Leave-Behinds — Algebra Studio Sales Partners

Leave-Behinds

Assets that travel up the chain without you in the room.

How to use this page

K–12 never closes on the first visit. After every meeting, send or leave behind one or two assets that the person you met can forward to their principal, curriculum director, or superintendent. The best leave-behind works without you explaining it. Everything here is designed for that — one page, scannable, answers the next question up the chain.

Product Sell Sheets

One-page PDF per product. Photo, 3-sentence description, grade range, session count, standards summary, pricing, and a link to the Explore page. This is the thing that goes up the chain.

PRISM: Grand Opening
Grade 3 · 10 sessions · Area, perimeter, multiplication. The flagship elementary lab.
Mega Mini Games
Grades 4–5 · 10 sessions each · Fractions (Design Game X + The Next Big Game). Covers both labs on one sheet.
Space Academy
Grades 5–6 · 10 sessions each · Coordinates, ratio, rate (Finding P.I.P.E.R. + Journey to Titan). Covers both labs.
Essentials: Balance Lab + Slope Lab
Grades 6–9 · 35 lessons · Equations through y = mx + b. The foundational algebra package.
Games Library
Grades 3–8 · 27 free print-and-play games. Not a sell sheet — a sampler card reps can hand out to get a game into a teacher’s hands.
Algebra Studio Overview
The full collection on one page — all seven labs, the K–8 sequence, the Games Library, and PD. For buyers who want the big picture before choosing a product.

Decision Support

These are for the person who needs to justify the purchase — the coordinator writing a PO, the principal explaining the budget to the superintendent, the director applying for grant funds. Each document answers a specific “why” question.

Standards Alignment
Session-by-session standards for all seven labs in both Common Core and TEKS. The thing a curriculum coordinator needs to confirm this fits their scope.
For: Curriculum coordinators, instructional coaches
Funding Guide
Six federal and state funding sources mapped to Algebra Studio products, with sample PO justification language for each. Helps coordinators find budget that already exists.
For: Curriculum coordinators, federal programs directors, administrators
Budget Justification Letter
A templated letter a coordinator can customize and submit with a purchase order. Pre-written justification language referencing standards alignment, supplemental positioning, and funding eligibility.
For: Curriculum coordinators, purchasing departments
Research Brief
One-page summary of the research basis for hands-on collaborative math instruction. Names the researchers (Nathan, Engle), the key findings, and the instructional theory behind the labs. For the buyer who asks about evidence.
For: Curriculum coordinators, principals, superintendents
Evaluation Partnership
Four research design options districts can use to evaluate Math Labs in their own schools. The response to “what’s the evidence?” — an invitation to generate evidence together.
For: Curriculum coordinators, principals, superintendents
PD Workshop Flyer
Half-day professional development workshop overview. What teachers experience, what they walk away with, and how to schedule. For coordinators arranging implementation support.
For: Curriculum coordinators, instructional coaches, PD directors

What to Send When

After a first meeting with a teacher: Product sell sheet for whichever lab you showed. Link to the Explore page. One free game PDF if you identified a relevant topic.

After a first meeting with a coordinator: Product sell sheet + standards alignment document. If budget came up, include the funding guide.

After a first meeting with a principal: Algebra Studio overview (the big picture) + the specific product sell sheet. Principals think in terms of the school, not the classroom.

When they ask about evidence: Research brief + evaluation partnership one-pager. Send both together — the research brief establishes the foundation; the evaluation partnership shows what you can do together.

When they say “no budget”: Funding guide + budget justification letter template. Make it easy for them to find the money and write the PO.

When they’re ready to pilot: Product sell sheet + standards alignment + evaluation partnership. This is the package that goes to the person who signs the PO.

The Follow-Up Talk Track

The follow-up email (within 24 hours)

Every meeting should be followed by a short email the same day or next morning. Keep it to three things: a thank you, one attachment, and one ask. The email itself should be 3–4 sentences. The leave-behind does the heavy lifting.

Example

“Dr. Martinez — thank you for making time today. I’m attaching the PRISM one-pager with the session overview and standards alignment we discussed. Would it make sense to schedule a 20-minute demo with your 3rd grade team? I can bring a sample kit and walk through one session. Happy to work around your schedule.”

When you don’t have a specific next step

If the meeting ended without a clear next action, the follow-up email is how you create one. Attach the most relevant leave-behind and propose a concrete, low-friction step.

Example

“I’m attaching a one-page overview of the funding options we mentioned — Title I and Title IV-A both cover this. Would it be helpful if I connected with whoever handles your federal programs? I can walk them through the PO justification language so it’s easy on their end.”
