⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Melanie C. said, "These were great for extra review for my students after they had finished their class work. They liked the variety of questions and the change from our regular math work. I liked how easy they were to use and now that I have them laminated, I can use them for many years to come."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Emma T. said, "I loved this card set! The fact that the names and numbers were the same but the scenarios different to change the operation each problem was describing was excellent for my students to practice visualizing the math they need to apply for a situation. I also appreciate the possibility of differentiating since the first four sets containing only one decimal in the problems and the last two sets containing two decimals in the problems."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kelsey L. said, "My students really struggle with determining the operations used in story problems! This is a great way for them to focus on the words and figure out how to solve."
