My students used this passage as a part of a substitute packet. When I returned they all wanted to talk about it and read it again so we could review it together!
I love the questions that are in this resource. They are rigorous and highly engage the students with the texts. I used it with fourth graders, and I found that asking all of the questions of them was a little hard, so I chose 1 to pose each day. This resource really is great for pushing students beyond the basic comprehension level!
I use these as a review for students who need some extra practice on 5th grade skills. I really enjoy the editable version because I can focus on the skills students need the most practice. Thanks for a great resource.
Good resource - just starting to use it. One of my students discovered that there is a problem with #8. The question ask to make a triangle that equals 1 if the parallelogram is 2/9. It appears that you can only make a triangle that equals 8/9s. Maybe we missed something - if so, would love to see the solution.
We used this spiral review for bell work for the first semester, and I found it beneficial for the students. It really helped them practice several different skills.
