"Writing expressions from words has always been an area my students struggle with. I was going to do task cards, but found this instead and I love the way it kind of gets them into it slowly with vocabulary and then has them writing the expressions."

Great value
Standards-aligned
I teach Bilingual Math and it is very hard to find good Spanish resources. I purchased it because I needed something for that day but when I downloaded there is no Spanish resource. Only English, I did reach out and still waiting for the Spanish version. It was such an inconvenience because I was relying on this purchase.
