My students loved it.
I used this as a review activity for my 7th graders
I saw the blog post and tried the activity. It was definitely challenging for some of my lower students, but not impossible.
I love the fact that this is editable so I can move things around. Being a new teacher I was unsure about what to send home for homework and wanted to find something that was a couple problems a night. This provided me a resource to use and be able to edit.
I bought this to use as a warm-up in my 5th grade learning support math class Every day has a word problem, fraction, shape, and a math computation problem. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I was hoping for more variety.
