About the store
I am a certified elementary education and elementary special education teacher. I spent one year of my career as a special education first grade co-teacher. After that, I moved the general education Kindergarten, then to fourth grade as a general education co-teacher, and most recently, fifth grade as a general education co-teacher. In my years as a fifth grade teacher, I specialized in math as the grade level became decompartmentalized.

Print on colored paper or colored cardstock and give one to each child. Call out numbers and cover with bingo markers. I used tens frames to call numbers but you can just say a number from 8-20. The kids were begging to play again!

I use this work mat for unit 3, lesson 8, explaining strategies. I also used it for review, and to remind students during word problems which strategies they can choose from. I printed in black and white on colored paper and stuck it in a wipe off sleeve! Students loved this workmat

Print on colored paper and tape on students desks when learning word problems to remind them of the necessary key words that can get confusing. I remove them after 3 months and students are successful in identifying the key words after having them on their desk for months.

I currently use Envisions Math 2.0 however this resource can be used with many curriculums. This can be used with a pencil, copied on color paper in a sheet protector and used with a dry erase marker, counters can be used also. There are many different options for this resource to be used. There is an additional Christmas tree work mat included in the resource.
