This activity is such a fun way to reinforce skills. Love the number of versions -- my students want to solve them all!
Such great resources. These really help students to think in a new, flexible way about mathematics. It's also nice to have some hands on math and not just pencil and paper.
I used this with 7th grade students during summer school. They liked it as something different. I wish it had similar problems on page 1 and then change for page 2 and then mix the problems. It was a bit challenging for the students to understand what was going on at first. I think if they could have done the same type of problem multiple times before the problems were mixed it would help. The resource though is great and they were really getting it by the time we got to pages 5 and 6!
These a great resources to have in my classroom. I use them in small groups, and as fast finishers. They challenge the students, and I have heard them say how much they enjoy them. Thank you.
My students absolutely love these cards. I have several sets and they are amazing.

Hi Judith! Both the Google Slides and PDF are included.
Do you have a third grade version? My students are struggling and I’d love a hands on option!
Hi there! Unfortunately, I don’t have this particular topic available for lower grade levels.
