This started out with so much potential! My students were stoked to use these after I purchased your math doodle sketches (which they love). However, after a while, they found it challenging and taxing, and it took them a long time. I hope it gets better as we start up again soon after break, but I wish there was a colour version or an answer key of some kind to help those kids that need support. My top kids had no problem coming up with meanings and doodles, but for differentiation purposes, it would be great to have options.
I just started using this before the break after I bought your Math doodle sketches. Everything about this is wonderful except that I wish there were color examples like in your math sketches. It is so nice to provide my younger students with a visual. It is a brand new concept that my division team is starting to introduce, and it is challenging for my class. Also, if there was a color version it would provide me with some kind of an "answer key". Sometimes even I need help with these Greek and Latin roots too! My brain needs all the help it can get!
Used it with my lower ability Year 9s. Not overly engaging.

Is there any way to purchase all of the time for tiles activities in a bundle? It will be easier to approve with my school than all individually.
To ensure all buyers have access to the latest versions of my resources, I do not create custom bundles. Unfortunately, there is no function for buyers to create their own bundles on TpT.
However, I do offer a Build Your Own Bundle option on my site. You can check out all of the details here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
Are these self-grading? :)
Hi there! No, they are not self grading. They are in Google slides
When I try to download/make a copy of the digital version, I get an error message saying it's not available at this time. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!
Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Is there a way to get the digital version of this now that you have updated? I would love to be able to use this with virtual learning? I just didn't want to have to rebuy these.
Thank you!
Thanks for reaching out. These are separate resources as the digital versions take 100s of hours to create. You can find the digital version here:
I bought your number tiles activity but I did not see the set of ultra strong 40 tiles that you gave a link to. Please tell me where these are. Foam that you cut in strips with the bright colors on denim
Hi Karen! Unfortunately, I am not able to sell these at this time.
I love this idea, but do you have any for second grade? All the ones I see are for 3rd grade and up.
Hi Yolanda! Mine don't go below 3rd grade. But check out this seller: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Inspired-Elementary/Category/Math-Tiles-242760
Can you please make these 2 digit plus 2 digit and 3 digit plus 3 digit so I can use them with my second graders?
That is a great idea! I will add it to my to-do list. Thank you!
