Looking for an alternative to those regular boring rectangular flash cards? Need to find a way to help your students understand that 4+3=7 therefor 7-4=3? The triangle flash cards will help! Print them on card stock, laminate, and put them on a ring for kids to practice in the classroom or send them home at the beginning of each new school year!

This is a great tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. I choose to use it as a teacher table assessment to see where my students are currently performing. Each tasks encourages students to use manipulatives. While it is set up for bears, you could use any manipulative. Tasks include patterns, one step story problems, skip counting, challenge ideas...etc.

In today's math world, our students are given a plethora of strategies for solving math problems. This lesson provides students with an alternate algorithm for solving division problems using the skills they have already learned in multiplication.

Create pictures while reviewing concepts such as greater than/less than, addition, subtraction, tens and ones, between, before, after...or make up your own clues!

This bookmark is a great placeholder for your student's math journal, and also serves as a reminder for: Some and Some More Some Went Away Bigger, Smaller, Difference This would also make a great item to send home for parents when they are working with their child.

This is a fun game for students working on their coin counting skills (less than $1.00). The teacher will need to print 2 copies, one to cut up for the class and one to use as the answer key.

Students will play a game called Sums and Differences on a Strip to practice basic addition and subtraction facts to 18. This document is in word so you could modify the strips to go higher or lower than 18. The object of the game is to be the first player to cross off all the numbers on the number strip.

Great for math stations to allow students time to practice the concept of doubles plus one.
