About the store
I have taught at the elementary level for more than 20 years in a high needs area. Students love you for being their rock and depend on you because their needs are great. But that also means that they are still children who are curious, excitable, and love learning.
I am currently teaching kindergarten but I've also taught first, third, fourth, and fifth. I love the joy found in teaching the littles. I also enjoy creating learning tools and games for my students because the joy of teaching is seeing them need you less.

Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions Spiral Card Game
Otherwise known as "I have...Who has?"
Starting with the start card, students must convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa. They must match their question card to another's answer card in order to link the cards like dominoes. The game cards can be laid in a line or in a spiral shape.
The start and stop cards in this game provide accountability to find the right answer. If students make a mistake, they will find that the stop card is not in the right place.
