What educators are saying

These worked great. I have a few students who need a little extra help with it, but the questions are never too overwhelming for them. The multiple questions for one situation really help to reinforce going back into the question to look for the information.
I use this resource with my 2nd and 3rd graders during math time and loved it! The problems included in this resource where super applicable to what we where learning about in class.
