Great content!
This is a well prepared package for teaching simple sentences!
Super resource!
This is a great resource for teaching compound sentences!
This worked well with my students.
There is so much to this resource! I love the PowerPoint - so helpful to my students!
Exactly what I was looking for..
This 5th Grade Grammar Bundle from Teacher Thrive is exactly what I needed for consistent grammar instruction throughout the year! The lessons are clear, organized, and easy to incorporate into our ELA routine, and I love that the practice pages and assessments are included. The year-long format takes so much guesswork out of planning and gives students plenty of opportunities to learn, practice, and review each skill. A thorough, teacher-friendly resource that saves me a lot of prep time!
This 5th Grade Bundle from Teacher Thrive is an amazing collection of resources!
I love having language, grammar, reading, and math materials all together in one place, making it easy to reinforce important skills across the curriculum. The activities are well organized, student-friendly, and useful for whole-group lessons, independent practice, review, or extra support. Having so many resources in one bundle saves a tremendous amount of planning and prep time. A great value and a resource I can use throughout the entire school year!

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.
