"A wonderful comprehensive activity set. My students enjoyed being able to do a challenge activity once done their regular math work. Great for extensions;)"

Description

This item is ideal for independent practice in your math classroom!

**This item is "Retired" meaning it is not getting new updates! enjoy as is! **

Each “planet” in this pack includes a series of carefully selected math questions.

As the students complete these they will master basic problem solving concepts and complex thinking skills. There is a mix of word problems, simple questions and fun activities to keep your students challenged and engaged.

After each pack there is a ‘collaborative’ activity to complete with a partner.

After a quick check of the booklet (answer keys included) students receive a badge/sticker for their successful completion of the level. They can then check off their achievement on the ‘tracker’.

This is low prep for the teacher as there is limited laminating and cutting required!

Perfect for “math by myself”, Daily 5, Test Prep, provincial testing prep, independent work, early finishers and homework.

****THIS ITEM IS A PDF- IT IS NOT GOOGLE SLIDES/GOOGLE READY. You may use this item in your google classroom as a PDF using a variety of extensions such as Kami or TPT's handy digital tool (this is the green 'digital tag' on the item), but it is NOT a google ready item at this time. ****

If you have any questions please contact me by email. tinasteachingtreasures@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you make this work in your classroom.

This was a great math center for my students that were on or above grade level in math. They had some questions but were very engaged and excited to move on to each section!
