"The program and activities are easy to navigate in both English and Spanish. It has great assessment questions that mimic high rigorous questioning! We use this resource to close learning gaps and have students work daily toward mastery. We use it not only in our direct instruction but also as a tutorial resource for students in a small group."

"I love using Think Up during small groups to really dissect those rigorous questions! These questions help our students prepare for STAAR assessments and track their skill progression."

"ThinkUp Mathematics is a great math program that embodies critical thinking and real-world experiences that embed the TEKS throughout the program. Students are allowed to explore problem-solving situations that require students to think and justify their responses. Each lesson includes Learning Targets, Misconceptions, Teacher Tip and even Pre-Assessments. In addition, the teachers have..."

"the opportunity to locate prior skills necessary to teach students a particular unit"

"In my opinion, the layout and organization of the program are ideal for planning. I have been using the concept development and concept checks most often in my classroom."

"Think up not only raises the rigor for students but also gives teachers a platform to layer critical thinking skills on top of instruction."

"Great resource with everything you need! It shows you what they should already know from previous grade levels and everything you need to plan including interventions and extensions."

"I LOVE the rigor of the word problems. I also love the build up of the stamina. It allows multiple opportunities for various discussions and activities in class."

"Rigor! The rigor level of the think up material really alligns well with the STAAR so I know that if my students can solve the problems in think up they will be fine on the STAAR test!"

"My favorite thing about Think Up! math is that the questions require critical thinking in order to find solutions. I love to hear the "math talk" as students work through problems together."

"Utilizing ThinkUp has been very beneficial for students in that it has various components to ensure that the student understands the concept. It presents the notes, text, and remediation."

"Our teachers have really enjoyed the Concept Exploration section of each unit. This has helped provide an outstanding tool for concept introductions and small group review. They have also enjoyed using the Motivation Station during small group/station time. It is a built in station/review activity with high - quality rigor and reinforcement."

"I like the Vocabulary Mastery activities at the beginning of each unit. Currently I am using them as part of the Accelerated Instruction I provide my students."

"I like the rigor of the books. The assignments have DOK levels 2 and 3. Some lessons have projects that can be a DOK 3 or 4. DI is also included in the teacher's guide."

"All questions are tied to TEKS and are written like STAAR test questions. There are a variety of questions and great activities. It is a good supplemental resource."

"I love the teacher resources that guide you from beginning to end with direct students' thoughts to guide them in the learning process. I also like the 9 traits that show students what kind of thinking that is needed for the tasks being given."

"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."

"We use Think Up for Math, Reading, and Writing in grades 3-5. We like the alignment to the TX standards (TEKS) and the variety and complexity of questions and passages."

"Think Up is aligned perfectly with the Texas TEKS that will be tested on STAAR. I have been teaching 25 years and its the best thing I have ever used to prepare my kids for the state test. It really helps the students to build the critical thinking skills they need to be successful on the exam as well as in life. I love that there is a guided instructional part as well as an independent..."

"ThinkUp! has ideas for enrichment and intervention and it provides many resources for learning."
