Great resource to use for daily math practice and review.
My fifth graders have been using this resource on a daily basis this year. The more we practice, the more comfortable and capable they are getting with the concepts. It is great to have a resource that pushes them to regularly practice these skills that can be difficult to fit in otherwise.
While I think that this resource is very well put together and covers a core set of language skills, it was a little too difficult for my very low level 4th graders. However, I do think that this product would be a very good fit for higher ability students.
Great to use for morning work or for warm up before the subject and content begin
It is a great resource used for small group rotations
