So many students come out of high school without knowing important life skills such as balancing a checkbook, managing their time, getting a job, among others. I found this really neat website which can help with that. You can go here to see resources and a Life Skills Curriculum for Teens and Adults. You will find several great workbooks there such as one on Getting the Job, Career Management, goal setting, essential skills, money, everyday math and more.

FREE & Fun Online Typing Lessons For Kids!

If you’re looking for a fun typing program for your kiddos, then check out Dance Mat Typing put together by the BBC!

There are four different levels and each level has 3 stages (so 12 lessons in all).

I went through several of the lessons and I was really impressed with the lesson structure… plus, I think the kids will have a lot of fun doing them (and they love English accents)! 🙂

The only thing that I would love to see added is an option to score accuracy and words per minute, but for a free typing program for the elementary-aged kids it definitely works great!

Head over to Dance Mat Typing HERE to get started.

(Thanks Marisa!)

FREE Printable Multiplication Practice Sheet For Numbers 3 – 12! {100 Problems}

My mom (who was a public school math teacher for many years) has always encouraged me to really focus on having the kids memorize all of their math facts, and for them to be able to do them FAST! She taught Jr. High math and would have kids who had no problem learning the concepts of Pre-Algebra and Algebra I, but who would make several mistakes simply because they didn’t have their multiplication and division facts down.

I love sharing the printable worksheets that I make for the kids with you guys, so if you would like to print this practice sheet for your kids (or for YOU – some of us parents likely need some extra practice here!) then just click the link below to download the pdf! 🙂

Click here to download the PDF of the 100 Practice Problems!

Also, if you don’t want to have to print out a new sheet every day, I am IN LOVE with my Scotch Laminator that my husband got me for Christmas! We use dry-erase markers on the sheet to do the daily practice and it has worked out great!

$Here is an awesome FREE printable workbook on mastering math essentials: whole numbers and integers!$

[UPDATE: This freebie is no longer available]

I’m a huge fan of American’s Math Teacher products (they do a lot of skill mastery) so I was thrilled to see that they are offering their first book, Mastering Essential Math Skill: Whole Numbers & Integers, for FREE in PDF format.

I’ve been going through the hard-copy book with my 3rd grader so I’m excited to have a copy that I can print directly from my laptop.

You’ll need to create an account at Teachers Pay Teachers if you don’t already have an account but it’s completely free to create one.
