Teacher Feedback

"Was able to use this resource with my 8th graders to make the connection between distance and the abstract concept of the Pythagorean Theorem."

"Great resources to use for reteaching and RTI to practice concepts. Helpful"

"Fun and engaging resource! I used this with my Algebra 1."

"I have used the resources from this seller as FSA Test review (Now BEST). My students told me thank you after they took the math portion. They found the worksheets to be very helpful. The Slope Guy has become one of my favorite sellers, especially when preparing for the FSA (Florida's B.E.S.T.) Math. "
