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.

Dragon Decimal War Cards
Fire-breathing decimal dragons!
Here is a set of dragon cards with decimals numbers. My students love playing war while unknowingly learning to compare decimal numbers.
This set is designed to encounter equivalent decimals frequently. The cards have needless zeros in order to help students learn that more digits does not necessarily mean a greater number. Also, this set is designed with a repeating digit that changes place values in order to require students to pay attention to the locati
