FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“Reflex provides my students with the opportunity to grow and make gains with their math facts. They see the progress they have made and it’s been a confidence booster for them. I have seen this reflect in all academic areas and I am pleased with the progress they are making.”
— Reflex Teacher, Albuquerque Public School District, NM
“I've seen students become more confident and more willing to explain their thinking when working with fractions. They are better at recognizing fraction models, comparing fractions, and understanding what fractions actually represent. Engagement has also increased. Students are more focused and enthusiastic about working on fraction tasks.”
- Teacher, Lowndes County Public Schools
“I/m only in my second year of teaching, but my kids this year definitely have a better grasp on fractions and seem to enjoy them more than last years kids! We finished our fractions unit (students can still play Frax during our math games time), but have been doing number talks with fractions to start class. I have seen much deeper discussions and engagement with these number talks and I attribute that to Frax!”
- Teacher, Osseo Area Schools
“I asked a student what he was working on and he excitedly told me about the market part of his mission. My students genuinely enjoy their missions, and there is never any pushback when I ask them to get on them in class, they love it!”
- Teacher, Scott County Schools
“The students seem eager to learn from these simulations and acquire knowledge from it. After a short demonstration on how to use the simulation, the students seem to grasp and become effective learners.”

“I use Gizmos for the whole class, the Spanish translations have been very helpful for my EB class.”
- Teacher, Mesquite Ind School District
“I think the Gizmos helped students have the ability to talk about what was learned by pulling data from the Gizmos. This has increased engagement, especially with students being prompted with "well what evidence from the Gizmos helps support this?"”
- Science Teacher, Bristol Public School District
“I have found the students are much more engaged in the conversations and dialogues on topic when completing a Gizmo. They are always asking each other for the results and clarifications. They are willing and eager to help one another and check answers. It is a wonderful thing to see.”
- Science Dept Chairperson, Northeast Middle School
“Gizmos were well-aligned with the TEKS for Chemistry. For example, our classes utilized the Electron Configuration, Ionic Bonding, and Element Builder simulations, all of which directly supported the concepts outlined in the TEKS. The skills and content addressed in these Gizmos matched the learning objectives students were required to master, making them a strong instructional fit for our curriculum. Additionally, the practice questions provided also help students assess themselves to see if they understood the concepts.”
- Teacher, Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Ind SD
“Students are very engaged and love Gizmos. In the classes I have led, the conversations we have been able to have around the Gizmo and deepening their understanding has been great!”
- Elementary Science Specialist, Bentonville Public Sch Dist 6
“My students absolutely loved the Gizmo about building the storm-proof home. I received good feedback from parents that their children even went home discussing how fun it was learning about what materials can be used to storm-proof homes in areas where hurricanes are common. I observed that my students enjoyed experimenting with the different options presented on the Gizmo before starting the activity.”
