Excellent note only missing one thing
I love using this in class, it would be perfect if it included an exit ticket portion, I love the power point piece and how brightly colored it is i just feel as it would be more complete with the independent practice.
Super fun and engaging Book Bit
This was super helpful and a great resource before we started the book. It's great and the kids were hooked and super engaged!
Complete Resource
Almost everything you need to teach idioms, adages, and proverbs. It still left me with some questions about the clear differences between adages and proverbs, but it had plenty of examples to help me decipher the difference. Overall, I think this is a tricky standard, and this helped to clarify.
Would be great for an easily-engaged class!
I think that this resource would be awesome if you had kids who were easily bought into learning. I haven't used it yet because I worry that it will fall on deaf ears with my current group, but will be utilizing it eventually!
Thank you!!!
This resource was easy to use and well-organized. My students were engaged and clearly understood the lesson objectives. It saved me a lot of prep time and aligned well with what I needed to teach. I would definitely recommend this to other teachers!

Hello! Do you have Order of Operations Set 1 & 2 bundled by chance? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for asking, but I don't have a bundle for these two resources.
Where did you find your number tiles?
Hi there. There are printable tiles included in the PDF. The Google Slides version, of course, has movable tiles.
I had a student try #12. We think there is a problem with this set. Specifically the 4th one down from the top.
Thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry, but I don't understand the problem entirely. Can you please email us at info@teacherthrive.com and perhaps send us a screenshot? Thank you!
Does it come with a teacher answer key
Yes, an answer key is included.
Sorry, I don't know where to respond to you. It is on Order of Ops without Exponents card 1 question 4...10-[] x 9 / by [] = 28...we think the subtraction should be addition.
Hmmm... Very strange. It seems that the file reverted to an older version. I think I have it corrected now. You can redownload a revised file. Please email me if you are having any issues. GotToTeach@icloud.com
Love the work my students need to do to reason through this. I believe there is an error on card 1? I think for problem number 4, it should be an addition, not a subtraction sign. My students found the error! So proud of them. Please let me know your thoughts.
Hello! Thank you so much for contacting me. I am not seeing the error.
4 + 9 = 13, 13 x 2 = 26, 26 - 5 = 21. Are we referring to the same problem?
