Hi Emily,
Although I appreciate your review, I’m a bit confused. Your feedback that the worksheets were nice doesn’t correspond with the 2-star rating. If you were not satisfied with this resource, can you please let me know why so I can address any concerns you may have had? This is a really cool resource that requires virtually zero prep for teachers and allows students to apply their math skills to real life, and I really hope it brought more value to you and your students than is reflected in your star rating.
Thank you,
