Semple Math - Simply Unforgettable

Bill Semple (President) : Hi Angela. Your feedback is welcome news to me as well. I have a proposal for your consideration. If any of the 14 students will be with you next year or if their new teacher is interested, I would be happy to supply Level Two materials for all 14 free of charge. Feedback on the progress of the group would be expected every 90 days during the higher levels. When the class finished Level Two I would follow up with Level Three and Four materials, also free of charge. Our objective is to have a few participants complete the program with the same group of students.

You have undoubtedly seen how the clues taught in one lesson will set the student up for success in the next lesson. The program constantly builds on previously taught skills as it follows our proven sequence. Additionally, you may have noticed several clues that do not connect to the next lesson or even the few after that. This is because we are preparing the student for higher level skills in Levels Three and Four. I would like to have some of our participants experience the complete program and share their findings.

For now, please consider continuing with Level Two when your students have finished Level One. Thank you for your ongoing participation in our Challenge Event.

Note: If any participant would like to explore continuing on to Level Two please contact me via email@semplemath.com. Please provide a telephone number and a good time to call. I will welcome an opportunity to speak with you.

Their math calculation has improved greatly since we started the course. 7. What progress have you seen in their math skills over the last 30 days? Are they on or below grade level? See above. They are still struggling with math reasoning. Jan Semple (Author) : It will come in time. I am wondering which lesson you are on. 8. How do you rate the overall attitude, outlook and self-esteem of each student on a scale of 1 - 5, 1 being the lowest score? Comments are welcome. It has improved from a 1 or 2 to a 4 or 5. Jan Semple (Author) : Outstanding! 9. How does the portion of Semple Math you have now seen compare to any "non-Semple" learning materials you have used in the past? (Please do not identify and materials and programs by name.) It seemed to help the information click and the progression was well constructed. 10. Has any standardized or local testing been used as part of this Challenge? If so, please explain the means of assessment and share your findings with consideration for student privacy. No 11. Would you recommend this program to other educators? Why or why not? Most Definitely! It helps kids understand concepts alien to them before. 12.
