Number Nest

A fifth-grade math unit that teaches fraction operations through a space-navigation 'Flight Academy' theme, establishing rigorous procedural skills alongside classroom organization routines.

A hands-on, highly visual math lesson that uses color-coded grids and 3D block models (sizes 1-5) to guide students from concrete counting of area and volume to abstract understanding of perfect squares and perfect cubes.

A hands-on student placement mat and tracking organizer. The top half provides a physical 1:1 scale alignment grid for building 2D perfect squares, while the bottom half contains designated layer-by-layer build mats for counting and stacking 3D perfect cubes.

A comprehensive second-grade math bundle focused on multi-digit addition, subtraction, place value, and regrouping. Students develop fluency with two-digit algorithms and explore the base-ten system up to three-digit numbers through guided teaching, independent practice, and quick checks.

An engaging, differentiated task card game designed for fourth graders to review second and third-grade clock skills using Judy clocks. Students play in cooperative or competitive modes, moving from five-minute intervals up to multi-step elapsed time challenges.

A scaffolded, two-page student worksheet that guides students step-by-step from sizes 1 to 5. Page 1 focuses on building, sketching, and writing out perfect squares (2D area), while Page 2 covers building layer-by-layer and writing perfect cubes (3D volume).

A comprehensive second-grade math sequence focusing on building absolute fluency in two-digit addition and subtraction, alongside deep conceptual mastery of three-digit place value and regrouping.

A comprehensive daily practice sequence for 3rd-grade STAAR place value standards (TEKS 3.2A, 3.2B, 3.2C, 3.2D). Features targeted daily worksheets with authentic STAAR-style questions, bubble-in grids, and a master answer key for teachers.

A comprehensive, step-by-step instructional planning guide for teachers. It details lesson pacing, key vocabulary, concrete hand-on activities using unit blocks, questioning strategies, and solutions to common student misconceptions.

An introductory math lesson on positive and negative integers using real-world scenarios like elevation, temperature, and financial transactions. Includes interactive slides, a guided practice worksheet, and a detailed teacher facilitation guide.

A highly visual, color-coded anchor chart that serves as a student reference guide. It contrasts 2D perfect squares (area) with 3D perfect cubes (volume) for sizes 1–5, explaining base, exponent, and building-block models with clear layer-by-layer breakdown.

A middle school / algebra lesson on solving multi-step linear equations with variables on both sides, including single/double distribution and decimal values. Includes a comprehensive 4-page scaffolded worksheet and a self-checking partner match activity.
