Description

Give students practice finding equivalent fractions through a hands-on puzzle. They place the digits 0–9 in the missing spaces so the fractions in each pair have the same value.

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.

What’s included

  • 30 printable puzzle cards
  • Google Slides version with movable number tiles
  • Student recording sheet
  • Answer keys
  • Teacher setup tips
  • Printable 0–9 number tiles

How to use it

Use the cards after an equivalent fractions lesson and ask students to explain how they know that each pair names the same amount. 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.

5th Grade Daily Math Spiral Review [DIGITAL]
Amber P.

I love this product and use the paper version when we are face-to-face. I like how the language spiral has the handbook attachment, so I wish this product had one they could use as a reference.

4th Grade Daily MATH Spiral Review Morning Work [Editable] Test Prep
Jenna P.

I would suggest this for a fifth grade student. I was hoping for several weeks with 3rd grade content. The first week has long division which new 4th graders do not know how to do. Long division is not a "quick" concept to front load them with. I found that I would need to purchase 3rd and 4th grade books which is not cost effective.

<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>

Just not user friendly. Content is very basic. I should have bought just one of these to try out first. Does not translate well to Google or Canvas.
