Personalize Your Math Problems

My students have always LOVED when I use their names in math problems.  They always get excited, and the engagement really increases.  This summer I have been teaching summer school.  I decided to take the personalization one step further with pictures.

My littles had an obsession with pine cones  (although they called them acorns for some reason - LOL!).  So, I took them outside to play with the pine cones (and to practice some math skills).

I took pictures of them while we were outside and created math prompts with them.

Instant engagement!  They were so excited to see their faces in their math journals!

Have you ever personalized your math problems?

Amazon Prime Day is July 11th - Get a $10 Amazon Credit to Spend!

I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like I don't know what I would do without Amazon!  How did we ever survive without it?

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.  

Not only do I buy most of my books from Amazon, but I get a fair deal of school supplies, home supplies, and even presents for birthdays and Christmas for my boys!

Amazon became even better when I signed up for Amazon Prime and got FREE Shipping (along with a whole host of other benefits).  One of those benefits is Amazon Prime Day which rivals  Black  Thursday for deals!

If you are not already an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime to take advantage of all these deals!

BONUS: Right now you can get a free $10 Amazon Credit when you use Prime Video for the first time! Prime Video is one of the many benefits of having Amazon Prime!

This credit is valid for new and existing Prime members who have never used Prime Video in the past.

And... if you would like to earn additional Amazon Credits, you might like to try Swagbucks! I earn approximately $10-$20 a month which helps cover some of the costs of items I buy for my classroom.

What are your favorite things to buy on Amazon?
