Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade counting money, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation.

In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

I keep a folder of these on my desk. When a lesson runs short I have something ready that actually fits what we just covered.
