I'm kind of sad it's all coming to an end. But I saved the best for last! I've actually put 4 products on sale today. Check it out!
Yep, you're reading that right. All four of my 2nd Grade Mighty Math formative assessment packs are 50% off  FOR TODAY ONLY!! Here are the links to first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter.

Are you new to Mighty Math? Here's the low down:
Mighty Math is a set of weekly formative assessments that I use to evaluate progress towards the second grade Common Core State Standards. All ten of the 2nd grade math CCSS are included on the assessments, although I split three of them in two (addition & subtraction facts, larger addition & subtraction problems, and time & money), bringing it to a total of 13 problems each week.

Here's one of my students from two years ago, plugging away on his Mighty Math!
How I Use These Assessments in My Class:
Every week, I have a shortened math period (50 minutes, as opposed to 75) due to my specials schedule. This is my Mighty Math Day. Students first complete their Mighty Math assessment. It takes the average student about 15 minutes to complete. When they finish, they work independently on unfinished Math Journal pages from the previous week or Compass Learning Odyssey (a differentiated math website that aligns to their MAP scores). During this independent work time, I will pull groups of students who struggled with specific skills on the previous week's Mighty Math. So, for example, if I noticed that five students had trouble mixing up the hour and minute hand when telling time, I will pull them for more practice. We will review the problem, see if we can find the mistake, and practice telling time with Judy clocks or other supplies I have.

The record keeping sheets are amazing too! Check it out:
I have one of these sheets for each student. I put a star in the box if they got it right and a check in the box if it's wrong. Usually I'll write a quick note about what the problem was or what went wrong. This Little Love clearly will need extra help when we get to our measuring unit. In the meantime, I am meeting with him (and others who struggle with this strand) for reteaching and practice.

I also use this whole-class sheet so I can ]easily tell where we need extra practice: time, money and graphing, anyone?
I have never felt so knowledgeable about my individual students' math skills than this past year. I really feel like these assessments gave me the whole picture on each student, and it was a great tool for parents too!

Not a 2nd grade teacher? Don't worry. The 3rd grade version is scheduled to be released next week, and1st grade is up next!

FOR TODAY (and tomorrow until I wake up) ONLY, I've marked all four assessment packs down 50%! Shut. The. Front. Door!!! That means each pack is $3.00. If you buy all four, you'll be saving $8.00 from the year bundle. Check out first quartersecond quarterthird quarter, and fourth quarter Mighty Math on TPT and add it to your cart.
