I am sorry you are disappointed. I have had a preview loaded for this product since it's been uploaded. I am sorry if you had trouble viewing the preview. If you have any suggestions to improve my description I would love to hear them. This is the first time I have received this feedback and I have sold over 30 copies of these menus.

I just downloaded the Math Menus for fourth grade and am very excited to implement in my classroom. That being said, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for introducing menus to the whole class. My kids this year are HORRIBLE at reading directions so this isn't something I am just going to be able to distribute. I was thinking of doing a kind of jigsaw activity so that we can hit a lot of information at once, but I would love to hear your thoughts or advice. Thanks in advance, Newbie Teacher!
I usually introduce the math menus after teaching a concept, usually the day after the assessment. I return the assessment to the kids so they can get a clearer picture of their level of understanding. I will say something like "If you scored mostly 3s on your assessment then you are probably at a level 3 and this column is probably most appropriate for you." Then I review all of the tasks and show students the materials. I give them a lot of time on the first day to begin a project. After that, this becomes a rotation in my math workshop (that can be explained in math workshop management pack). Hope this helps!!
