Math Work Mats

So ever since we switched to common core math three years ago and dove big into five frames, ten frames, double ten frames, and part-part-whole mats, I have tried to make my life easier!!  The first year we started with our new math series, I was always running around frantically trying to get copies made every lesson of a ten frame or a double ten frame.  I got so tired of always having to get them copied that I finally smarted up!!!  I made a set of these popular work mats and printed myself a class set of 25, laminated them, and cut them out.  Now all I have to do is pull my file of ten frame mats and they are ready to use!!!  Let me tell you, it has made my life so much easier!!!

Here we are this week using our double ten frame mats to subtract larger numbers.  It was so easy to just grab this file of mats and we were ready to learn!!

Here are some of the other mats that I also included in this file!!

5 Frame Mat

10 Frame Mat

Double Ten Frame Mat

Part-Part-Whole Mat

Ones/Tens Mat

Ones/Tens/Hundreds Mat

As we start using these in the next couple of weeks, I will be posting how we use them and what we do with them.  I'm telling you, these make my life a little more sane!!!

I'm posting these as a FLASH FREEBIE in my store for the next 30 minutes, so if you read this in time go and snag these work mats up {HERE}!!

Please leave me feedback if you download!!

Valentine's Day!!

Valentine's Day is getting closer!!  Are you a lover or a hater of Valentine's Day?  I don't mind it, I do love the pretty pinks, purples, and reds for sure that brighten up my classroom!!!  Anyways, I put together my 3 kiddos gifts for their teachers at school.  My inspiration came from {HERE}, but I tweaked it a bit to better fit me and my kiddos.  You will need these supplies:  mason jar, Valentine M&M's, mini marshmallows, and honey teddy grahams.

 Mix all these ingredients together and then fill your mason jars, put the lids on attach label!!  VOILA, an easy and fun Valentine's Gift for your teachers!!

If you would like the labels, click on the picture below to download.  Graphics and fonts were courtesy of: Cara Carroll, Ashley Hughes, and Krista Wallden!!

Hope this helps you out!!!
