Hi again--Our new 63 test math unit has many multiplication sheets, as well as addition, subtraction, division, geometry, simple algebra, word problems, money, etc. This might be a useful unit for you! I used it throughout the school year with my third graders very successfully. Here's the link to the math tests below. Mary

Help
For more than 35 years I have taught primary grades in a K-8 elementary district in the greater Los Angeles area. I have been teaching third grade since 1991. I also serve as pianist for our school's Glee Club. I have developed a very teacher-friendly series of 32- page reproducible instructional units which include one booklet for each school month (Sept.--June), 3 multicultural units--(Martin Luther King's Birthday, Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year). My USA geography 32 -page units cover all major regions of the United States. These units have been in use since 1983, and have been very popular with both students and teachers. They have withstood the "test of time" and are not trendy and easily outdated.
