Very, very hard. Not suitable for my remedial 4th graders. I hope to use it later in the year.
Hi Kim! I hope that you will stick with it! I promise that it will get easier as time goes on. I also have a 3rd grade version (it doesn't say the grade level on the resource:-) that you might want to check out.
Haven't used these yet, but I can't wait!
Thank you!
Great product, but I would've liked more directions. Also, the second page doesn't print upside down. It took a little while to figure out how to put it together. Once figured out, it was a great foldable and the kids had fun with it!
I love this format, but this is more of a preview with instructions needed than a review. I started this day one of 6th grade and realized much of this had not been taught yet. It is a great review, but my goal for this was an independent transition. I will reserve judgement until further down the road. If you are teaching 6th grade at the beginning of the year, you will need to do some direct instruction with this.
Hi Debi! I use this a preview and a review. The first two weeks are completed whole group, with me modeling each item. After a few weeks the students can complete alone; I definitely don't expect them to know all the concepts at first and they know that some of it will be new information. The most important component is correcting and discussing the work whole group; that's where so much learning takes place. After 4-5 weeks your students will take off, I promise! They not only understand all of the concepts but they are familiar with the format as well.

Would you ever consider making a bundle of all of these math tile centers?
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.

I have tried printing this for my students, but unfortunately the file is too large. I've even tried only printing custom pages. Is there another solution I could try?
Some PDFs with a lot of graphics may look fine on your screen, but may not print out correctly.
Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Reader

This is probably a really dumb question, but is there only one right answer for some of these? Or are there multiple choices for some of them, especially the addition and subtraction problems?
Thanks so much! This is such a cool resource!

Hi Alexa! There can be some slight variations to some of the sets as far as answers go. However, some topics only have one correct answer.
Are all the sheets in this bundle 3 digit x 2 digit? (My students only need to go up to 2 digit x 2 digit.)
Thanks!
- Andrea
They are all 3 x 2:-(. However, I will definitely be making a version that is 2 x 2 later this fall
I'm interested in the product but I am curious if it includes Multiplying a 1 Digit number by 3 and 4 Digits as well? I know some of my students are struggling with that concept too.
Thank you! This looks awesome.
Hi Sarah! Unfortunately, all of the problems are multiplying by 2-digit factors. Thank you for your interest, though. I will look into making a set with two problems on one card that only multiplies by a 1-digit number!
