Teacher Feedback

1. "I really enjoyed how it connects with the real world and things that intermediate students care about."
2. "Excellent Resource."
3. "Love these lessons! My students were engaged in the lessons and it was really interesting to hear their comments about the differences in gender pricing."
4. "Loved this lesson! Helps to open the eyes of 13/14-year-olds. I just need to make sure they are on the same site to compare products, not just looking for the best deal. Otherwise, it loses its impact. But very appropriate lesson that continues to be talked about in the media."
