This is really cute and engaging. A nice, quick way to go over this skill.
I love this resource; however, read the FINE print. This is only a 4-day per week resource. The quizzes have to be purchased separately. This was hidden in the description that I should have "closely" read, but I have found it to be a great resource.
I loved the different types of problems each day. The students were able to do them for morning work and we could quickly review during class time.
Nice, clear definitions and visuals to support student learning in the classroom. I used them as introductory visuals and support visuals when reviewing concepts.
This resource is absolutely filled with amazing interactive notebook pages that engage students and provide a great reference for them throughout the year. There are so many that I really can't put every single one into their notebooks, but I love the variety that allows me to choose what to use to best support my students in their learning. With 6th grade special education, I have to do a lot of individualized work for my students, so the variety and scope of this resource is fantastic.
