So this is how the TPT sale works:

This Wednesday, February 25, I will put my ENTIRE TPT STORE on sale for 20% off.
(That's off of EVERYTHING, so dust off that wish list and get ready to shop!)

But, that's not all!  
In addition, TPT will give you a 10% bonus off of the price that was already 20% off, so you will get a huge 28% off and that's almost 30% off!
But you have to use the code HEROS at checkout to get the bonus 10% off.

OMGosh, that means you can grab my new Common Core Numbers 1-10 bundle and use the activities in the directions to help you quickly and easily assess most of the CCSS for geometry and Operations of Algebraic Thinking.
