- 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.

Similes and Metaphors
Good resource to use while teaching similes and metaphors.

Great resource to use in my 5th-grade math classroom
A helpful resource
This resource was good, but I wish that it came with just a little bit more, such as more worksheets for students to use and practice their skills.
“Engaging and Effective Grammar Notebook for 7th Grade”
This 7th Grade Language Interactive Grammar Notebook is such a valuable resource! The interactive format keeps students engaged while giving them plenty of hands-on practice with grammar concepts. Each section is clear, organized, and easy to follow, making it perfect for middle school learners.
I love how it balances notes, practice, and interactive foldables—students aren’t just memorizing; they’re actually applying grammar in meaningful ways. It also works great as a reference tool throughout the year since students can go back to their notebooks whenever they need a refresher.
Prep is simple, and everything is laid out in a teacher-friendly way. My students enjoyed the activities, and I saw real improvement in their understanding and retention of grammar skills.
Highly recommend for any 7th grade ELA classroom—this notebook saves time, builds independence, and makes grammar less intimidating!
Good Resource
Good resource for quick grading and for pre and post testing and data.

Do you have a bundle for all your tile centers?
Thanks.
We no longer offer this bundle on TpT because it became too difficult to manage, and teachers didn't get instant access to their purchases. We were able to automate the build-your-own-bundle process in our off-site store, which makes the process a lot easier for teachers and us.

Are these all 2 x 2 problems? Or are there any 3 x 1 or 4 x 1?
Hello. They are all 2 x 2 and 2 x 1. Three-digit numbers won't fit on the page.
I cannot find the place in your store to by your tiles. I clicked on the here button, but I do see them. Help?
Hi Amy! I am no longer selling those on TpT. However, I do love the tiles from Amazon that are linked in the resource.
