—-”I have loved using this resource to supplement my school curriculum and to help with ideas for enrichment and intervention with my small groups! The students love the activities and are very engaged for each lesson!” – Education to the Macs
—- “Oh my goodness! I can’t say enough amazing things about this resource! You have thought of everything! Vocab cards, anchor charts, small groups, exit tickets, warm ups, amazing interactive lessons! This has saved me hours in planning! My students love this!!!” – Amy W.
—”I am so in love with this resource! The Lucky Little Learners team has thought of absolutely everything a teacher would need to teach from this resource! When they say a whole math unit these guys actually mean it. The only thing you may need at all, is a few manipulatives, which most will have in the classroom already. These are my new favourite resources. Also, math, which I used to hate teaching, is my new favourite part of the day.” – Heather G.
I can’t wait to hear how this money unit helps your student achieve success in a positive, encouraging, teacher-friendly way! Send me a message after you download and let me know how it’s going. Happy teaching!
