How Does Pilot Testing Work?
You will receive a free digital copy of the program, one unit in PDF format at a time.
Before receiving the next unit, you will receive a link to provide online feedback about the current unit you have. Your feedback is valuable to us to make sure that our revisions are clear and comprehensive.
You will also receive an invite to be part of The Math Gift Facebook group where you can send us your questions, and also connect with other parents that are part of the pilot program. This group will be our gateway to compare your teaching experience and your students’ learning experience.
Important announcements will be made in the Facebook group. I highly recommend being a part of the Facebook group if you want to participate in the pilot program.
The first unit will be available in August. While each unit can be worked on for 4 days, please feel free to move at the pace of your student. If you decide that it is not a good fit, please send me a message indicating why you prefer to withdraw.
Will Higher Grade Levels Be Available?
We have workbooks prepared until grade 6. If you prefer to participate in pilot programs for grades 3 to 6, please let me know and I will reach out to you when we are ready to launch.
We look forward to seeing you in the pilot program!
