Growing a STEM Classroom

I know I am always excited about the start of shark week, so I hope you are, too!  It is one of the most exciting weeks of television all summer long and it always seems to coincide with my own beach vacation...yikes!

Quite a few sharktastic bloggers have teamed up to create a Shark Week blog hop that is full of shark-related freebies!  Be sure to swim on over and stalk some of these other fintastic bloggers and their amazing resources!  Sharks are always a HOT topic in my classroom.

Math Mats are what I use for my Friday review in math. I copy the two pages side by side on a sheet of 11 x 17 paper. Each week, I use a different food or candy item (in small quantities) and the students do mixed fact practice while enjoying the treat! Highly engaging and fun! Also includes a certificate (to celebrate mastery) and a list of optional extension projects (for those who finish early). These are a ton of fun! This one uses Gummy Sharks!

Students look forward to doing math, especially with candy!  Get ready for your students to take a CHOMP out of math with this great pack!
