I enjoyed using this resource in class, thank you!
I used the print versions for 7th and 8th grade students for several years; they are awesome! Now that I'm tutoring, I've purchased other grade levels as well. I purchased 4th and 5th in the electronic version, and I prefer the print versions.
It was an awesome resources that gave my students extra practice and met the standard.
the activities were wonderful but not enough of one kind. Even with checking I couldn't find any more like this. had to resort to Marcy cook.
Easy to use. Just open the links, schedule for the days you want on google classroom and forget about it. The only thing I wish it would include is an option for kids to put in their class number or school ID or name. It would make it easier to collect data.
