See why over FOUR HUNDRED teachers are using these patterns & numerical expressions lessons in their classrooms! 

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I loved this unit! Being able to scaffold from whole group, to independent, and even challenge my higher level students was great!” -TpT Buyer 

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These lessons were challenging and engaging for my students.  These are tough concepts to teach, but my students were learning and excited!” -Laura G. 

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This lesson bundle was perfect for teaching the standards quickly and to the point!  They allowed students time to practice in partners and then independently before assessing using an exit ticket.  My students grew in confidence and with the different types of practice were able to do well on their exit tickets!” - Wendolyn B. 

What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Each of Sally’s packets follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!
