"I play the math songs first thing in the morning as students complete basic math facts, and I use it as a supplement to content instruction after a lesson has been taught." – 6th grade teacher, CA "The kids have memorized the words now and in terms of being able to apply it, well, how about 100 A's on their figurative language quiz. Awesome!" – 7th grade teacher, OH
