Another amazing resource!
I, truly, have never bought a bad resource from Teacher Thrive! Everything I've ever purchased, including this one, has been top notch and perfect for my students!
I'm alternating weeks between the prefix/suffix items and the Greek/Latin roots one. I love how each one teaches the topic clearly.
Thank you!!
Awesome Resource!
This is a great resource for review and class instruction!
Engaging Resource
Long division is typically not a favorite among my students, but this resource was fun and engaging!
Wonderful resource!
I am so pleased with everything I've gotten from Teacher Thrive, and these worksheets and assessments are just as fantastic as her other products. These are the perfect addition to the sketch notes, and I'm so glad I got both!!
Thank you!!
These are frickin' amazing!!
I just started using these this past week, and not only are they incredibly helpful, my students loved doing the sketch notes! They are looking forward to completing the next ones.
Thank you!!

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.
