A done-for-you plan for starting your math block, with calm and confidence, from day one.
New classroom or just ready for a fresh start? This is the simple, game-driven, proven method to begin math without the scrambling, the second-guessing, or the late-night prep.
"They're much more engaged. They really look forward to math class."

Starting a new math block feels like a lot because it is a lot but it doesn't have to be
A new group of kids. A blank math block. That quiet voice asking, where do I even start?
So you guess. You search Pinterest at night, you pull a worksheet because at least it's something, and you hope the tone sorts itself out.
I remember those times. In hindsight, it was way more stressful than it needed to be. I'd spend late nights on Pinterest or Teachers Pay Teachers looking for anything to get me through those first few weeks in a new math classroom. I wanted something simple, something that would get the kiddos engaged in math from the moment they walked in.
The First Two Weeks was created after years of trial and error, so you can walk into that math block confident and prepared, with very low prep.

ONE QUICK THING TEACHERS ASK
Do I have to use this at the start of the school year?
Nope. The "first two weeks" is about the feeling of starting your math block over, not a date on the calendar. A new class, a grade switch mid-year, or any time you want a reset. Whenever your beginning is, this meets you there.
FROM THE FOUNDER, KENDRA
I failed Grade 11 math and dreaded teaching it for years, so I built the start I wish I'd had.
Let this be the calm, confident beginning of the math teaching you've always wanted.
