Great resource to use for addition help, math centers, and homework.
This was used during RTI for the tiered students. This was a good, engaging activity.
A great resource.
This was a great activity to use with my students who are having a hard time choosing the correct operation when solving word problems.
This product is great for new learners of multiplication so they can work through their misconceptions for addition and multiplication.
Loved being able to add this to their Math journals!
Used as a beginning of the year activity to get students to identify mathematical thinking patterns.
Thanks!
