Thanks for your enthusiastic comment, Cookeze! These activities have all been used with my 2nd, 1st, and Kdg math students and they LOVE using them in centers! I hope you and your students have tons of fun using them too!
(If you like these, you might like Decks, Dice and Dominoes with activities I also use often with my little math students. Very similar format with directions card, etc.)

These math activities are well defined, with clear instructions, both for the teacher and for the students. Presented in very legible print with pictures that are engaging for students. Although these activities are intended for young students, I teach high school kids with significant disabilities, and these are just perfect for us. for example,each answer space allows for larger handwriting, so kids with fine motor issues do not get frustrated. BZTeacher, you are my new favorite :-)

I'm pleased to know that others will also have a chance to benefit from them. In an effort to always improve my work, I value your opinions. Please give feedback on any other products you use. If there is anyway I can help you, don't hesitate to contact me!
