Great daily resource
I used these daily for a long time for warm-ups! I just wish the digital version came with this.
requires preteaching
This resource is helpful when students have received direct explicit instruction on how to utilize
A helpful resource
I have used this resource for a school year, and my students use it wisely
Place value
A nice visual representation. Easy to follow and understand
Helpful Resource
This covers just 4th grade content and doesn't review the 3rd grade content. Because of this, I had to give this to my students in mid-January rather than mid-August. However, I love that this is editable. And I also love how students get so much practice from these different problems

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.
