IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for ARCTIC ANIMALS!

Here in the heartland, we are preparing for subzero temperatures this weekend.  Brrrrr.  Seems like the perfect to study arctic animals.

If you are looking for activities that will challenge your learners in math, language arts, and logic, look no further.  PUZZLE PACKS promote critical thinking while working with non-fiction information and content vocabulary.  

PUZZLE PACKS  provide differentiated curricula for GATE and enrichment students.  Fast finishers find these puzzles fun and challenging.  A daily puzzle makes a great bell ringer activity. Or, place a packet of puzzles in one of your stations.  All of these puzzles are print and go.

If you would like to try PUZZLE PACKS before you buy them, here is a FREE sample:

IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for PUMPKINS!

 

It's pumpkin season! Celebrate with these pumpkin resources:

PUMPKINOES are domino-style math activities that are perfect for your fall math centers. These games and challenges exercise skills ranging from counting to critical thinking; basic operations to H.O.T.S. 

PUMPKINOES are open-ended, easily differentiated, and useful for all elementary classes. Take a peak:

How Many Ways? – Fall Edition is an open-ended, math bulletin board that is perfect computation practice for any elementary classroom. Challenge your students' critical thinking and fluency to determine how many ways they can reach the target number by combining the values on the pumpkins. The task is similar to Boogle^(TM) for numbers. Post the operation symbols and the target number you choose to easily differentiate the task.

These Latin Squares math puzzles will challenge children's deductive reasoning skills and help them acquire the critical thinking needed to solve Sudoku puzzles.  PUMPKIN SQUARES begin with an easy, 3x3 grid appropriate for young learners. The tasks progress gradually, increasing in difficulty up to a 7x7 grid. PUMPKIN SQUARES are available in print or digitally on TPT Easel.
