Reviews ### 1. A Key to Success **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martha O. | Instructional Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2021 **What do you like best about ThinkUp!?** Questions were always right on target for our TEKS, but Think Up! added the writing component....many more open ended opportunities for the students to share their thinking!!! And with the new structure of our state testing, many more opportunities to explore open-ended questions are provided. **What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?** Very little.....lessons are so comprehensive....almost too much if I could complain about anything. **What problems is ThinkUp! solving and how is that benefiting you?** This system gives us a foundation for all types of problem solving. It allows the students the scaffolding they need to build their problem solving capacity. The 2 step problems are my favorites! It breaks down the types of problems and allows students of varying abilities to scaffold learning. ### 2. Tyner's Review of TUMs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mrs. T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2020 **What do you like best about ThinkUp!?** NRJH is not using the newest platform of Mentoring Math, but I LOVE the book. I like the questions that are asked and the notes page is a great way for kids to see things in a different way then maybe the way I said it. I love starting off with the student friendly TEKs!!!! **What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?** I have not found too many items that I do not know like. I wish we had access to the new platform, but my school district did not buy it. I hate the fact that I do not have the same access I had last year. I HATE the flip book. **Recommendations to others considering ThinkUp!:** I love it. **What problems is ThinkUp! solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am seeing an increase in problem solving with my students!!! ### 3. Love the Books Not the Website **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2020 **What do you like best about ThinkUp!?** I like how it goes well with my state's standards. I love the complexity of the questions. The books are great. I have used Mentoring Minds in the past and have found it easy to use the online teacher and student editions, and I have made assignments. **What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?** There are too many things to click on to simply look at a page or assign something for my students. Everything seems to be crammed into one place. It is very complicated and frustrating. I usually give up and exit the program. As much as I love the actual book, it is so disappointing to know that the website is not user friendly at all. If I need something online I use another resource. You need to have a site that's a lot less complicated. Everything does not need to be on the first page. It is a website after all. I would recommend visiting other sites like iReady Math and Reading. **Recommendations to others considering ThinkUp!:** This resource goes along well with my state's standards and offers a wide variety of challenging problems. **What problems is ThinkUp! solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have not tried the online part of the program with my students this year. I use the books almost daily. I love the variety of questions and the progression of the lessons. This is basically my math book for my students. ### 4.

My students have not yet done the online component, but they will on Thursday and I'm sure they will love it! **What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?** I would like to be able to see for sure what I am assigning without having to look from a students online version. It was hard for me to see if I was assigning the correct page in the book to the online users. I would like to be able to see the way it looks like on their end as well. **Recommendations to others considering ThinkUp!:** So far, it has been a good book to use in small groups and for Intervention and Enrichment activities. **What problems is ThinkUp! solving and how is that benefiting you?** Thinkup Math is helping my students through intervening activities that align to our state standards.
