Here's what a teacher like you said about these math activities!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DeAnne said, "I pull these out a few times a week and have the students try to solve them using their white boards. Then, I display the answer on the overhead projector. The students love doing this. I've gone through all the cards and now am repeating them. They still get so excited every time I pull them out."
