I purchased this resources to use with my students that are distance learning. I saw the standards that were included and purchased it with the assumption that I would be able to find the standard that I was teaching and give the assessment/quiz for that specific standard. While the material is good, I do NOT like the set up and it does NOT allow me to use it in the way that I want. It is set up weekly with NO table of contents. I did not intend to use it weekly. I thought that I would be able to use it for the standard that I was teaching. If you want to do a spiral review at the end of the year after you have taught every standard, then this would be a good resource. However, if you are wanting a product that will you will be able to use per standard, do not waste your time. Each link is just a link with no idea what you are downloading. I am going to keep looking for a product that I can use.
Good resource, but too few lessons are drilled throughout the year. It'd be great if more grammar lessons were incorporated.
The file is in a PDF. I wanted to modify it by using each page as a background in slides and then placing text boxes over it where I wished students to write or place images. I got the free extension small PDF to convert the files into PNG files but the document is too large. I tried several other extensions but nothing would work without paying additional money. I reached out to the seller to give me the document in PNG, or to break it in 10 page segments so I could use it. She refused. Now I am stuck doing screenshots which come out blurry.
This was WAY too difficult to start the year with. It would have been much better to spiral at the beginning with the standards from the grade level below, rather than starting with the end of year standards.
<p>This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since many teachers follow different timelines.</p><p>Since Daily Spiral Reviews cover all standards, students are exposed to concepts they may not have had formal instruction on. Unfamiliar content presents a great opportunity for you to build background knowledge and assess where your students are before you even teach a specific lesson.</p><p>The best way to use this spiral reveiw is to begin with whole-group lessons where you model and discuss each activity. I don't worry too much if there haven't been formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more as a preview. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format, and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students work independently on the review, you will spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. </p><p>As mentioned above, students will encounter concepts they are unfamiliar with. This is a GOOD thing, I promise! We don't always have the answers or know the procedures to solve problems. It's beneficial to expose students to "unknowns"; they become less sensitive to the uncomfortable feeling of "not knowing" and are less likely to panic. </p><p>However, you can always use the editable version (open in PowerPoint) to remove/change any review items you like.</p>
I really like this-like others have said, I haven't found a way to have students record their name so that makes it somewhat unusable.

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?
