NEW Halloween Activities and Geometry Activities

Happy Friday! First, how are YOU? Like, really? I hope the school year is off to a positive start and you are finding a way to balance work and life. I'll be honest, I'm struggling right now with the balance part. Hopefully once I'm able to move a bit closer to my job and cut down on my loooooong commute, the balance will fall into place! I've been getting in some work on Beyond the Worksheet products because, honestly, it brings me joy. It's my creative outlet and I'm so grateful to have so many of you to share with! I've just listed three new seasonal Halloween activities for grades 6 - 8. I hope to have one out for 5th and one for Geometry soon too! These are simple and easy to use Escape style activities (not Math Escapes, these are far more simple) and should be a fun addition to your classroom this October. If you are a member of Absolute Access, you already have these on your Dashboards under the seasonal category! Which, by the way, can we believe OCTOBER is already next week? I also have some new Geometry activities available, with more (and another whole unit) coming soon! Plus, the full curriculum is available for pre-release! Get all new activities and units as soon as they are complete! I hope you have plans this weekend to rest, recharge and do things that bring you joy! Lindsay |

I've compiled grade level curriculum and activities guides to help - and they are FREE. They will point to you to the perfect supplemental activity/activities not only for each unit, but for each LESSON! They are available for grades 5 - 8 and Algebra 1. I hope you'll find them...
Hey there Reader, Do you have students who struggle with math in your classroom? I do. Do you wish more students would participate in your class, but it feels like pulling teeth to get any participation? Yep. Let me introduce you to my friend Juliana Tapper. Juliana was a high school math intervention teacher for many years so she totally gets it. She’s just written a book titled, Teaching 6-12 Math Intervention: A Practical Framework To Engage Students Who Struggle, and it’s definitely...
Happy OCTOBER! Since we are entering "spooky season", I wanted to address themed resources and older students. I think there is a misconception that the older students get, the less they benefit from “seasonal” resources. But seriously, something happens when you give the kids an activity with a pumpkin on it in October and an image of a reindeer in December. For some reason, their attention is spiked – even for just a minute! I’m a big fan of taking hold of those moments of increased...
