We are using this resource to help our student prepare for SBAC's and they are very helpful with summarizing. They also are useful for homework.
I wish I could get my money back. It repeats itself over and over. So many language concepts are left out. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew that ahead of time.
We are sorry to hear this, Joanne. We do provide two weeks of material in the preview file so that teachers can assess if this resource will be a good fit. The repetition is part of the spiral review format, which helps students retain the concepts.
This does not connect with google slides or my classroom.
Upon opening this resource, I noticed that the resource itself varied from the preview that was presented. the topics are highly specific, and the pages require intricate cutting and gluing. However, instructions on how to do so to pass our to students or even for myself are not provided. Instead, there is a one sentence summary and small photo of what the completed page should look like. I am extremely unhappy with this purchase, and I wish I could return it. The amount of time needed to decipher, sort, and create instructions for each page makes this more trouble than if I had not bought it in the first place.
This resource is definitely not worth the cost. The pages are simply scanned in with a Google form as an add-on. The Google Form is not student-friendly. I wasted $20 and still have to create my own resources for students. I have never in all my years of purchasing from TpT been so disappointed in a product.

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.
