Hi! I am thinking of purchasing a few resources and noticed this statement when reading about the pattern blocks math centers: "Save money and purchase this as part of the Hands-on Math: Build Your Own Bundle!" I tried to follow the link, but it takes me to your store. I've also looked for a build your own bundle in your store but can't find it. How does it work? I'm interested in bundling what I want to purchase. Thanks!!! :)
