Tangled with Teaching

These forms can be used to help increase students’ math engagement, involvement, ownership, and accountability. They also provide great repetition and practice for students. There are several useful ways to use them: 1) Copy enough double-sided forms for each student for the entire year, then insert into a 3-prong folder or binder for students to bring to math each day. This method is great for allowing students to compare and review work from previous days and also for the teacher to check t

I created these cute, colorful math posters to help my students recognize various types of lines and practice using geometry line vocabulary words commonly seen on standardized tests.

This multiplication fact challenge is designed to encourage students to learn their times tables facts 1-12. Each student has their own clock (included) with their name on it displayed somewhere in the classroom. Once they pass off each of their times facts (for example, all x3 facts) they earn a sticker on that number on the clock. When they have mastered all of their multiplication facts and numbers 1-12 have a sticker on them they earn the "It's Time to Times" award (included) and a prize.

This counting challenge is great for encouraging students to count by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and 25s. Each student has a star (included) with their name on it displayed somewhere in the classroom. Once the student can count by 1s to 200 they earn a star sticker to put on their star. Once they complete all five challenges they earn a shooting star award (included) and prize.

I designed these Pre-K Skills Practice pages as an introduction to homework for my preschoolers to reinforce the things we are learning in class. They would be appropriate for new Kindergarteners and possibly first graders too, depending on the child's specifics needs, skills, and exposure. Specific skills focused on include: name writing shape identification color review & following directions beginning sound number recognition & writing #1-10 one-to-one correspondence & counting letter

This hundred chart makes number relationships so much easier for kids to see. Even numbers are green, and odd numbers are blue, with the 5's and 10's columns filled in blue and green. Poster file size is 22"X22", but can be re-sized to fit an 8 1/2X11". Use it as a poster in the classroom, or print and laminate individual mats for your students.

This challenge is a fun way to motivate young students to learn to count by Odds, 3s, 4s, 20s and 10s starting with any number (like 7, 17, 27...) once they have completed the Shooting Star Challenge to count by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and 25s (free in my store). This challenge is WONDERFUL for helping students with addition and preparing them for multiplication. Each student has a star displayed somewhere in the classroom. Once they can count by 3s to 100 they get a star sticker to stick on their

This is a challenge I use in my classroom - I've used it in Kindergarten and First Grade, and it could be adapted and used for 2nd grade. The students have to count by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and 25s individually to earn a sticker to pass off each number on their shooting star. When they have passed all of them off they earn a shooting star award and prize (mine contain starbursts, glowing stars, star stickers, etc.) It's a great way to get kids motivated to learn to count.
