• I was so thankful for these during distance learning and will continue to use them in class.  I needed to challenge my students who needed it and this was the perfect pack.  Fun and engaging and was just the problem-solving resource I was looking for.
• These are puzzles that my grade 2 students could do independently and they found them engaging. I also appreciate the differentiation and variety of puzzles. 
• I used these over the summer last year and plan to again this year with the puzzles we haven't solved yet!   I love the level of thinking it requires and allows conversation about math!
