Met expectations
This digital lesson on absolute and relative location is well-organized, but it feels more appropriate for lower elementary students. The content and examples are too basic for upper elementary, so I had to adjust it for my 5th graders.

Hello Abi!

I create this product for 2nd and 3rd grade. If you look at a product's specs (next to the prevew/cover photo that you see up top), you can see the grade level it is intended for. Knowing that information, I would love if you would consider re-reviewing the product with 2nd/3rd graders in mind. :)

Have a great day!Kate
