My county currently uses Math Trailblazers (MTb) for math instruction. We supplement some material, but MTb is the primary program for teaching math.

I've made some of my own things that go with the program. The program uses Daily Practice Problems (DPP) to reinforce the concepts learned during math. I use these problems in the morning for our morning work. Each child is given a packet and keeps it in their desk. Each morning I put which problems they are to complete for the day.

The list of DPP packets will grow as the year progresses, so be sure to check back later to see more units!

One of the things that makes MTb so great are the TIMS Labs. TIMS stands for Teaching Integrated Math and Science. The labs are a great way for students to explore the unit through hands on learning. Each student is given a lab packet and they complete all pages of their packet. When the lab is finished, they turn in their packets.

In addition to making the DPP and Lab packets, I've also made the black-line masters that I use with each unit. Each of these masters are used throughout the entire MTb book.
