Fantastic Math Tool
This was great to do in small groups with my students, it allowed them to think outside the box. I loved how they would guess and check to try different methods.
A helpful resources with minor drawbacks for some students
I found this to be an excellent resource, however, my students did not refer to this resource as frequently as I would have liked. I think perhaps the reason for that was because it was "too busy" for them. Some of my students had difficulties finding the exact support/information they needed from the entire sheet. *Note: I printed off the already filled in anchor chart for my students to place in their math notebooks. They did not fill in the sketch notes on their own due to time constraints.

I think perhaps the reason for that was because it was "too busy" for them. Some of my students had difficulties finding the exact support/information they needed from the entire sheet, since there is a lot on one page.

Does this source also address how colons and semi-colons play into things?
Hello! This particular unit does not differentiate between colons and semi-colons. However, this unit from the 4th-grade set does: https://teacherthrive.com/product/fourth-grade-grammar-punctuation/.
