What TEACHERS are saying about this product:

♥ "This has been a favorite in my third grade class! I had mixed ability teams of three students work together to complete the area race and everyone was engaged, working together, and practicing measurement skills. I would suggest this to any third or fourth grade teacher without a doubt!"

♥ "This is a great game! My students of all levels teamed up and blew this out of the water! It was such a joy to see how deeply engaged they were and how well they were doing. It was a great investment!"

♥ "This was our best math activity all year. EVERY student was fully engaged and participated. Behavior problems vanished and teamwork was better than ever. A great competition and a great way to practice the standards!"

♥ "This was soooooo fun! My 4th grade math class is a wee bit competitive and once they got to plan 3 and 4 it got harder and they were so engaged trying to solve the answers first!"

♥ "I left this for a substitute because it was so well organized and didn't require any prep except copying. The students LOVED it! They were telling me all about it the next day when I returned. Going to see if there's one for perimeter. ?" (Great news: YES, THERE IS!)

♥ "My third graders were very engaged while working collaboratively to find the area of these floor plans. I loved that this product was so easy to differentiate which allowed me to meet the needs of all of my learners. Fun activity!"
