This engaging resource activates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while building a true understanding of the distributive property and the ability to identify when two expressions are equivalent. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on the Time to Tile cards in order to correctly complete the equations.
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.

Just letting you know I have shared your work via my pinterest and facebook sites :)
Thank you so much! Enjoy using them.
Lots of room to write and an easy way to assess comprehension.
Thank you.
This really helped me tighten up my lit. circles and make them CCSS ready. Thanks!
Thank you for your purchase and your great feedback! I also love Depth and Complexity for CCSS!
These are phenomenal! I love the recording sheets. I can see them using it as a center and trying out each kind of task (their choice of card number) during a novel study. It could be done alone or in small discussion groups. Tons of possibilities! Could a set of nonfiction task cards be in your future...please? haha Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm so happy you are seeing all the possibilities. As far as non-fiction, I do have a set for Social Studies and Science in my store. They can be used with textbooks or any nonfiction reading selection (within the topics of social studies or science).
