Kids loved it and I will definitely use it again in the future!
Students were truly engaged - I appreciate the time and effort that went into creating this resource!
My 5th graders absolutely love these! I ended up having to get the bundle becuse they ask for them so often.
Kids had fun. I used it on our half day before Christmas break.
My students had a blast doing this right before break! They were engaged and worked as a team to break the code!
Students were able to crack the code without having to complete all the tasks. I also found a mistake in one of the grid questions.
My students loved this and it was a great review activity before break
Great resource!
This was so fun for the kids. They can work independently and was a great review and fun activity before break!
My 4th graders encountered a lot of little errors making it not so independent. Cute ideas though.
I was looking for something fun to switch up my regular groups the week before winter break, and this was perfect! My students were engaged, excited, and loved it!
I used this with my tutoring students. They loved it! I remind them that problem solving skills are something they use every day.
