The students LOVE this!
Creating a visually engaging page that allows the students to understand the concepts is great! The students all love it when we make our pages!
Thank you!
This was an easy way to introduce the lesson and then have a resource to refer back to!
Great Resource
I love this resource. I use it in my 4th and 5th grade gifted resource classes.
Problem solving
I love this resource. I use it in my 4th and 5th grade gifted resource classes.
Fabulously crafted roots units
I scoured for a resource that would organize the roots and include plenty of ways to practice using them in meaningful and memorable ways. I love the way these units are laid out! I appreciate that it uses a small number of roots, but helps students by including multiple words using the roots so that they can truly see how the roots can help them determine the meaning of words.

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.
