Fact Families Practice Page
Here’s a simple page to help your class work on fact families. Each day, choose a fact family (like 3+5=8) and have your students fill out the parts (3 and 5) and the whole (8). Then they can write all the number sentences within that fact family (3+5=8, 5+3=8, 8-5=3 and 8-3=5). This will help kids build their number sense and learn to identify relationships between parts and wholes. Click here for the free printable worksheet: Fact Families Page PDF

Awesome Classroom Ideas!
Here are some more of the coolest elementary education ideas I’ve seen so far lately. Enjoy!
Work boxes for each student. When they finish their work they can go to their work box and pull out things to work on that the teacher has placed in there. Lets the teacher assign different things for the student/if they need extra practice in an area–DIFFERENTIATION! This makes a great fast finisher system too. Click here for more fast finisher ideas.
Here’s an easy way to do number of the day. If you’d like a number of the day program that gets increasingly more difficult and is aligned with the common core, click here. (source)
Help students focus more by covering sections of the page with a cut file folder. This would be a great way to help students who get distracted easily or have a hard time completing work. After they finish a section, they can stand up, walk around the room once, etc. (source)
