EARLY MORNINGS, LATE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS OF LESSON PLANNING DON'T HAVE TO BE THE NORM!

Done-for-you math and SEL resources that fill the gaps in your curriculum and help you build a classroom community your kids love.

Low prep

My resources don't take hours of cutting and laminating before they're ready for your students (because nobody has time for all that!).

Engaging

Not having extra time to prep doesn't mean you can't be the fun teacher! Picture books, games and hands-on activities make you the teacher all the kids want.

Tied to a standard

Yes, it's fun, but if admin walks in, it's also tied to a learning standard. Every math page lists the Common Core standard right at the top.

print, copy, done!

NEARLY 1,800 PAGES OF K-5 MATH WORKSHEETS

There's a page for every math skill from kindergarten through 5th grade, one skill per page, with the standard at the top. No need to recreate the wheel when you can print-and-go instead!

"We have new math curriculum this year and some of it seems way more complicated than it needs to be to teach my third graders. I have used this bundle with the various skills we are learning. These sheets easily teach the skills without confusing the kids! Thank you so much for a bundle that is easy to use because of it being divided up by skills! This makes learning less frustrating for my kiddos!"

HI, I'M JENNIFER!

I'm a certified elementary teacher, a mom of three and the founder and curriculum designer behind Cupcakes & Curriculum. I've been making K-3 math and SEL resources since 2012, and on my old grade-level team, the running joke was "Oh, Jen will make it cute. She's got it."

I still design every page that way, and I make it all so you can remember you're MORE than a teacher! Here you'll find teacher tips, classroom management ideas and standards-based resources made for all the different learners in your room 🙂

"Cannot tell you how helpful this resource is. It quashes almost all classroom management issues you may have and it provides a mentor text for every character trait. Love referring back to the story each time an issue pops up in the classroom and I love how you can skip a week and cover an issue that your class is currently dealing with (for example, if the students are having difficulty with personal space, focus on that character trait for the following week). Thank you so much. This resource is invaluable!"
