Math facts made fun!

Motivate your students to learn their math facts with Kicking It! Math – A program for increasing math facts fluency 


Want to get your students excited about learning their multiplication facts? Try this fun karate/martial arts incentive program with your class! I’ve been using this program with my students and have found it to be a very successful and motivating way for my students to learn/memorize their multiplication facts. It only takes about 5-10 minutes a day to incorporate in your math block and your students will be begging to take timed tests each day to pass to the next level and earn their black belt in multiplication!

The program works with brain research and introduces only a few new facts each day. It engages both written and oral practice at school and at home. As students pass levels, they earn new colored “belts” on their way towards earning a black belt.


Daily Math Review Spiral MathReview

In what ways are you helping students to retain math concepts and skills they have been previously taught?

What additional opportunities for instruction are you providing your struggling learners?

I have been using Daily Math Review in my classroom for the past five years, and I have to say that it has had the biggest impact on my math instruction by far!

This resource includes 36 weeks of daily math review for fourth graders. Included in each week are 5 problems for each day Monday - Thursday with a weekly quiz that includes 2 of each problem types for a total of 10 problems.

In addition to the already prepared math review pages, I have also included a fully editable version of the pages in PowerPoint so that you can customize to meet your students' needs.

Don’t stress! The Groundhog is OK, but he is trapped inside his burrow! Your students must read and complete the activities to remove the burrow slime.



§The main goal in this mystery is to encourage reading.
§The work involved to solve the clues covers skills such as comprehension; spelling; vocabulary; synonyms; cause and effect.
§Students must highlight the evidence in the reading to prove their answers.
§The discovery format requires a fill in the missing letter process to unlock clues. The alternative B-Edition requires full answers, but, this means students must check-in with you or somewhere in the classroom to collect the clue instead.
(Please note, that the groundhog is OK and is just trapped asleep inside his burrow).










OH NO! Spring might never come if the groundhog isn’t rescued!

Calling all Math Detectives to solve WHO kidnapped Chuck, the Groundhog.
A fun way to spiral review, check out the individual grade editions to find out what math skills are needed to unlock the clues!
(Available in editions for 1st – 6th grade)

Mental Math - 100 problem cards that encourage your students to solve math problems in their head quickly! 




Youtube link Mental Math Tiles

You can use these mental math task cards as a math warm up to begin your math lesson, or use as a time filler throughout the day.

Students each have ten digit cards on their desk as you read each card. The students use the digits to keep track of the math tasks they are computing in their head. They love being able to follow along with each task and eventually end up with the correct answer.

I use these cards for whole group, small group, and even partnership lessons.

These mental math problems will increase your students' listening, problem solving, and computation skills. 
Be sure to check the preview for 4 example cards to make sure it is the appropriate level for your students.






Do your students need practice with capital letters/capitalization? We all know that capitalization rules, but sometimes our kids always seem to forget where and when to use a capital letter.

This packet will help your students to learn and remember all of the times that they should use a capital letter in their writing. Best of all, there is no prep for you - just print, copy, and go!

The capitalization rules are printed at the top of each page to help your students recall. 








Giveaway! Thank you for previewing our products. Please follow the link to enter our giveaway! It goes live on Wednesday, January 16th, 2019!
