Why use Math Tiles?
- Make problem solving hands-on by letting students move number tiles and test their ideas.
- Build flexible thinking as students follow different clues and try more than one strategy.
- Practice perseverance and build confidence by revising a choice when the first idea doesn’t fit.
- Give students meaningful independent practice or have partners explain and compare their thinking.
- Save paper by reusing printed cards and having students record their answers on a separate sheet.

- Student recording sheet

How to use it
Use a puzzle after a fractions-to-decimals lesson and ask partners to explain how they matched one fraction to its decimal. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

This math resource is useful for a quick warm-up with my students.
I like the purchase, good for enrichment and independent practice.
I think there are a lot of good things here, and we use it, but there could be more depth. It is just the pages so you have to build in everything else.
Good resource for the price. The only issue is that the sentences were way too long for students to fit their written answers on the lines.
This addresses the critical content in 4th grade, but it does need to be edited. In the first week, the fraction problem visuals show the wrong fraction. I also like the editable version so that I can take out questions that address content I haven't reached yet.
<p>This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since many teachers follow different timelines.</p><p>Since Daily Spiral Reviews cover all standards, students are exposed to concepts they may not have had formal instruction on. Unfamiliar content presents a great opportunity for you to build background knowledge and assess where your students are before you even teach a specific lesson.</p><p>The best way to use this spiral reveiw is to begin with whole-group lessons where you model and discuss each activity. I don't worry too much if there haven't been formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more as a preview. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format, and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students work independently on the review, you will spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. </p><p>As mentioned above, students will encounter concepts they are unfamiliar with. This is a GOOD thing, I promise! We don't always have the answers or know the procedures to solve problems. It's beneficial to expose students to "unknowns"; they become less sensitive to the uncomfortable feeling of "not knowing" and are less likely to panic. </p><p>However, you can always use the editable version (open in PowerPoint) to remove/change any review items you like.</p>

Several years ago you offered a bundle of tile activities, where I could choose I believe 10 different activities. I recall that I had to download them through your website and, at that time, your activities were paper only. Now you offer the same activity as both paper and digital, but since I bought and downloaded mine through your website, I do not have access to the digital versions. Is there any way to get the digital version of the tile activities I already purchased from you?
Hello, Jeannine! If you can email me your order number or the original email I sent you with your links, I can help you with this. info@teacherthrive.com
I purchased this product and another one of yours. The other product printed no problem, but this one is not sending to printer at all. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you have any suggestions? As of right now I am unable to print any of it at all.

Is there any way to be refunded? The product is beautifully done, but when I looked at the preview, it appeared this product was at a 4th grade level and it is way too difficult for my students. I would happily exchange it for a different product on your page. Thanks.
Hi Alison. Unfortunately, digital downloads on TpT are nonrefundable. I will say that I have used this exact resource with 4th grade. I encourage you to give it a try with your students. I think you will be pleasantly surprised :-).
