Materials are good, but they focus in just a few strategies of critical thinking, used repeteadly. I miss some more depth and breath on thinking teaching
Very nice product.
I took a chance on this.....I was hoping for something that the student could use independently. But it's created for the classroom where the teacher would speak as s(he) "flips" through the slides.
I'll still use it in my own direct instruction.
I like this, I would love it if I could move things around to match when my kids learn concepts. I don't want kids to have an activity that I would use as a morning work, individual, on-their-own, to frustrate them because this has fractions before they've learned them, or whatever. I had kids who became very frustrated by the fact that they hadn't learned something at the beginning of the year, but it was introduced in this packet. It also meant I had to either do a mini-lesson for them, weeks before something was introduced, or just show them how something was solved when we went over the answers, rather than letting them figure it out, because it was a morning activity. I don't like that about this product. I understand about copyright, however, there are other sellers and products that do allow editing, which I've since purchased so that I CAN tailor to my classes. This was somewhat of a waste of money.
Hello. I hope you will find a use for this in your classroom at some time in the year. I understand your desire to prevent your students from becoming frustrated. I have always found it beneficial to present unfamiliar concepts to my students, as this is representative of "real life". I can assure you that if you do use the first few weeks of the resource as a a guided instruction opportunity (see teaching notes), your kids will catch on in not time and be off and running. Also, please note that an entire 2 weeks is provided in the preview. Best of luck with your school year!
Good resource.
The roles are really clear and the students responded well. I am using these also for information texts.

Hi. This resource looks great, but I have a few questions.
1) Can students do all of these activities each using just one set of tangrams?
2) Is there an answer key with pictures of the tangram solution?
Thanks so much!
Hi Joy,
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, they need just one set for each student, and there is an answer key included.
Is there an answer key?
Yes, there is.
Hi! I love this product but have had difficulty finding 4 inch Tangrams to fit. Do you have any suggestions for how much to scale it down in order to allow for standard sized tangrams? Thanks in advance!
Oh no! What size are your tangrams? Please email me and we can troubleshoot this together. Info@gottoteach.com
