Teacher / Instructional Coach

They want to see what students actually do. Show engagement, ease of implementation, and standards fit — not district pricing.

💡 For a first conversation with a teacher, lead with the overview deck and jump to a product deep-dive if they say "show me more about fractions" (or area, algebra, etc.).
Overview Deck ~15 min
Algebra Studio for Teachers: What Students Actually Do
The "show me" deck. Opens with a 60-second classroom video, then walks through what a typical session looks like from the teacher's perspective. Emphasizes low prep, high engagement, and how the lab structure gives students autonomy without chaos. Ends with implementation options and a free game download to try immediately.
Content Outline
  1. Opening hook — 60-sec classroom video: students collaborating on a PRISM store design
  2. The problem we solve — "Your students learn procedures. Ours apply them." Adaptive platforms compress instruction — who handles the transfer to real-world reasoning?
  3. What a session looks like — Walkthrough of a single session: materials out → team challenge → build/design → reflect. 45–60 minutes.
  4. Student work examples — Photos and artifacts from real classrooms. Floor plans, game boards, coordinate maps.
  5. Teacher role during a lab — Facilitator, not lecturer. Built-in teacher guide per session. Low prep: open the kit, read the card, go.
  6. Standards alignment snapshot — Quick view of which standards your lab covers (CCSS / TEKS / Florida). Just enough to reassure, not overwhelm.
  7. Scheduling flexibility — Full 10-session arc (recommended), or break into 2–3 session mini-units. Works in math block, enrichment, or afterschool.
  8. What's in the kit — Durable manipulatives + consumable workbooks. Everything arrives ready to teach.
  9. Next step — "Try it with your class." Free game download as a taste, or request a sample session kit.

Curriculum Coordinator / Math Specialist

They need to justify this up the chain. Lead with standards, research, and implementation — how does this fit across classrooms and grade bands, not just one teacher's room?

💡 Coordinators often ask about alignment to existing core curriculum. The key framing: Algebra Studio is a supplement that fills the application gap — it works alongside any core, not instead of it.
Overview Deck ~20 min
Algebra Studio for Curriculum Leaders: Standards, Research, and Implementation
The "make a case to your team" deck. Leads with the instructional gap Algebra Studio fills — the space between procedure and application — then walks through research foundations, standards alignment across all products, and a concrete implementation pathway from pilot to adoption.
Content Outline
  1. The application gap — Students learn procedures but can't apply them. Adaptive platforms accelerate practice — who handles the transfer to reasoning?
  2. What Algebra Studio is (and isn't) — Supplemental, not core. Collaborative, hands-on project labs. Works alongside any adopted curriculum. "Where students apply the math they're already learning."
  3. Research foundations — Embodied cognition, collaborative knowledge construction, productive struggle. Citations from Nathan, Alibali, Piaget, Vygotsky. Link to full research brief.
  4. K–8 product map — Visual showing all 7 labs across grade bands: PRISM (3–5), MMG (4–5), Space Academy (5–6), Essentials (6–9). Where each fits in the scope and sequence.
  5. Standards alignment deep-dive — CCSS, TEKS, and Florida crosswalk for each product. Coverage across domains: geometry, fractions, expressions & equations, ratios.
  6. Implementation models — Three paths: embedded in math block (2x/week for 5 weeks), enrichment/intervention block, afterschool/summer program. Scheduling templates.
  7. Professional development — Half-day PD workshop included with district orders. Teachers leave with a plan for sessions 1–3. Ongoing support via Hands-On with Howie video series.
  8. Pilot pathway — Starter Kit → 4-Team Kit → Full Class Kit. Try with 1 teacher, expand to grade level, then school-wide. Built-in evaluation option.
  9. Evaluation partnership — Co-design a research study with 10story's learning sciences team. Pre/post assessment data. Publishable results.
  10. Pricing & funding — Kit pricing overview. Title I, Title IV, ESSER, and CTE funding eligibility. Funding guide available.

Superintendent / Assistant Superintendent

District-scale thinking. They want strategic alignment, ROI, evaluation data, and board-level justification. You're not selling a kit — you're proposing a partnership.

💡 At the superintendent level, frame Algebra Studio as a strategic initiative, not a product purchase. "We're proposing a research-backed enrichment partnership across your elementary and middle grades."
Overview Deck ~20 min
Algebra Studio District Partnership: Strategic Enrichment for K–8 Mathematics
The "board-ready" deck. Positions Algebra Studio as a strategic enrichment layer for the district's math program. Leads with the national context — procedural fluency without application — introduces the K–8 lab sequence, and builds toward a phased district partnership with built-in evaluation and professional development.
Content Outline
  1. The national challenge — Math proficiency data (NAEP). The gap between procedural fluency and mathematical reasoning. "Students can compute, but can they apply?"
  2. What's missing from current programs — Core curricula build skills. Adaptive platforms build fluency. Neither builds the ability to apply math to open-ended, collaborative problems.
  3. Algebra Studio: the application layer — Hands-on, collaborative math labs that supplement any core. 7 labs spanning K–8. Research-based design from Northwestern Learning Sciences.
  4. K–8 strategic sequence — Visual map: which labs serve which grade bands, which standards domains, which district priorities. Progression from area/multiplication through algebra.
  5. Research & evidence base — Peer-reviewed foundations. Embodied cognition research. Option for district-specific evaluation partnership with publishable results.
  6. District implementation model — Phase 1: Pilot (5–10 classrooms, 1 semester). Phase 2: Grade-level expansion. Phase 3: District-wide. Each phase includes PD, evaluation, and coaching.
  7. Professional development — Half-day launch workshop. Ongoing coaching via video library. Train-the-trainer option for district math coaches.
  8. Evaluation partnership — Co-designed research with 10story's learning sciences team. Pre/post assessments, classroom observations, teacher surveys. Board-reportable results.
  9. Investment & ROI — District pricing tiers. Cost per student per year. Multi-year durability of materials. Comparison to other supplemental spend.
  10. Funding pathways — Title I, Title IV-A, ESSER, CTE (middle grades), gifted & talented, state innovation grants. Funding brief available.
  11. Partnership proposal — "We're not asking you to buy a kit. We're proposing a research partnership that improves math outcomes and gives your board evidence." Next steps: identify pilot schools, schedule PD dates.
