A card game for one or up to 21 players! I call these 21 multiplication facts the "turtle facts" with all the easy zeros, ones, twos, fives, and tens omitted.

If practicing alone, order the cards with their partners until all cards have been used. If practicing in a group, divide the cards between each player. Decide on the starter & have that person b

This is a word document, therefore changes to target behaviors can be done with ease.

Copy a single page or several front & back, then simply fold in half to create student booklets. Each page contains handwriting paper & a space at the top for illustration. This can also be used as a math, language arts, or even social studies or science resource. Pre-write the topic in the box, then have students generate extensions for that topic (example - COMMON NOUNS.... school, boy, paper 4,3,7 FACT FAMILY.... 3+4=7, 7-4=3, etc.).

This is an awesome resource for teaching students how to represent numbers using standard form, expanded form, and word form. After displaying on the LCD or Smartboard, simply input a number within the 4-square center and then SELECT-DRAG the numbers, number words, and base-10 visuals into the visual organizer. This can also be copied & distributed to the students to use simply as a spelling resource. The 4th square is designated "OTHER" to be used for additional illustration or number sentence

Given a state almanac, students can use this 6-part visual organizer to locate & display important information on the state's capital, location, state flag, economic earnings, events, & recreational spots. Once complete, cover the state & capital (1st square) with a sticky note, and have the students try to guess the state each belongs to as an activity extension.

Given a goal, students earn points with a a single hand-held hole-punch. Once their card is complete, they can cash in! This works well in combination with a token economy or to motivate whole groups of students to reach book goals, skill mastery, homework expectations, & more!
