I believe that for math instruction to be effective, it needs to be FUN, differentiated, and targeted.

My math units have been extremely popular (I feel so blessed!) on TpT because they provide all of those components. They are differentiated and filled with fun math stations and activities.

Each unit is typically 4-5 concepts and each concept has: "I Can" and "Students will be able to" posters, differentiated worksheets in 3 levels (below level, on level, and advanced level), at least 1 math station (including all materials, recording sheet(s), teacher directions, and kid-friendly student directions), and at least 1 cut and paste activity.

I plan on writing a blog post about each as I go as well so, like I said, keep checking back!
