Hey Reader, Do you know what color was really associated with St. Patrick? Because it was not green! 🙃 I know what you're thinking. Brooklyn- what does this have to do with math? Sometimes you have to think outside of the box when it comes to getting your kids excited about the area of a trapezoid okay. (Say it isn't just me lol.) I wanted to share three simple + meaningful math activities you can use in your classroom right now.. and one of them will explain why my first statement is what my kids will learn about as they practice the area of trapezoids! And guess what- if you happen to purchase one (or more) of these activities, just reply back to this email with your TPT Oder ID # and I will put you in a drawing for a TPT Gift Card!! There will be 3 winners! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 This week I am personally using the St. Patricks' Day Facts + Stats Color by Number for Area of Triangles and Trapezoids I also made an editable template- you're welcome!! Students learn facts like this as they solve math probs: -How much vegetable dye does it take to turn the Chicago River green every year? -What color was really associated with St. Patrick- it wasn't green! -What are your chances of finding a four leaf clover? P.S. You know what I really love about this activity- it's something your students have probably never seen before. I had the idea to start making these last year & my goodness my kids light up when I bring one out. Here are two other fun themed activities that take no prep on your part: Area of a Circle Digital Activity my 7th and 8th graders always love. Last but not least, I actually made this digital activity for proportional tables to mirror some test bank questions my 7th graders were struggling with last year! Don't forget to reply back to me if you purchase one of these activities! You will get put into the TPT gift card drawing! I will announce the winners in next week's weekly email.

Hey Reader, Are you a business teacher author by chance? Or thought about being one? I started a TPT store my first year of teaching. It was just for fun, really.

My TPT + business operations are my side hustles. But here's the thing- my side hustles bring in way more than my teaching salary- and that's with a...
Reader, I made an update to one of my best selling facts + stats line & I didn't want you to miss out on it, because it is perfect to use this week! 🥳 I have three versions of an Easter Candy Facts and Stats for math students- the questions are SO fun.

The third version is fully editable so you can enter your own questions! 🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬 Students...
Reader Guess what- my 7th grade spiral math homework is published! ✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️✏️ It's for the teacher who- Doesn't want the homework to be too easy, or too hard, but just right. I don't want kids to struggle too much- some don't have help at home. But I want it to be meaningful! Doesn't want homework to be overwhelming, but wants to provide that basic skills practice.
