Description

Time to Tile: Balancing Addition is a hands-on activity that takes students’ thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and algebraic reasoning while developing a deep, conceptual understanding of equations. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on the open squares to balance the values of each scale. This math tile set requires students to decompose numbers by utilizing advanced reasoning skills.

This resource is now provided in printable and digital formats (Google Slides).

This resource includes:

  • 30 different Time to Tile cards
  • An “Answer Recording Sheet,” where students can record their answers so they can be corrected later. This allows the resource to be used as a perfect independent or center activity.
  • Answer keys
  • Management and organization tips for successfully implementing Time to Tile in your classroom.

4th Grade Daily GRAMMAR Language Spiral Review Morning Work [Editable] Test Prep
Devena M.

I didn't see know that you would have to purchase the Friday assessments separately and the answers are not included in the package. I will now have to purchase the assessments. For 30.00 I could've purchased a book from LAKESHORE LEARNING...

Hi Devena! The Friday assessments required that I write brand new content for 36 weeks to match the content of the weekly review. It took over 120 hours to complete, which is why they are a separate purchase. I also spent an additional 30 hours making an editable version for teachers. The answers ARE provided. Please check the end of the included​ PDF version for the answers.
