This was a hard product to use during distance learning.
I purchased this product, especially for the task cards. Unfortunately, the task cards did not open or fully load so I was not able to use it at all. I was extremely disappointed and would like a refund for this purchase.
I ordered this on accident, as I was looking at two different resources. I am tutoring a 6th grade student and wanted a resource that provided daily work. Overall, the structure just wasnt appealing to either my student or I. It proved a little to difficult to do digitally. Perhaps it would be better to use for in-person learning. Overall, it just wasn't for me.
I have started using this for my students as spiral review. However, it is definitely not for spiral review. It covers mid to end of year concepts in the first week. I am having to do A LOT of editing with this, which I wish I didn't have to do since the reason I bought it was to make distance learning easier.
This was SO repetitive. My daughter would cry when I would say that we were going to do our grammar work. There is really no variety or way to make this a fun learning experience. The power point program was by far the best part of this resource. I had high hopes for this, but unfortunately we will not be using this grammar resource.

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.
