I have to be honest and say that I don't spend much time watching basketball (sorry!), but when some collaborators came up with a fun way to follow the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (AND offer some free products), I thought it sounded like a great thing to do! 

Our collaborative group, "Tools for Teaching Teens," (Brittany Naujok from the Colorado Classroom, Technology Integration Depot, Math Giraffe, Leah Cleary, History Gal, and myself) has put together a set of brackets to go along with the tournament! Each basketball team has been connected with a set of resources for middle school and high school teachers, and you can get some of these resource for free! Here's what you can do:

1.  For now, you can go here to download your free kickoff package.  The free bundle includes 6 resources, in different subject areas.

2.  Check out the "Mayhem" brackets here and root for your favorite items! (Some of these are high priced items from our stores).  When the tournament champion is crowned, the winning set of products will be made free to EVERYONE, not just one lucky winner!

3.  Follow our pinterest board for a many ideas and blog posts, all for teaching teenage students.

4.  Check out the links below to get acquainted with the whole "Tools for Teaching Teens" team!

5.  Remember to come back at the end of the tournament, to see which set of great resources made it to the end!  You will be able to access a free download of the paid items by re-downloading the original freebie bundle - at that time, it will be updated to include the winning paid resources!  May the best products win!

Love to Doodle (and a freedbie)

Exponents Color by Number For most of my school life as a student (and even as an adult, during PD), I have really liked doodling! During lectures, discussions...it would help me focus, but also give me something to make me look busy, so I wouldn't get called on in class! I always hated being called on and almost never participated voluntarily:) I liked to draw cubes, rectangles, squiggly lines, etc, and color in different parts of the doodles. Download this freebie:-) I really wanted to make some color by number activities. Since I am not good at creating actual pictures, I decided to make my color by numbers similar to my random drawing/doodling. My Exponent Color by Number is most similar to my past doodles, but I thought it was a little too random, so I started using actual shapes. The Integer Operations Color by Number (freebie), as well as most of my other color by numbers are more structured, but so much fun for me to make! Computerized doodling! Anyone else

Math Class - First Day Activity

Rectangle of pentominoes Many 6th graders seem to have a pretty negative attitude about math, so I try to do something interesting to "grab" them during our first class. Last year, during the first math class, we spent part of the period working with pentominoes. Before working with the pentominoes, however, we played a name game so we could learn each others' names (I find it impossible to start anything else if I don't know some names, and fortunately, I learn them fairly quickly). rectangle outline For the activity, I divided the students into groups of 3 or 4. The directions for the activity were not complicated - the task was to make a rectangle, using all of the pentominoes. I gave students an outline of the rectangle, as pictured to the left, so they would know the correct size of the rectangle. The squares in the grid are each one inch. The rectangle is 5 squares (inches) wide and 13 inches long (13 inches includes the row that has the "Pent
