Great product but a bit too difficult for my 4th graders
I felt that this would be difficult for my fourth graders as it addresses standards and topics that have not been covered yet in week 1.
It includes material that is not included with current standards
Thank you.
There is a lot of practice on the same skill. I did look at the sample carefully, but thought that when it said :
"There are 36 different cards in this set, and each one presents a unique, non-routine task using pattern blocks. "
"Skills Covered:
•Basic operations (adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying) with fractions applied within the context pattern blocks"
I thought the tasks would actually be different. The cards are different, but its 36 of the same task. I thought the preview was just one example. Wish it had more skills, and more practice of all the operations with fractions.

Hi there! I just purchased the area of Triangles Math Tile Activity and it seems to be missing the Answer Recording Sheet and the Answer page ;-)
