I thought that the first few were pretty decent, but it quickly became redundant. I wanted questions that students could have engaging conversations, but this left me disappointed. I teach all levels of 8th graders.
These were basically just the icon with boxes around it. I wish I didn't spend $5.50 on something I could have made in a very short amount of time.
Not what I was looking for. The resource is billed as good for Google classroom. Rather than a series of slides my students can go through, it was in Google forms. I can't use it. The powerpoint presentation is somewhat helpful, but I wish I hadn't bought it.
I wish there was a little more to this resource for the price. It's three google forms. Serves the purpose, just not super engaging for my kids.
Only four slides for the same price as ones with 12 or more?
Definitely unfair! My students were confused! Also, the slides weren't up to the standards and detailed as her other lessons. Makes me think what other lessons are the same as this one before I go and purchase anymore.

I am interested in purchasing some of your tiling sets, but I have a question. Does each set contain 30 different puzzles or do they contain 15 different puzzles which are provided in both black/white and color? Thank you for your time. The sets look great!
Hi Dana, thanks for your question! Each set contains 30 completely different cards.
