This program has helped to build my students' math skills by allowing them to work at their own level. They are excited everyday for their Happy Numbers time.\r\n\r\nThis program is a great tool to help me accelerate my higher math students and reteach skills to my struggling students. One of the best things about this program is the option for the students to complete the lessons in Spanish. I have three non-English speaking students in my class this year and they get excited to work on Happy Numbers because it is both at their level and their language. This program has allowed them to build their confidence with their math skills and it has transferred into our regular math curriculum. \r\n\r\nThe other great thing about this program is the Happy Letters portion for the kindergarten curriculum. It has allowed my students to review all of their letters and practice building and recognizing CVC words. My students were able to review these skills before their big state test and because of this extra support, 100% of my students showed growth on their end of the year assessments. \r\n\r\nHappy Numbers also allows the teachers to give assessments throughout the year. When the students first log in, they take a placement test. Teachers can then set up a mid-year and end of year check. I have seen huge growth in my students math skills and I believe it has a lot to do with Happy Numbers. It is a fun and engaging program for all learners.
