Great Resource!

This Identify the Operation Using Key Words digital resource was a great tool for helping students distinguish between addition and subtraction. The key word practice was clear and easy to understand, and the digital format kept students engaged. It helped build confidence with word problems and worked well for independent practice, review, and small group instruction with minimal prep required.
