My students loved the resource and I will be using it again!
I love this whole series of products. My students were very engaged. I will use this again with future classes.
My students loved this resource. It was fun yet challenging! I used the digital version during a center with great results. Thank you!
Such great resources. These really help students to think in a new, flexible way about mathematics. It's also nice to have some hands on math and not just pencil and paper.
My students really enjoy the Math Tile activities. They are challenging for my 4th grade students, but they are always excited to give them their best effort.

I also purchased this today and the digital Google slides was not the place value that I was expecting.
Sorry about that, Jason! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have updated the file with the correct link.
I just purchased this product to use today. The answer recording sheet is for skip counting, not word form/ expanded form. What am I doing wrong?
My apologies, Amanda. I accidentally put the wrong answer key in the file. I have updated the file, so you can download the correct version. I would be grateful if you could update your one-star review.
