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.

Do you have a bundle for all of your tiles?
We no longer offer this bundle on TpT because it became too difficult to manage, and teachers didn't get instant access to their purchases. We were able to automate the build-your-own-bundle process in our off-site store, which makes the process a lot easier for teachers and us.

Will this be updated to include black and white pages like the other sets of math tiles?
Hi MaryAlison! The graphics I used for this set did not have a black and white version. I will be redoing this set with different graphics so that I can include a black and white version. Printing the colored version in gray scale will give you a similar effect.
