My school district has put a lot of focus on multi step word problems. Instead of making up things for my self, I was able to purchase this and it save me a TON of time! The slides were cute and engaging, and I loved that it was self checking! The kids were able to work in partners, independently and in small groups, and I was able to rotate around to check in with their progress. This was a game changer! Thank you!
