Met expectations

Great value

Standards-aligned

This is a well-crafted and highly engaging resource for teaching two-step equations. The integration of Skittles provides an excellent hands-on, concrete model that helps students visualize the algebraic process. It kept my students motivated, focused, and eager to solve the problems. It is a fantastic value for the price and a great addition to any middle school math curriculum.
