My kids were having a hard time figuring out what operations to use. This helped get the numbers out of the way so they could focus on key words.
Great activity for small groups and center work.
I am looking forward to using this again with my kids when we start up. Thanks!
Great!
Thanks!
You are welcome. I'm glad you found it useful.
This has been great!
Thanks!
I love the symbols for numbers! It is challenging but allows the students to focus on the events in the word problem and truly understand the operations and why.
I'm glad to hear they are useful. Thanks for leaving feedback.
These are great for interventions and progress monitoring for IEP's
