I liked having this resource to guide me when teaching this standard. However, I think it was a little difficult for my 3rd graders. We haven't gone over some of the contenct, but that may be just because of the order we teach the language standards in our county.
My students struggled with this concept, however I was trying to teach it in a hybrid learning environment. It probably would have been more successful in a everyday review situation. Work like to try again during a "normal" year.
Good Resource
Thanks for the resource
My students were frustrated with this resource for their morning work. I give them time to work on it then go over all of it as a whole group. Unfortunately, my students are to quick to "shut down" and are not in the mindset to be able to understand what we're doing.

I was looking more specifically for the place value riddles with decimals. Any of those or any in the future?
My apologies! I misunderstood. I do not currently have this, but I will consider this for a future set!
Do you have any of these with decimals included? Love the place value riddles, would just need decimal place values for my 5th graders.
Hi there! Yes, here is the link! https://teacherthrive.com/product/math-tiles-decimal-place-value-on-a-number-line/
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.
Hi Pamela. Sorry about that! I have fixed the file. You can just redownload it from your profile.
