Welcome back to school! The summer has been busy!

Can you believe that August is over? The summer has gone by too quickly. I've been busy updating checklists and making other resources for Common Core!
 
New Icons ~ Letter-shaped domain icons have been added to all checklists and posters to help students and teachers identify domains (strands) quickly, even if the signs are printed in black/white.
 
FREE Goals Leaflets using “I Can” Statements ~  There are now free leaflets of goals for each grade from K-8, numbered to match the goals on my poster checklists. These require just one sheet of paper, printed on both sides and folded to make a 4-page leaflet. You can download these from my website, www.mathpaths.com.

New Class Goal Signs ~ The 50-60 goals on each grade’s checklist are now available as individual goal signs illustrated with the domain icons, to be printed or displayed on a screen.

New and Expanded Products for the Standards for Mathematical Practice ~  In 2012, I developed “Be a Star” posters to emphasize practice standards in grades 3 to 8. Over the summer, I wrote a simpler K-2 version of "Be a Star" posters. Versions for 3-8 and K-2 include unique star-shaped icons for each practice standard. Both versions also include a mini book.

Have a great school year!
