A great resource I used for discovery day. I used it as an interactive lesson when parents visited our math classroom and participated and partnered with their child for a fun activity.

I have found this resource to be invaluable for my class. I came into a class that had not had a full-time teacher for over a year, so we are working on regaining the basics as well as new concepts. This resources is a great way to reinforce what we have learned. This resource has been very beneficial to our learning environment.
