Educational Product Reviews

On this page you are going to find reviews of different educational products. Some of these products will be created (but not reviewed) by ELA in Middle School, while other products will be those that have been created by other teacher-authors which either Suzanne or Matthew, or both of us, have used in classrooms!

PLEASE NOTE

While many of the reviews are kept right here on our blog, this will not always be the case. Following many of these links will take you to other sites, such as Teachers Pay Teachers, The Wheel Edu, and Amped Up Learning. This is done so that you will be able to see the complete review, and not a "pick and choose" on our part. In addition, we do not accept any kind of payment for our reviews of other Teacher-Author's products.




This review of our BOOM! Cards was done by Enrica Minetti of Matemaths, who used them to help her son with distance learning/homeschooling! Thank you, Enrica!

Debbie Mendoza of Froggy About Teaching has 27 years experience teaching. Here is what she says about our Poetry Boom Cards on her blog.

This posting includes not only strategies, but also a review of TeacherSorce's Book Clubs resource as I discuss Reading and Lit Circles for Reading Interventions.

A big Thank you to Michael De Main of TheWheelEdu and Enrica Minetti of Matemaths for this review of using Boom! Cards for remote/distance learning and home schooling!

How do you teach 4th and 5th graders about terrible tragedies in history? E. A. Hammett of the Educator Helper shows us with "Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster" - Texas History with a World Wide Twist in this product review.

Amped Up Learning is having their first ever $2 Tuesday Sale! #TACOBOUTADEAL!

Enrica, a math teacher from Genova, Italy, also authors interactive mathematics products for remote/distance learning as well as in the classroom teaching. She offers these resources through her storefronts on TeachersPayTeachers  and on TheWheelEdu . Distance Learning Probability Practice Online Interactive is one of her latest creations. Available for $3.00 (USD)  from Matemaths! This resource is offered in PowerPoint format, and I was able to easily use it in Google Slides. It offers 20 fast review problems, perfect for students to do over summer or semester break, or as a review before an assessment. Each of the problems is set up as a word problem, with picture representations of the problems as well. Enrica takes the time to quickly review lowest common denominators without students realizing that this is happening! The fast action allows students to work through th...
