Great Spiral Review
Great set up for spiral review. I wish I could edit because my scope and sequence is not the same.
It worked in a pinch
This is a quick way to introduce the topic. I did the task cards over two weeks, to keep reinforcing it over a longer period of time, and it worked out great!
Great for testing review
I've started to use these during the third quarter for testing practice. Some of the skills are skills that we haven't gotten to yet, so I can see it being a bit difficult to assign at the beginning of the year, such as decimals, geometry, and some skills with fractions.
Helpful math review.
This is a great math review. However, I am looking for a math review that follows along with the Eureka Squared math curriculum.
Great for Supplementing
The curriculum my school uses just expects students to know grammar concepts with just one explanation so supplementing is a must. This was perfect to teach students about helping verbs and practice before giving them the worksheet that goes with out curriculum.

Do you have a nonfiction task card set for ELA?
Only the science and social studies included in this bundle.
Is there any chance you have some for math? Or more examples of how to use the thinking mats for math?
Hi Amber! Sorry, but I don't have these for math.
In the preview, the samples include the depth and complexity icons. Will these still be included in my purchase?
Hi Tonie! Sorry for the confusion. That preview was old and I have removed it. This version does not come with icons.
Are there task cards for 1st grade?
Unfortunately, I only have them for upper grades and beyond.
