These flashcards are perfect for practicing fluency and could be used actively in class or could be left in the background for students to consider and reflect on during class to keep practicing their fluency and learning.
Unfortunately, TES will not allow the upload of google drive files / folders. However all these flashcards have directly downloaded from google drive into powerpoints and should be in good format when simply reuploaded to google drive again.
These too a long time to make sure they were fully developed and the sets should be complete with every possible combination, if there are any mistakes then please do let me know!
If you would prefer to look at addition and subtraction flashcards, then for physical flashcards, then please consider these: physical flashcards
If you would prefer slightly cheaper flashcards, then there are a set without dinosaurs: digital flashcards
OR a set of addition and subtraction WITH dinosaurs! Then maybe this set of flashcards: dinosaur flashcards

Addition and Subtraction Flashcards Fluency [Print ready]
This is a set of flashcards that have addition and subtraction of numbers between 0 to 19. There are approximately 461 unique flashcards with answers.
There are four sets which are:
from 0 up to 10 addition flashcards
from 0 up to 10 subtraction flashcards
from 0 up to 20 addition flashcards
from 0 up to 20 subtraction flashcards
There are coloured versions and black and white versions, the colours are blue for addition and orange for subtraction to help with quick selection of specific types of problems if you decide to mix and match them.
The answers are organized so they can be printed on the back of each relevant flashcard by printing double-sided and flipping vertically (right-to-left or left-to-right).
There are both word documents and pdfs as well.
I hope this resource helps with quick and easy mathematics practice!

Planet Unknown - MYP Unit Bundle
This is an IB MYP Unit plan - Planet Unknown- which is ideal for students relating Science and astrophysics / astronomy. This unit engages students with planets and their structure, balance, gravity, space travel, the idea of scale and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding. It contains many, many resource links suggested for this unit and makes clear a set of points that students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of the unit. It also has some clear and interactive formative assessments and summative assessments.
This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It is an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 7 weeks (assuming 3 lessons a week).
If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner that is for mathematics and probability, why not try the Unlikely life MYP unit planner or perhaps one based on measurement and related concepts, then consider the mathematical vision unit plan or for geometry and artworks, try the Art of Mathematics unit plan or finally for fractions, decimals and percentages and lots of other mathematics, try the Problem with Money unit plan. For science and young students in MYP and which would be an ideal first unit, then consider: Nature of Science - introductory unit plan. For around the same age group - for MYP 2 / 3 an alternative IB MPY unit planner would be: the Food and Energy unit planner of the Growth unit planner.
If rather for younger students you want to integrate both mathematics and STEM, then you might consider: MYP Artifical limb unit.
For older MYP students, then I would suggest The NGSS related - Zero impact (sustainable housing) or for an Interdisciplinary unit - the Electricity / lightning MYP STEM IDU.
The Power of Magnets - MYP unit bundle
This is an IB MYP Unit plan - The power of magnets - which is ideal for students relating Science, mathematics and physics concepts. This unit engages students with the concept of magnets, static electricity, lightning, the sustainability of magnets, how are magnets made, how do they work and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding. It contains many, many resource links suggested for this unit and makes clear a set of points that students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of the unit. It also has some clear and interactive formative assessments and summative assessments.
This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It is an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 6 weeks (assuming 3 lessons a week).
If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner that is for science and is for biology, then the characteristics of life and body systems unit plan would be suitable. For astronomy / astrophysics, then the planet unknown unit plan would be suitable.
If instead, you are seeking a mathematics unit plan and is based on measurement and related concepts, then consider the mathematical vision unit plan or for geometry and artworks, try the Art of Mathematics unit plan or finally for fractions, decimals and percentages and lots of other mathematics, try the Problem with Money unit plan. For science and young students in MYP and which would be an ideal first unit, then consider: Nature of Science - introductory unit plan.

Characteristics of life and body systems - MYP unit bundle
This is an IB MYP Unit plan - Characteristics of life and body systems - which is ideal for students relating Science, mathematics and biology concepts. This unit engages students with the characteristics of life, body systems, organs, diseases, microbiology and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding. It contains many, many resource links suggested for this unit and makes clear a set of points that students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of the unit. It also has some clear and interactive formative assessments and summative assessments.
This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It is an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 8 weeks (assuming 3 lessons a week).
If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner that is for science and is for astronomy / astrophysics, then the plant unknown unit plan would be suitable. If instead, you are seeking a mathematics unit plan and is based on measurement and related concepts, then consider the mathematical vision unit plan or for geometry and artworks, try the Art of Mathematics unit plan or finally for fractions, decimals and percentages and lots of other mathematics, try the Problem with Money unit plan.
