TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristin C. says, "This product saved me during a very busy time in the school year. The journal pages and quick review slides were great to use as attendance questions or exit tickets to stagger students time in the hall. I also taught this unit as our school transitioned from in person learning to online learning and it was so helpful to have all these digital resources to easily present in my google meetings. There were also activities that I could easily modify for students to complete outside (i.e. scoot) which the students loved."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Katie Ann N. says, "I began using mindful math with my students this year and I love the layout of the units and the variety of activities included to keep math exciting and fun for the students."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley J. says, "This is the third Mindful Math unit I have bought, and I love them all! My students find it much more engaging than the math curriculum that I was using previously. I love the consistency in how the lessons are laid out and how easy they are to follow. My students love the variety in the activities. I teach in BC, so I also love how the lessons align with our curriculum. Thank you so much for making these units, I plan on eventually buying all of them!"
