My students found this to be a little challenging, but it comes with many resources to practice.
This unit made prepositional phrases easy to understand! The explanations were clear, and the practice activities kept my 5th graders engaged. Perfect for reinforcing important grammar skills with plenty of examples.
Clear and effective grammar unit! The lessons and activities helped my 5th graders understand and use correlative conjunctions confidently. Great mix of practice and explanations—very teacher-friendly!

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. If you’d like to receive a discount on multiple math tiles, you can visit https://teacherthrive.com/byob
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.
