"Great resource to use as a teacher!"
4/5
What do you like best about ThinkUp!?

I like the ability to identify TEKs per passage and get the same lessons in Spanish for my bilingual students as well. The option to have a resource in Spanish translation is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?

I think it would be helpful to have a review after the assessment section of each chapter. I also think it would be great to have the teks listed in student books as well as the teacher manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?

"Genuine Critical Thinking"
5/5
What do you like best about ThinkUp!?

ThinkUp curriculum is robust when addressing Critical Thinking. It does an excellent job defining and providing guidance into what the Critical Thinking process is and should be. The infographics and graphics are high-quality. We noticed the benefits of using ThinkUp in the classroom almost immediately. In addition, we appreciate the consistent newsletter delivered to our email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?

Like almost all things, there is room for improvement. One improvement we recommend is more targeted or differentiated guided lessons. Another aspect that could enrich ThinkUp is the graphics for word problems, as students often use images as entry points. Overall, we enjoy using MentoringMinds for the quality of content and level of rigor. The ThinkUp addition was the cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annalise Hartley of ThinkUp!

Thank you for your review. We're so pleased to hear that ThinkUp! has been a great critical thinking resource for your campus!

"ThinkUp! For Schools"
4/5
What do you like best about ThinkUp!?

I like that ThinkUp! has the iReady resource that levels for students and has a variety of resources to provide for our students' learning. There are multiple ways to access student understanding and a variety of options when utilizing the materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?

I wish there was more scaffolding built in to make sure that students can build up to the more rigorous skills that they are learning. Sometimes, the ThinkUp! resource requires outside resources for that scaffolding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game Changer!"
5/5
What do you like best about ThinkUp!?

I use the Think Up! Science workbooks in my class. I love how the Teacher Edition makes lesson planning easy. The Explore/Experiments provided are engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThinkUp!?

I don't think there are any downsides! However, now that the STAAR test is changing its format to include short answer responses, and more interactive questions/answer choices. I hope that Think Up can also include activities like this. Also I am not sure if there is a digital version on the workbooks for students that would be awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that ThinkUp! Science has been a valuable resource and made lesson planning easy. ThinkUp! Science will have updated question types for the upcoming school year, and digital PDFs can be accessed with a subscription to the Teacher Toolbox. 😊
