Educator Testimonials
I could not recommend Pirate Math enough. My students were thoroughly engaged and entertained from start to finish. I honestly think they would have skipped recess to continue the activity had I given them the chance. Mr. Gandy did a wonderful job communicating with me periodically before the visit and made sure I understood what I needed to do to be ready. Personally, the best part was the content used. Not only was I able to pick the standards I wanted my students to practice, but once I gave Mr. Gandy the standards, he gave me a plethora of questions to go with that standard to ensure that each question used was reflective of what I wanted my students to work on. This was educational in a fun and hands on way while also helping my students build peer relationships and practice their teamwork skills. We will for sure be rebooking Pirate Math for years to come!! Olivia Funderburk, 3rd Grade Teacher

Pirate Math has been an amazing experience for my students. In such a short time, they grew as math students and had fun learning. Pirate Math is action packed, loud, and exciting for everyone involved. Whether a student is low, average, or high he/she will feel a part of the team the entire game! – Melissa Brown/4th Grade Teacher
How could standards-based math review be so much fun?!?! Pirate’s Challenge is so well thought out. It actively engages ALL students, and each one has a role in helping their team succeed. It’s exciting and downright FUN! – Beth Granger/5th Grade Teacher
Pirate’s Challenge has helped me immensely in the classroom. After my students compete, I look at questions they struggled with the most and review them during small groups. – Amber Weaver, 2nd Grade Teacher
