Description
Time to Tile: Equivalent Decimals and Fractions is a hands-on activity that takes students’ thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while building a true understanding of equivalent fractions and decimals. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on the Time to Tile cards in order to correctly complete the equivalent decimals and fractions.
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.

Not appropriate for beginning of the year
This is very hard for me to implement until almost the third quarter. Week one has decimals, and my fourth graders don't learn about decimals until the third quarter. It also jumps into division and bigger multiplication early. I wish it had a few weeks of third-grade review.
Affixes Resource Pack
This was not exactly what I was looking for for a supplemental resource for my 5th grade class.
Not a "spiral" review
I wanted to like this so much because it was exactly what I wanted. But, Week 1 already starts talking about coordinate grids and volume, standards that aren't covered until later on in the school year. I wish it was organized by the order the standards are taught throughout the school year instead of introducing end-of-year concepts in the first few weeks.
Great Activities, but Limited Direct Instruction
This resource is advertised as a week-long unit, but in practice it functions more like one day of direct instruction followed by several activity days. There is only one PowerPoint for teaching, with the remaining materials focused on practice.
I expected a more balanced structure with instruction and assessment spread across multiple days. For example, I was able to use the PowerPoint and the second day’s worksheet within a single class period, and the “scoot” activity worked well for a separate day. However, I’m unsure how I’ll incorporate the remaining sketch notes, which might have been more effective if directly integrated into the initial instruction.
One major area for improvement is alignment between instruction and assessment. The assessments and task cards include concepts like “to be” verbs and auxiliary verbs, but these are not introduced or modeled in the PowerPoint. This created confusion for my students and could easily be developed into an additional day of instruction.
Overall, the materials are well-designed and engaging, but the unit would benefit from more comprehensive instruction and clearer alignment between teaching and assessment.
This starts off Running
I thought the assessments would get progressively harder but I do not feel I could start these assessments with my students week 1. I may be able to start them mid year

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 :-).
