⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jessica Angulo says, “This is my 3rd week of using this and I LOVE it. We got training on "Math talks" a few years ago and I love the idea but was having trouble coming up with daily problems for middle schoolers and this file has problems that are perfect for my kids, it has been SO nice to have these questions already prepped and ready to go. Thank you!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lyndsay P. says, “We used this DAILY! I saw a HUGE increase in my students' number sense over the last 8 months. I will CONTINUE to use these next year on a daily basis. So quick and easy with some great strategies for solving problems mentally. Such a huge help in everyday life!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah E. says, “Can I give more than 5 stars!! I heard your presentation during a conference over the summer and had to try these with my kids. They LOVE these. Many times, they will ask to do multiple days at once. I've seen many of my kids confidence grow when a new strategy clicks. These have been the perfect class starter. I would highly suggest these to any math teacher!”
