What would YOU spend it on? It depends on your goals for this year. Last year I noticed that a LOT of students are really struggling with learning their addition and subtraction facts, so I did a little digging and discovered why - and how to solve the problem! Most children I've worked with this year were expected to memorize all their facts, without explicit instruction on strategies for solving them - but not all facts are created equal! We use very different methods to solve:

2 + 6 = ?    and   12 - ? = 7    

and yet another strategy for     8 + 10 = ? 

My solution? A step by step, 19 strategy program with posters, worksheets and even short videos to help you teach the HOW of learning math facts. 

If you're wanting to do more graphing with your students and just don't know how you'll make it happen every day or even every week, this is for you!


Of course, sometimes you need a print and go resource so you can just get through ALL THE THINGS. I get it! That's why I just finished putting together these back to school worksheet packets for first grade! Your students will practice and review kindergarten math and literacy skills as they color, write, and cut and paste - and with 4 fun themes you're sure to have some happy kiddos!





No matter how you'd spend the gift card if you win, I wish you the best of luck, and a wonderful school year - AND here's a set of 5 free graphing activities, because EVERYONE deserves to be a winner!
