Last summer, the NGPF math team was thrilled to release the complete Financial Algebra course for its inaugural year. Since then, your energy and enthusiasm have brought the course to life in classrooms across the country. So we’d love to know - what was YOUR experience like?

How was your year?

You took the Financial Algebra course and made it your own. We’d love to hear how it went! We value your feedback and will continue to use it to shape our resources.

Please take a moment to complete our Financial Algebra survey. [now closed]

What we’ve heard from you so far

Throughout the year, you’ve shared your experiences. We’ve been listening as you tackle the challenges of implementing a new curriculum and celebrate the joy of lightbulb math moments. 

In the fall, we gathered some initial feedback on how teachers were using Financial Algebra. From that first round of surveys, we were able to share your suggestions, revise our content, and plan a path forward.

Here are some of the words teachers used to describe Financial Algebra. 

A big year for NGPF Math, by the numbers

We couldn’t resist pulling some big numbers to celebrate the year. Here are some highlights:

• 13,000 math teachers and counting!
• 466 hours of professional development focused on math
• 77 lessons in the complete Financial Algebra course
• 80 activities on the new NGPF Math page
• 40 Desmos Classroom activities
• 31 math-focused Virtual PDs

 
Thank you for sharing this year with us!
