Who is this resource for?

This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students in grades 6-9. It comprehensively covers the topics mentioned, and provides a variety of practice opportunities to suit learners of all different levels and learning styles. 

This resource is ideal for teachers who teach in person, online, or hybrid. Digital versions are included with all resources to make lesson planning a breeze! 

What's Included?

Most of the resources in this bundle will be downloaded as a PDF file in color. If a digital file is connected to that resource, as it is in most cases, you will find the link in a large font on page 2 of the PDF. For resources that are printer friendly, the remaining pages of the PDF can be printed and copied. All relevant resources include an answer key at the end of the file. 

I do not use zip files, instead I package my resources in PDFs as a single document from start to finish. Make sure to scroll through the entire resource if you’re looking for an answer key or alternate version!

Please take a look at the individual product preview files to see more of the resources included in this bundle.
