Why use Math Tiles?

- Build flexible thinking as students follow different clues and try more than one strategy.
- Practice perseverance and build confidence by revising a choice when the first idea doesn’t fit.
- Give students meaningful independent practice or have partners explain and compare their thinking.
- Save paper by reusing printed cards and having students record their answers on a separate sheet.
What’s included

- Google Slides version with movable number tiles
- Student recording sheet

How to use it
Use a card in a math center and ask students to show how they checked the units and dimensions for each rectangle. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

Great resource
This is a great resource and my students enjoyed using it.
Awesome Resource
This is a good resource to use to help students understand how to fix sentence fragments and run-ons.
Engaging Resource
My students are really enjoying these pages for their interactive notebooks. I really like that they come in different size pages depending on the type of notebook. Some spelling errors (measurement).
Wish I bought sooner
I loved how these are just ready to go. I did catch a decent amount of errors as I was printing and using in my room. Every week is very similar and I feel like it covers a lot of the same skills. I will continue to use these as a spiral review!!
Great resource but a little advanced
I love the concept of this resource but I felt like it was a too advanced for my readers. It is definitely meant for stronger, more independent readers.

Hi. Are all the shapes rectangles in the area and perimeter? Just asking because I teach third grade and we only teach area of rectangles. Thanks.
Hello! Yes, it's is just rectangles:-).
I purchased the math tile mega bundle awhile back, and my students LOVE them... A student pointed out that on Area & Perimeter, #4 - the middle row area should have a 3 in the ones place, not a 2. I checked the answer sheet and the length is 9, width is 7, which equals 63, not 62. Thanks!!
Uploading a corrected version right now! Should be ready in 10 minutes. Thanks for letting me know!!
