Success Stories and Test Results Submitted to AnsMar Publishers, Inc. by Professionals using Excel Math:

San Juan, CA
“I cannot express how impressed I am with your program. Our STAR results are outstanding and I am convinced without EXCEL we would be struggling to meet our goals. The spiraling piece that is built in…is what makes this so effective. If I ever move schools and my district does not provide this program, I would purchase it with my own money. Thank you for a wonderful program.”

Anna Russell, Teacher

Utopia, TX
“I just had to call you! We used your curriculum for the last two years and our scores were phenomenal. Would you believe, this year both 4th and 5th grade got 100%! The parents love it because it’s consistent. It’s just an awesome program and very teacher-friendly. 7 out of 15 students were commended in my class in TAKS! So, hip…hip… hooray!

Marilyn, 4th Grade Teacher, Utopia Elementary

Denver, CO
“I LOVE IT! What’s most important - THE STUDENTS LOVE IT! Some of the students’ comments include: ‘I like how I don’t need to wait to see if I got the right answer’, ‘I really love Math now’, ‘Can we do this every day?’, ‘This is fun!’ Thanks for helping me out.”

Mrs. Tanya Streicher, Teacher, Good Shepherd Catholic School

Aptos, CA
“We are using your Excel Math in our primary grades. We love it! By using it across grade levels, it allows us to differentiate by grouping out students according to their ability, not just their grade. It also allows us to keep the higher students challenged, and grade level students right on track while allowing plenty of review for the lower students. Excel Math is an excellent program for any school.”

Risa Schwartsz, 2nd Grade Teacher, MarVista School

Winters, CA
“We like Excel because the concepts spiral and increase in difficulty throughout the year. New concepts are introduced every few days in First Grade, instead of daily. We also use _____ program and, while the children like the colorful pictures, it is a very difficult program to use in the classroom, because there is no chance for practice and each page is a new concept taught in isolation. Overall, I’m very happy with Excel and the pacing of the lessons!”

Angie Velasquez, First Grade Dual Immersion Teacher

Mitchell, NC
“We have used Excel Math as long as I’ve been here. It’s a great program, and we use it in conjunction to our adopted program. We have been a School of Excellence for the past three years and we believe it’s largely due to Excel Math. We love it.”

Dr. Beth Bell, Principal at Gouge Elementary

San Diego, CA
“Our teachers, students and parents love Excel Math. Excel Math has provided an incredible boost to our math test scores and has given the students the confidence to successfully solve math problems.

Mr. Villar, Principal, John Logan Elementary School

Jay Brady, Principal

Retired Principal, Alaska and Washington
“I was a principal in Alaska and know how good Excel Math is. My entire school’s scores at Juneau doubled as a direct result of your Math program. I have since brought the program to the school I taught at in Washington. It is excellent!”

Kathy Odergaard, former Principal

Craryville, New York
“I heard about your program through a friend in Pennsylvania who got her whole school to use it, and their scores are fabulous. I am the only teacher in my school using Excel Math and I love it. Even the inclusion kids in my class, they like the routine, and they know what to expect. I love the placement tests, the organization of the material, and the Check Answer which is a wonderful self-assessment tool. I can’t wait to see this year’s scores, because I know my class will do great!”

Sue, Second Grade Teacher

Brownsboro, Texas
“We absolutely love Excel Math. We tell all the other districts and any superintendent that will listen! We were recognized last year for our performance, and it’s all due to Excel Math. Our scores continually reach the 90’s overall, and last year even the Special Population reached 89.9%...”

“When I heard you called I just had to call back! I love you guys! I heard about you from a friend who is a home-schooler. I am using you in my class and I love it. It’s not fancy, it’s not full of complicated activities and manipulatives, and it works.”

Pat, 1st Grade Teacher

Vero Beach, Florida
“I am a home-schooling mother of four. Excel Math is the type of program I’ve been looking for. I love the fact that there is a review of previously taught material throughout all the lessons. The workbook we’ve been using has no review and the concepts are taught too fast…. You are exactly what I was looking for and my son enjoys it.”

Mrs. Lorenz, Home schooler

We've been using Excel Math for about 10 years. We were one of the first schools in North Carolina to adopt the program. We are 92% Free/Reduced lunch and 38% ESL students. Our proficiency in reading and math were very, very low about 7 years ago. We're still struggling with reading, but our math scores have gone up, and up, and up.

We began using Excel Math in the 1992/93 school year in 4th and 5th grades. The prior year those grades scored equal to the state average of 59% in math. The following year, after having one year of Excel Math, they jumped to 70%. The second year they scored 80% and the third and every year since they have been 90% or above.
