"This program felt like so much more than solving problems for the sake of solving problems. The challenge problems got me excited about math for the first time in awhile. Although I struggled with some of the challenge problems for days, I felt so proud when I finally solved them."
Jose V. (Student)
"This program has been career-changing for me as a teacher. With the Trapeze material, I was able to increase the rigor in my classroom all while keeping the content fun, accessible, and engaging. From the scaffolded practice problems to the creative games, my classroom got reinvented in the best way possible."
Kate S. (Teacher)
"Trapeze Education changed my son's life. Its problem-solving approach kindled in him a deep love for mathematics that set him on his present course as a mathematics major at Tufts University and aspiring academic. Trapeze taught him that learning can and should be not only educational but fun, challenging and inspirational."
Sharon J. (Parents)
"The most valuable knowledge I received from Trapeze was the realization that any problem can be represented with a mathematical model. Even when the relationships between variables seem dauntingly complex, Trapeze helped me realize they can be broken down into meaningful mathematical formulae that can be manipulated to reveal answers and truths."
Dale J. (Student)
"Trapeze Education materials allow students to stretch themselves according to their interests and abilities. Within one problem, each student in class can be challenged in different ways and to different degrees. It's so much fun as a teacher to be a part of that!"
Stacey P. (Teacher)
"Trapeze inspired my son to think about math in ways that had never occurred to him before. Finding answers became a journey, one filled with learning and challenges and an eagerness to discover new ideas. I will be forever grateful for this year because it taught my son that there is value in the process as well as the answer."
Katie H. (Parents)
"I had never done math quite like this before. Each problem was a step towards a larger solution, and like climbing a mountain it felt amazing once I reached the top. Trapeze inspired me, and every student in my class, to put their best foot forward and work towards a greater understanding of the mathematical concepts. I would not be where I am today without Trapeze."
Cameron H. (Student)
"Trapeze Education materials are a wonderful supplement to any school's math curriculum. They challenge both student and teacher to step outside of their comfort zone. As a veteran teacher, it is often difficult to find things to use and implement in your classroom that make you feel like you are doing something outside of the box that truly improves your teaching. The materials and activities from Trapeze Education help me grow and improve without a doubt!"
Alison P. (Teacher)
"Every lesson was presented in both a creative and understandable way that made learning not only easy, but enjoyable. The unique ways in which problems were presented allowed for independent learning and problem solving, which I personally found to be far more effect than other math courses I’ve taken in the past."
Jade W. (Student)
"I have never really been challenged in math before. The problems from this program were accessible, fun, and incredibly hard. Sometimes, it took me a week before I solved them. I felt like I tried a hundred different ways to solve the problem. When I figured it out, I felt incredible"
Jesus P. (Student)
"I have never seen a program like this! Using the Trapeze program, students are encouraged to think and not just perform rote calculations."
Amy K. (Pilot Teacher)
"Your work is amazing and I am thankful to have been a part of the trial."
Dawn W. (Pilot Teacher)
"Trapeze has increased the rigor in my classroom in a way that seems natural. Problems aren't unnecessarily hard or monotonous; instead they provide interesting scenarios that are approachable and have multiple layers. Engagement has increased because students are interested in the work and have motivation to learn new problem solving strategies."
David C. (Pilot Teacher)
