Instant Math Practice

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm here to let you in on a great product I was asked to review.

Teacher Created Resources is a landmine of awesome products!!  Have you ever checked out their online store or catalog?  Let me tell you- you will not be disappointed!

They sent me 3 Instant Math Practice books- for grade levels 1, 5, and 6.




As you know, I am a math remediation teacher for grades K-6, and I was so excited to get these little gems in my hands!  I never know what I'm going to be teaching from day to day because it 100% depends on student need.  So, now that I have these, when I walk into a room and a teacher asks me to work with Jane or Bobby on X, Y, and Z skills, I simply grab Jane or Bobby's grade level book and find the XYZ skill they need and BAM, it provides me with the INSTANT MATH PRACTICE I need to work with them!

Here's my take on these resources:

** Each page as 6 different sections to practice the same skill.  I love the options!

**  The book offers a pre and post test assessment.  Using these, it helps to know what is being retained and what still needs some work!

** There is a standards glossary!  That's right!  If I go into a classroom and my cooperating teacher says, "Today I need you to work with Hank on K.NBT.4, I can quickly look it up in the standards glossary.  It just doesn't get much easier than that my friends! :)

** The pages are perforated.  I love this because I am a binder junkie.  I have binders for my binders practically!  So, when I get a new resource, I like to tear the pages out and put them in my binder.  This makes it easy for me to pull out a page and make a copy!

There you have it!  Go check out what other great resources wait for you over at Teacher Created!
