Every math teacher knows that basic math fact fluency is critical to student success in any math procedure involving computation. The goal I have for my students is that they know the basic math facts on sight as well as they know the letters of the alphabet. After students have had ample time to practice the facts, I give an assessment to determine which students have mastered them. Those students who are not yet up to speed then begin participating in my weekly math fact plan. This plan

This resource contains a bank of math problems designed to compare the two teams playing in the 2025 Super Bowl – the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It includes 120 math problems (and answers) that involve the following skills: - Subtracting to find how much greater than or less than - Adding to find the total - Multiplication of whole numbers - Division of whole numbers - Finding ratios - Percents - Finding the mean - Rounding to the nearest tenth - Rounding to the nearest hund

Using brain teasers and lateral thinking problems is an excellent way to engage your students’ attention immediately at the beginning of class. Students thrive on these types of questions because they are puzzling, challenging, and fun. I learned this strategy early in my 43-year teaching career, and in this resource I am sharing 230 tried-and-true questions that I gathered over those years. That’s one for every day of school, plus 50 more to replace those that won’t work for you or to use as ne

This resource consists of 19 drag-and-drop digital activities on EASEL and 2 digital assessments on EASEL. There is no teacher prep, printing, or grading involved. THE ACTIVITIESEach of the 19 activities involves finding the total value of 8 sets of coins. On their devices, the students figure out the value of each coin set. They then drag the numbers representing that value to the answer boxes for that set. For differentiation purposes, half of the activities involve lower totals, and the rest

This resource consists of one drag-and-drop digital activity on EASEL and one digital assessment on EASEL. There is no teacher prep, printing, or grading involved. THE ACTIVITYThe activity involves sorting 20 pictures of real-life 3D objects into four spaces entitled CUBE, CONE, SPHERE, and CYLINDER. On their devices, the students simply drag and drop each picture to the space where it belongs. When finished, students click on the “Check” box to get instant feedback on their answers. Any inco
