Addition and Subtraction Mega Pack

Alright, so after a couple of late nights, I know why my favorite clipart designer named herself the "3AM Teacher."  I stayed up until 4 a.m. working on this mega pack.  Then, awoke by 8 to tutor!  All is good, because I can nap later!  This 81 pages of goodness mega double digit pack is now available inside my TPT store.  The hunk of this pack includes 4 booklets.  The booklets are 10 pages each.  There is one for addition without regrouping, addition with regrouping, subtraction without borrowing, and subtraction with borrowing.  The booklets are easy to print. I added 2 centers/games for an extra little bonus and chance for practice.
 
* Update!  Since using this product, I've discovered one thing!  The students love using their free time in class to complete their 4 booklets!  I let students add their 10 stickers all at once, to avoid lots of grading time.  When they finish a packet, I grade their whole booklet at once.  We glue these into our math journal (composition notebook) to save as a reference.  The sticker page goes into their homework binder, so parents can see when progress is made!  I need to go and create some more difficult booklets for the few that have finished all 4 booklets (40 pages!!!).  Way to go kiddos!

Chef's Needed! Division Practice

Okay, I am ready for teaching about division now!  I just finished a 13 page mini-booklet after enjoying stuffed crust pizza at Pizza Hut.  I always find it funny and a bit strange how I come up with ideas in random locations (hence...while eating pizza tonight).
