A reliable and high-quality resource—thank you so much!
These posters were clear and nicely presented. They made for a good reference wall as we discussed which strategies students used to solve the math problem.
Very helpful resource to show remind students of the strategies we teach and they can use when solving math problems.
My class regularly refers to these anchor charts during our number talks. It's great to see them value the process as much as I do.
Good resouce
Great package. All liked it.
I loved using this resource to review! It was also nice to be able to post the posters around the classroom!
I love these posters! Super helpful for my students.
