This year marks my 30th year of teaching! I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, sixth grade and currently I teach 5th grade. While I have taught all subjects, I specialize in creating math and science products that align with current standards.

Students love fold-ups!
This product includes:
• A six flap fold-up that classifies triangles by their angles (right, acute and obtuse) and by the length of their sides (equilateral, isosceles and scalene). A definition and a visual representation is given of each.
• This product also includes two 2-sided practice pages and answer keys.
Always make a test copy before copying for your students to make sure the cover and inside fold up properly. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down for easier printing.
Students love fold-ups!
• This three flap foldable focuses on face, vertex and edge.
A definition and a visual representation is given of each.
• This product also includes a 2-sided practice page and answer key.
Always make a test copy before copying for your students to make sure the cover and inside fold up properly. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down for easier printing. Each sheet has two foldables.
Hands-on resource for Area and Perimeter
This 2-part fold-up provides students with a basic understanding of perimeter and area.
Both area and perimeter are defined. The formula for each is given as well as an example.
This fold-up would work well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource.
When making copies, the front cover goes on one side of the paper and the inside on the other. I would recommend running a test copy to make sure it folds up properly.
Students need the basics when working with fractions.
This fold-up names the various parts of a fraction (numerator and denominator, gives the definitions and has a visual representation.
This fold-up will fit nicely in a student's math journal or as a stand alone resource. This is a two page resource: The front cover and inside. Each copy will make two fold-ups.
The cover is upside down for easier printing. I would recommend, however, that you run just one copy and make sure it folds up correctly.
A quick trim on both the bottom and the top will allow the line between the numerator and denominator to match up properly.
Students use this one page mat as an aid when making metric conversions. You can laminate several copies and make them available for student use. Or, do as I do, purchase heavy weight sheet protector sleeves ($20 for 100)and have students slip various papers inside. Using a erasable marker they can write information of the protector, erase, and reuse an unlimited number of times. Saves laminating and paper cost.
Students can refer to this handout/poster when finding the Least Common Multiple of two numbers. You can print out and distribute page to students or chose to enlarge when printing to make a poster. Note that if you chose to enlarge in the print menu, some assembly will be required.

Wonderful writing traits resource for you classroom.
This product contains 7 writing trait posters: Ideas, Word Choice, Voice, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Conventions and Presentation. Each poster is labeled with the Trait with a description of the trait below.
If you prefer to use the original 6 traits, don't use the Presentation poster. Also, included are two 'title' posters. One reads Six Traits of Writing. The other reads 6 + 1 Traits of Writing. Again, choose the poster that meets your needs.
The posters are all created with the paper layout on landscape. You can run the posters on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Or you can enlarge them. For directions on how to make larger posters read my blog post on the subject.
This packet contains 12 posters. Each poster shows a step in solving a two-digit divisor long division problem using the traditional algorithm.
A teacher may choose to use the pages as is or you may enlarge the pages to a poster size. I have taken files to a local print shop and had them enlarge with success. There is, however, a cheaper way, to achieve poster size pages from a regular printer. Directions are given on how this can be done with the product.

This fold-up explains the transfer of energy through a food chain within an ecosystem. The food chain begins with the sun's energy, followed by a producer. The food chain continues with a first order consumer through 4th order consumer.
This product is a half-sheet single flap fold-up which explains the transfer of energy through a food chain. The sample food chain begins with the sun, followed by a producer and a first order through a fourth order producer.
For the teacher short on time, run a completed inside sheet. This fold-up will be finished and ready to be used by students with just a simple fold. If the teacher has time and would like the fold-up to be more
interactive, run the fill in the food chain description inside sheet. A description parts sheet will have to be run too (4 sets of parts per page.)
Directions on how to assemble are also included.

Students learn about composite and prime numbers!
This fold-up gives the definitions for both Composite and Prime Numbers. It also includes an example of each. The fold-up is a half sheet two-flap resource that would fit well in a math journal or stand alone.
A second inside page option is also included. This inside has a definition for both prime and composite numbers that does not use the word divide but factor instead. I have chosen to include this second option, not because the first set of definitions was incorrect, but because some teachers may prefer using the word 'factor' instead of divide.
Also, included is a double-sided worksheet that requires students to list factors for a given number and then check if the number is composite or prime. An answer key is also included.
