I don't know about you, but half of my life seems to be going over things that these guys have already learned! Ok, I know that's all part of teaching mastery...etc. But it's a little bit disheartening to have to go over a concept you were pretty sure you nailed in last week's lesson.
As a way to relieve a little bit of that stress, I've created a packet that covers most of the Arizona math standards. Of course, they can be used in any state as math is math.
I use them as warm-ups each morning for my kiddos. They come in and have a sheet of paper (front and back) with anywhere from 4-10 problems total to complete. Some are word problems, some are straight computation. It's all stuff we've done.
After the allotted amount of time, we go through it. It's a great way for me to measure if they really did master the concept; or if I was not quite as awesome as I thought. It also lets students see some success which, as we all know, can completely change their outlook on math.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I'll be joining in on the Teachers Pay Teachers sale! It's only for 2 days, so make sure you get in on that action!

I agree with you. When your students experienced unexplained amnesia it can be very disheartening. I was in a unique situation that I looped with some of my students this year... I've said more than once... I know you guys did this last year... I was THERE! lol
I will be checking out your product.
