Here’s what other teachers are saying about this resource:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mary M. says  “I used this to teach my 7th graders. We didn't get to it last year during the shutdown so needed something to teach the concept pretty fast. Perfect for what my students needed.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Althea A. says “I really liked that the task cards included dot plots and tables rather than all lists. Students were more engaged than they would have been doing regular worksheets.”

Unfortunately, my 6th grade students found these task cards a bit too challenging and didn’t enjoy them as much as I had hoped. The difficulty level seemed higher than expected, and clearer rounding instructions would have helped make the tasks more accessible. With a few adjustments, I think they could be a great resource for upper grades or advanced learners.

I love the idea of this resource. However, I teach 6th grade and we do not use calculators. Many of the problems have decimals, some were lengthy (so I had them round). Not sure I would use again, unless, they have a calculator for this specific standard. Great for 7th and higher that can use a calculator.
