FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“Frax is helping my students understand the concepts better and approaching students in a way that I am unable to do. They are engaged and enjoying the missions because they are built like games. Students are even doing it on the weekend! Thank you!”
— Frax Teacher, Malden Public Schools, MA
“Gizmos naturally foster engaged conversation and dialogue because the interactive models prompt immediate "what if" questions and testable predictions. Students in groups were constantly negotiating which variable to change next and justifying their predictions based on their prior knowledge or observations from the simulation. The simulations encourage students to use scientific vocabulary to explain the phenomena they were seeing, moving beyond passive learning into active explanation.”
- Teacher, Northeast Middle School
“Gizmos helped them [students] prepare for the exams and have a better understanding of how systems work.”
- Teacher, Utah Online School
“The 'hands-on' nature of the Gizmos lessons has helped students gain confidence in engaging in science, because they want to actively participate.”
- Teacher, Scotts Ridge Elementary School
“They [students] learned that science is fun and like a game, so they had no hesitation when it came to following the scientific method. They loved doing the online experiments and were so curious, they wanted to do it at home.”
- Technology Coordinator,Teacher, Laurel Park Elementary School
“After completing the fan cart Gizmo I had my students design a new ride for a theme park using the information about mass and speed from the gizmo. They loved it! We were also able to work in math as they had to purchase the materials and bid out the project for their prototype.”
- Grade 3 Teacher, Frank Tillery Elem School
“Gizmos had really helped my students focus on science processes. They've enjoyed being able to manipulate variables and test solutions. It's really helped them apply their content knowledge!”
- Grade 3 Teacher, Frank Tillery Elem School
“Students were able to do investigations that I would not be able to do in the classroom due to me not having the resources. They were able to have discussions on the skill and use critical thinking to dig deeper into what they were learning.”
- Grade 5 Teacher, North Forest Pines Elem School
“I like that it is fun and engaging for the students. It's always easier when they are eager to complete the program and don't dread it.”
- Teacher, DePaul School of NE Florida
“One of my students struggled with understanding fraction equivalency and often felt frustrated during math lessons. After using Frax regularly, I noticed a significant improvement in their confidence and skills. The interactive, game-based approach helped the student grasp challenging concepts in a fun way. By the end of the unit, they were not only able to identify equivalent fractions accurately but also actively participated in class discussions about fractions. It was rewarding to see their enthusiasm for math grow.”
- Teacher, Sweetwater Elementary School
“My students enjoy working on the program. They are understanding the concept of fractions and using the words instead of looking at fraction numbers has helped a lot. They have started the comparing fractions part and I am noticing they do not need to use their fraction manipulative as much. They are able to visualize the fractions without the aids.”
