My children are so excited about Christmas. It actually started before Thanksgiving, since I try to get a feel for what they're wanting. (With a large family, I can't buy all our Christmas presents in one month!) This excitement has only continued as we've put up our tree, wrapped presents, and consumed all the sugar. (So much sugar this time of year!) Despite all the enthusiasm over this festive time of year, we still have some learning that Keep Reading...

{FREE} Least Common Multiple Practice for Grades 4-6
It's crazy how connected math is. Often children struggle in higher math because they didn't fully grasp a concept from earlier years. Children probably aren't going to understand decimals without understanding what a fraction is. Can they grasp the concept of negative numbers and not have good number sense? What about adding fractions without common denominators when they don't know their multiplication times tables? Every lesson in math is an Keep Reading...

Symmetry: Finish the Picture Pages {Drawing Mirror Images}
One beautiful math concept that is seen all over the natural world, as well as in art, music and more is symmetry. And what I love about symmetry is that even very young kids can learn about and see symmetry in the world around them, making this a great topic to explore with mixed ages.

Place Value Pirates: FREE Printable Math Game
Teaching kids of different ages or abilities can be a challenge. One topic that I find is very easy to differentiate, however, is place value. Currently, my kids are in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade.

So I can easily work on the underlying concepts with all of them together by using different numbers. To provide some extra practice for my 2nd and Keep Reading...
Candy Corn Math: Hands On Activities {With FREE Printables}
I will admit it, I have a deep love of candy corn. It's really a huge blessing that it's only available for a short time each fall, because otherwise my health and weight would suffer. And so, since candy corn is such a special treat, and I obviously needed an excuse to buy it the second it hit the shelves, I had to combine it with learning for some fun, hands on candy corn math. Because how else can you justify buying the giant bag from Sam's Keep Reading...

{FREE} Pythagorean Theorem Word Problems Task Cards

I always like to introduce it in a fun, hands on way to make sure kids understand the meaning before I present a formal definition. But then, kids need lots of practice. And since mindlessly solving problems for a or b or c with no context gets tedious and boring, why not practice with these Pythagorean Theorem Word Keep Reading...
Number Bonds with Apple Slices {FREE Printables!}
Understanding how to compose and decompose numbers is a very important skill in the early grades. This means understanding how to break numbers apart or combine numbers in different ways. For example, 3 and 4 make 7, but 2 and 5 also make seven. A great introduction and visual for kids is to create rainbows to show different combinations. But I also love the visual of number bonds. So this simple apple math lesson combines a fun, hands on tool Keep Reading...
