Coaching In Math K-5

 Many of us are excited because we know as Easter approaches, so does SPRING BREAK!  I have compiled a few Easter digital activities that are super fun and engaging for you students.   In this Easter Egg Hunt Google Slide activity, students drag the matching easter egg product to the correct multiplication fact.  Do you students still need practice with basic multiplication facts?  If so, this is the product for them.   Grab yours here! If you think your students need practice with addition and subtraction using mult-digit numbers, this resource is just for you!  I have created a resource for just addition practice, a resource for just subtraction practice, and a bundle where you can get BOTH resources.  Even if you aren't currently teaching multi-digit addition and subtraction, your students STILL need practice!       .                       Addition Practice Sub...

  Wednesday is St. Patrick's Day!! Do you have your classroom ready?   To make St. Patrick's Day a fun day your students will remember forever, you need: Supplies to turn your room upside down!  You know the leprechaun is mischievous and creates such a mess in the classroom!  I love using green acrylic paint and a paintbrush to "trick my students and making them believe the leprechaun stepped in the paint and left his footprints everywhere. Gold candy like butterscotch or chocolate wrapped gold coins are a perfect treat to leave somewhere hidden in the classroom.  Students love searching and finding the POT OF GOLD! Activities!!  Yes, you need fun activities to fill your day.  Fill a basket with all of your favorite St. Patrick's Day books for early finishers!  Students of all ages love a great picture book, especially one that brings excitement to their day!  Mrs. D's corner has an amazing list! Mrs. Winter's Bliss has a ton of A...

 Basketball finals are upon us and many of your students LOVE sports.  I know my elementary students look up to our high school students and really LOVE those students who are athletes.  Typically, in a NORMAL school year we would invite some of these athletes to our elementary schools/classrooms to help run our unit reviews and of course during basketball season, we make it a competition within our classrooms and use the brackets!  This year will be a little different but our students will still be super engaged because I have included some MYSTERY PIXEL ART for the review tasks!  As the teacher you will use one bracket and divide your students into 8 groups or use multiple brackets and let your students compete individually!  I love to take the defeated players in one competition and move them to another bracket so that the competition can continue. Students who advance within the bracket continue in the competition (depending on how you set up your comp...

 Don't you love Read Across America Week?  So do I!  I love how you can incorporate Dr. Suess Themed activities into other content areas to encourage students to read and to promote engagement.  I have created these Mystery Pixel Art activities for math!  You can choose what skill you want to focus on!  Choose Addition within 20, Multiplication Fluency, Addition and Subtraction within 100 and 1000, and 2 and 3-Digit by 1 digit Multiplication.  Don't wait!  We are halfway through Read Across America Week!

 I am a huge believer in supporting fact fluency.  I know.... I know... Common Core and every blog you read (from the experts) say..... "No more drills!"  I do believe we have to teach strategies and the understanding of facts before we can force students to timed drills.  They need to work with the numbers and discover how the math works.  However, once you are through that process students really need to work through practice and assessment. I've created this fluency packet to take you and your students through the entire process.  I have even offered some of the materials for FREE!!  Scroll down to read about each component of this amazing resource. Get the entire resource packet here ! This packet contains 4 different ways for your students to practice multiplication strategies.  These include arrays, groups of, repeated addition, and mixed practice.  Students match up multiplication sentences to each of these strategies and even have the...
