I am curious about preferences. In order to sell items on Teachers pay teachers it is recommended that you make pretty thumbnails and have borders. The write up and pictures of the resources are amplified to highlight the work that you put into making the source.
However, I have sold more of my plain math worksheets than any of my detailed slide shows that took hours to create.
Do math teachers want to see the product for the steps? Do they just want something to print and go for practicality?
The best resource that I have posted is a drill generator. It has Macros that my brother helped me refine that creates drill worksheets (120 or a 50 versions) with answer keys to check student work. It has all the operations and even adding and subtracting without having to carry. It even has long division with steps! There are numerous sheets in this file to provide you with hours of teaching resources. I have used these at school and to teach my own kids their multiplication tables. You can use them to track progress of the learning which admin and parents love. You can turn it into a game for the most improved by timing them. You can even set the numbers to make the questions really easy for young learners and harder for older ones. The possibilities are endless!


However, I am going to guess that a teacher might grab this fun activity that is only one page. It has been highlighted with flowers and graphics.

Which do you think will sell more?
