After all the ranting and raving about INB, I purchased this product. I just don't have the time for all the cutting and glueing that is involved with INBs. I wish there was a Quick Notes version similar to Lovin Lit's QuickNotes for her INBs.
I taught 6th grade and used the 6th grade version with great success. So when I had a 5/6 combo I purchased the 5th grade version. However, I found this to be very hard for my 5th graders. I will not use for 5th grade.
This was a very good resource. It was repetitive and didn’t spiral as much as I would have liked, but when used in conjunction with other spiral resources, it was a gem!
The Depth and Complexity Mega Bundle was a bit deceiving. The Author of this project only used a few of Sandra Kaplan's prompts symbols. Some the illustrations used for the prompts do not match Sandra Kaplan's. We are mandated as a Gifted/Talented School, to implement Sandra Kaplan's Curriculum. The Author should have made that clear when the buyer "previews" her project. I would not have purchased it, had I know the illustrations do not match. Hilda Marino
Hi Hilda. All of the preview images and thumbnails clearly show the icons that are used. I am not sure which previews you’re referring to that confused you on what is included.
I wish there was a teacher's copy of this set, but it's a well put together resource for the students!

Have a question about this resource? Log in to ask a question.
Is there a way to make the numbers less "squished?" ie. the 11 is hard to read. Thanks!
I am not sure what you mean. Are you opening the file from the latest version of Adobe Reader?
I've worked a couple of these with extreme difficulty. What is the number next to the pattern block supposed to represent? for example on task card 3, 1/2 = hexagon. It would be helpful to have an example.
Hi Carin! The number is telling you what that piece equals. You use that information to determine what the other pieces equal. Check out the answer key and it might make more sense.
I believe card 22 is unsolveable due to question 4 and card 12 is also unsolveable because of clue 3. Could you please check and verify in case I am mistaken
Hello. This resource doesn't have "clues". Are you referring to something else?
One card correctly filled in would help. I don't understand what students are supposed to do.
Hello! There is an answer key at the back of the resource with pictures of how the pieces are supposed to be arranged for each card.
