I purchased this resources to use with my students that are distance learning. I saw the standards that were included and purchased it with the assumption that I would be able to find the standard that I was teaching and give the assessment/quiz for that specific standard. While the material is good, I do NOT like the set up and it does NOT allow me to use it in the way that I want. It is set up weekly with NO table of contents. I did not intend to use it weekly. I thought that I would be able to use it for the standard that I was teaching. If you want to do a spiral review at the end of the year after you have taught every standard, then this would be a good resource. However, if you are wanting a product that will you will be able to use per standard, do not waste your time. Each link is just a link with no idea what you are downloading. I am going to keep looking for a product that I can use.
Good resource, but too few lessons are drilled throughout the year. It'd be great if more grammar lessons were incorporated.
The file is in a PDF. I wanted to modify it by using each page as a background in slides and then placing text boxes over it where I wished students to write or place images. I got the free extension small PDF to convert the files into PNG files but the document is too large. I tried several other extensions but nothing would work without paying additional money. I reached out to the seller to give me the document in PNG, or to break it in 10 page segments so I could use it. She refused. Now I am stuck doing screenshots which come out blurry.
This was WAY too difficult to start the year with. It would have been much better to spiral at the beginning with the standards from the grade level below, rather than starting with the end of year standards.
<p>This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since many teachers follow different timelines.</p><p>Since Daily Spiral Reviews cover all standards, students are exposed to concepts they may not have had formal instruction on. Unfamiliar content presents a great opportunity for you to build background knowledge and assess where your students are before you even teach a specific lesson.</p><p>The best way to use this spiral reveiw is to begin with whole-group lessons where you model and discuss each activity. I don't worry too much if there haven't been formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more as a preview. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format, and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students work independently on the review, you will spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. </p><p>As mentioned above, students will encounter concepts they are unfamiliar with. This is a GOOD thing, I promise! We don't always have the answers or know the procedures to solve problems. It's beneficial to expose students to "unknowns"; they become less sensitive to the uncomfortable feeling of "not knowing" and are less likely to panic. </p><p>However, you can always use the editable version (open in PowerPoint) to remove/change any review items you like.</p>
I really like this-like others have said, I haven't found a way to have students record their name so that makes it somewhat unusable.

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!
