These resources are ready to use as is. They are well organized and the images are great. My students found these to be very engaging. – Samantha C. November 18, 2021
This was a great way to help students with tire evidence. It’s difficult to find tire treads, so this was a great way to get students a bit of a hands-on experience. – Allison I. April 18, 2021
Wonderful bundle. Saved me time, engaged my kids, and they learned so much! – Mrs Pea May 26, 2021
