Special Education Teachers, do you struggle when it comes to making sure all IEP team members are aware and understanding the ins and outs of your students' IEPs? My 20 page e-book gives the definition of 12 common words, phrases, and acronyms you might come across in an IEP or meeting. The guide includes

• Definitions
• Expanded meanings as the term pertains to teachers and families
• A one page "cheat sheet" for all term definitions
• Links to extra resources

Your students will love working on skip counting with these printable and digital puzzles! Includes numbers 1-12. Page 4 of the pdf contains a link that will allow you to make a copy of the digital version to use for distance learning.

Easy ideas for differentiating are included on the directions page to make this resource work for every student in your class!

Print each page on colorful cardstock. Laminate if desired. Cut apart the numbers with the skip counting patterns. Do not cut the numbers with the multiplication equations. Students will match the answer to the multiplication fact to complete the puzzle of the number by which they are skip counting. You can also print the numbers with the skip counting patterns to display in the classroom for a visual reference.

Students can use these cards to match two-, three-, and four-digit numbers with their base ten block representations, expanded form, and written form. Use the cards individually to create even more activities. For example, give students the three digit number card and have them build the number using actual base ten blocks. You can also give the students the clip art cards and have them write the three digit numbers or the numbers in expanded form. The possibilities are endless and easily differentiated for every learner.

Learning is a journey, and there is no better way to illustrate this than with a travel themed classroom!
