What teachers say about my digital pixel art:

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students love pixel art, it is something they ask for regularly! I used this as practice for our test over mean, median, mode, and range and it worked perfectly. Level 2 was a good challenge as they often struggle with rounding, and this forced them to practice it with accuracy! Thanks!” - Elizabeth O.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This resource was excellent as a self-checking practice of the Pythagorean Theorem. It was just at the right level for grade 8 and the challenge level of the first part (only calculating for the hypotenuse) was good for my IEP students and made them feel as though they could accomplish the same work as their peers.” - Stephanie H.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students LOVE this pixel art!!! To have them complete them was great!! Never saw the kids so quiet.” - MrsPs Schoolyard
