This resource was alright, geared toward a much younger age group. However, well layout and organized. save a lot of prep time.
Thanks!
I originally got the 5th grade version of this resource. I LOVED IT. So, I decided to get the 3rd grade version. It has most of them same things as the 5th grade version. For example, we teach compound sentences in both 3rd and 5th grade. I assumed that the 3rd grade version would be tailored down to meet a 3rd grade level or standard....but it was the exact same as the 5th grade version. I am a little disappointed that I spent so much money on something that I already had!
Hi Katy,
The type and format of the resources are the same, but the content is entirely different. The 3rd Grade version is based on 3rd Grade CCSS standards, and the 5th Grade version is based on 5th Grade CCSS standards. There may be a few units on the same topic; however, the upper-level versions either act as a review or go deeper into the particular case. But again, the content is not the same.
The individual MP 1-8 posters are great. But the one listing them all, which I wanted to blow up for a full anchor chart has too much promo information. I'll keep looking.
The formatting is difficult for students to understand. There is a lot of scrolling back and forth for students between the questions and the answer places.
I love the simplicity of the graphics

Is there a Math Tiles bundle or does each need to be purchased individually? Thank you
I do have a build-your-own bundle option:
There seems to be something very wrong with this PDF file. It crashes my preview application every single time, but other files don't crash it. It's also VERY glitchy when I open the pdf using an online browser.
Also, there are a few pages with answers filled in.
Hi Robyn. I made some changes to the graphics in the file, so it would load more smoothly. I recommend opening and printing all of my files from Adobe Reader for best results. I also deleted some of those answers that mistakenly were left on some of the cards. Please let me know if the changes I made help. You can download the new version under "my purchases."
