I have been a math teacher for almost 20 years at all age levels, homeschool through college, private schools and public schools. I've taught gifted students, challenged students, and students who thought math was BORING. My favorite students to teach, though, are the ones who think they can't do it.

Was Algebra created just to torture students in math class? No way! It developed BECAUSE of real life… just watch the video to see…
While I’d like to believe that students LIVE to watch MATH videos… I know that’s not always the case. Sigh. This worksheet will help keep the students on track, either at home or in class. Or perhaps you could use this as a pop quiz!
An introduction worksheet set to Evaluating Expressions. This can be used as a stand alone product or in conjunction with the Algebra Vocabulary: Part 2 (Evaluating Expressions) Video.

Welcome to BRAIN BUSTERS!
My students often ask, “Can we do Brain Busters today!?!?”
Brain Busters are puzzle packets designed to keep the kids thinking and working those critical thinking muscles…but in a FUN way!
Brain Busters are great to keep in the classroom as productive time fillers. If students finish their classwork early, this gives them a fun project to go to instead of talking or becoming disruptive. (I do not allow my students to take their packets home. They just keep them in school and work on them as they can.)
BACK TO SCHOOL EDITION:
Subject Scramble
Sudoku
Magic Squares
Word Search
Crossword*
*I love this crossword, because it teaches kids fun facts about schools around the world!
DISCLAIMER: I actually call them “Brain Busters Candy Crushers” in my class. Each time a student finishes a packet, he/she gets a small piece of candy. You could also have a prize box of some kind. Who doesn’t love prizes!?
*ALL Kaffenate Brain Busters have been student-tested (no children were hurt in the testing of these products) to insure clarity and accuracy.
**We are all humans, and despite several levels of quality control, mistakes STILL get though sometimes! Please contact me ASAP if you find a mistake. I’ll fix it immediately and send you a free product of your choice!

A Kaffenate Mini Module is a one page (front and back) sheet that covers a single topic. Each KMM has:
–An instructional section: The instructional sections at the top of each page are either very thorough examples, step-by-step instructions, or both.
–Practice problems: Problems start out easy and get progressively more difficult throughout the module. Each problem has enough space for the student to work it out right there.
–Challenge or puzzle: The kids love the challenges or puzzles that are part of each module. These acts as both incentives and, sometimes, self-checking tools.
–Answer Keys! Busy teachers don’t have time to make their own answer keys. I’ve done that for you.
Kaffenate Mini Modules can be used in SO MANY WAYS!
–Topic Introduction
–Daily Warm Up
–Homework
–Pop Quiz
–Substitute Plans
–Extension Work
–Catch-up Work
–Topic Review
–OR whatever else YOU can think of! (In fact, tell me how you use them!)

This video revolves around a decision, a real life example… where I’m going on my next winter vacation. Through this example, I introduce the concepts or ordering integers and comparing integers (inequalities).
