In addition, if you're a seller on Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) that would like to get more information about joining TBOTEMC, click here.  Free free to e-mail me with any questions, as I'd be happy to help in any way possible.




By Scipi - Science and Math
Math; Grades 4-7


This seven page handout has 11 ways to practice recognizing fractional parts, naming equivalent fractions, identifying basic percents (25%, 50%, 75% 100%), and reducing fractions to lowest terms. It is a fun and engaging way to practice math and keep the students actively involved. Specific words are given. If each fractional part is correctly identified, when the students write the fractional parts on the lines provided, a new word is created. Each group of new words becomes a snow riddle or answer.


By Mickey's Place
ELA; Grades K-2


Winter Word Match is an activity in which students will practice their winter vocabulary while matching words to their picture. Five different sets are included: animals, clothes/ food, snow, time, and outdoor fun. Assessments are included.


By Sndyer Classroom
Math; Grades 4-6



Engage your students with these self-checking QR code multiplying decimals worksheets, and students love checking their work on their devices. Includes 6 worksheets with a total of 48 multiplying decimals problems. Each problem also has a grid box in which to solve the problem and an accompanying QR code that reveals the answer. QR codes allow students to self-check their work.

ELA/Writing; Grades 7-10


This four-passage text set is accompanied by an argumentative prompt regarding the topic of cell phones in the classroom. It's a perfect assignment to engage typically students of all ability levels due to the interesting topic. It will also strengthen your students experience with the idea of using the text to support their writing, rather than their own personal experiences.  Modeled after AIR Testing, which is used in numerous states across the country, it would also fit well into a PARCC simulation. The text set, itself, is 7 pages long.


By Sally Hansen - Purposeful Plans
ELA/Writing; Grades 3-12


With over 20 compliments and 15 improvement suggestions, the conference card will help guide what to say during a writing conference with your students! Just like when you scaffold and model the requirements for an essay in a mini-lesson, you do the same thing individually for each student through conferencing. Conferencing will help you deliver differentiated instruction.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “FREE Public Speaking Growth Tracking Charts”

by Secondary Sara
6th - 12th Grade


Do your students present the same problems in each speech or presentation without improving? Use these FREE charts and reflection questions to help your students identify and fix their public speaking weaknesses over time!

Great for assessing growth in CCSS standards like SL.1 and SL.4, these charts ask students to get and respond to feedback, self-assess their presentations, reflect on how group assignments went, and track assignments throughout the year to see if changes are happening. 

This 6-page download includes:
• Personal Learning Chart: Identify general strengths and weaknesses
• Feedback Tracker: Improve prior practice by getting feedback from 3 people beforehand
• Growth Tracker: Specifically identify how posture, vocals, eye contact, etc. improve
• Goal Tracker: Set a goal and track how it progresses over time
• Group Work Learning Chart: Identify the positives, negatives, and areas for improvement
• Group Work Reflection: Explain how each person contributed and how collaboration could improve

NOTE: The EDITABLE version of this freebie is INCLUDED in my newly UPDATED Public Speaking Activity Bundle! Check it out to get a combination of speaking tools at a discounted rate!
