Loved the resource but please change the answer for C and D around for the practice assessment number 4. Ick is the answer but that is letter D and my students picked up on the bad word it made.
Several Errors
I haven't used this product in a long time and as I was going through it, I found several errors. There are 2 choices or wrong choices in quite a few. I would suggest that you go through all of them to see if there are 2 options that are both correct and a few of them have the answers in the wrong order.
I was looking forward to using this resource. I was disappointed to find that although it claims to be for a full week, it is actually only 4 pages per week. If I want to use the 5th day resource, it requires purchasing yet another product by the creator. That should be stated up front. I am now forced to decide to either waste my money and not use the product at all, or spend even more money for the day 5 activities.
I didn't find this resource made for distance teaching. It's more like the other products made for in-person teaching. I was not really happy with the purchase, because I thought that with the title it was more complete in the PowerPoint when it was not.
This resource was a bit complicated and I did not feel that it made it easy to use for 5th grade. I used it a few times, but I wish it would be 100% aligned with common core requirements, which I feel it was not

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?
