My students Love Tile Games!

My students have early release on Friday, so math is only 45 minutes. They love playing math games as a way to review the skills we covered during the week.

Challenging and Fun!

This was a great activity to use on the first few days of school as a fun team-building activity! This is challenging but also fun for my students (GT).

Math is Fun

I was looking more specifically for the place value riddles with decimals. Any of those or any in the future?

Teacher Thrive

My apologies! I misunderstood. I do not currently have this, but I will consider this for a future set!

Pamela S.

How are these digital? I cannot find the link on how to download the slides? Please advise. Thank you.
All they are to me is a pdf.
