Students then use pencil
and paper to write or draw each step that has
been discussed and seen. Through the utilization
of repetition and stimulation of all the senses
my students have a better understanding of the
whole process involved in solving word problems.
Picture-It Math is an extremely effective program
that is helping my students develop the skills
necessary to solve word problems. They are actually
beginning to enjoy the challenge of word problems.
Deb Z.-Sp.Ed.Teacher
My
third grade students loved doing Picture-It Math
right from the start! I used the program as a
transition from Reading to Math, and the students
were always eager to see what the word problem
for the day was. All students were engaged as
we worked through the problem together. Those
students who tuned out to math word problems
kept attentive to the screen as it helped us
set up how to solve the problem. This visual
program definitely helped all students become
more confident in seeing and using words and
numbers in math! Sue B. - 3rd Grade Teacher
