Hi, friends. I know this is really challenging and we are all exhausted. This post is my way of providing support and encouragement – as well as bringing math joy to your classroom…
I’m going to stick with you all year long.
To do that, I am going to post a new math resource every school day for the rest of the school year. Here is the plan:
Every Monday – Brand New Estimation Clipboard (all grade levels)
Every Tuesday – Brand New Esti-Mystery for Kindergarten, and New Esti-Mystery for Grades 1-2
Every Wednesday – Brand New Esti-Mystery for Grades 1-3
Every Thursday – Brand New Esti-Mystery for Grades 3-8
Every Friday – Brand New Mystery Number Sense Resource
I’ll post a new resource every school day each week (except for holidays) from now through May 1. You will be able to find all of the resources on this blog post.
In addition, I’ll post updates on my YouTube channel.
If you find this useful, let me know – and I’d love to hear where you are from – in the comments below.
Let’s begin…

Those slides are labeled in this Splat Medley so you can find them easily – especially if you’ve seen the video. The first video is one in which I solve a splat several different ways. In the picture below, it’s the Splat with the number 14.
The second video shows 8 different ways a fraction splat might be solved. In the picture below it’s the fraction Splat with the number 7.
