Students answer
Students complete a few multiple choice or matching Tiles while you listen for the misconception.
Regroup
Use missed Tiles to decide who needs another example for base-ten blocks, expanded form, rounding, and comparing numbers.
How this fits
Use LearnTiles to plan place value games for teacher-led small-group instruction. The same Deck moves from class code to student play to a report-backed next step.
