Do You Worry, “Am I Doing Enough?”
Have you ever seen a student struggle, and wondered what more you could do to help them? Do you worry if the math curriculum you’re currently using is deficient? Is there a growing feeling that your students aren’t getting set up for success?
Here’s what a solid math curriculum should include:
The why and the how of mathematics
Consistent math facts review with fun & simple games
Opportunities for cooperative learning
Mental math & open ended challenges
Plenty of opportunities for real world application
Lots of visual models and representations
How does your current math curriculum measure up?
The reality is not all children are getting the quality support they need.
But that doesn’t have to be true of YOUR children.
Click to learn how the Ultimate Math Toolbox can help you round out your curriculum by providing supplements to support your kids’ needs:
Every child can succeed in math with the right tools and support.
You want to engage and challenge every child in your class, but with so many different ability levels and individual needs, it’s easier said than done. A standard curriculum is not going to have everything you need to meet the needs of each student. But a quick Google or Pinterest search will likely bring you tons of completely unrelated content, or a boring worksheet. Learning and engaging with math is so much more than a worksheet. That’s why we’re here to help.
With your purchase of The Ultimate Math Toolbox, you get access to engaging and fun resources from 13 different math teachers that encourage kids to dig deeper, make connections and learn the why behind the math they’re learning. All while having fun!
If you’re looking at your curriculum and thinking there are some areas of weakness there, we’ve got you covered. Inside the toolbox, you will find lessons, games and other supplements to help you round out whatever curriculum you’re using. Plus, you’ll get access to exclusive training courses to learn how to use your curriculum to it’s greatest potential.
Every child can succeed in math with the right tools and support.

You’re not alone!
And we’ve got just the solution for you.
Here comes The Ultimate Math Toolbox to the rescue!
In my experience as both a homeschooling mom and educator, I know that every child can succeed in math with the right tools and support. And in my world, I like to make those tools as fun as possible!

What Others Are Saying
“Bethany is full of math knowledge and enthusiasm, but she’s able to communicate clearly and creatively, breaking down ideas into meaningful chunks and supporting the information with examples and even research. I’ve found the classes to be engaging and rich with information, but not too long or overwhelming. Bethany’s love for math is evident both through the courses she offers and also the printables she creates to share that love with our students.”
“Thank you so much for working to put together an enormous amount of resources that are engaging, yet challenging for students. It is very important that students learn to make sense of mathematics. I think these resources will help with just that! I was blown away by the amount of resources I received in the 4th grade library. Then, I checked the libraries of the other grades and I was just taken aback. There are sooo many resources to supplement my curriculum. Talk about getting a bang for your bucks!

Still Have Questions?
Is this a complete curriculum?
NO. This is a bundled collection of digital math supplements, designed to help you fill in the gaps where your curriculum may be lacking. No curriculum is perfectly able to meet the needs of each and every child. So supplementing from time to time is always going to be necessary. Our desire is that with The Ultimate Math Toolbox, you can easily find a resource to help you supplement your current curriculum without searching Google or paying for yet another resource on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Can I purchase these resources separately?
Absolutely! We realize that you may not need or want every single resource included in the Ultimate Math Toolbox, so you are welcome to purchase individual products from one of the contributing teachers stores. You can find each teacher on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Are these resources for teachers or parents?
Both! All resources are designed to be used to teach kids math and have fun doing so. They can be used in the classroom, after school or by homeschooling families. Please note though, that the courses are intended for those who teach math. So if you are a parent looking for supplemental resources to help your kids with their homework, you may not find this bundle to be as great of a value to you, as you won’t need the courses.
I don't live in the U.S. Can I still purchase?
You sure can! Simply check out with Paypal, and you’re all set.
With so many free resources, why do I need to pay?
While each of the contributing teachers do strive to offer lots of fun and free activities, all of the printable collections listed above are paid products. With these collections, you get a more comprehensive resource, rather than an individual free activity. In addition, there are hundreds of free printables also included inside the site, all in one place. This allows you to find them easily, on an ad-free site, providing greater convenience. Of course, it’s still up to you. You could certainly continue to use our freebies alone if this bundle is not in your budget right now!
I purchased the bundle last year. Is this the same or different?
We have put together an entirely new bundle of resources for 2019. This includes a brand new set of printable products, with the exception of the ‘Problem of the Day Calendars.’ These calendars have been updated to correspond to the 2019 calendar, but were also included last year. The other $350+ printable products are new. In addition, there are 3 brand new video courses that were not included last year.
Will I receive something in the mail?
No. All the printable materials are digital resources that you can download, print and begin using right away. The professional development courses are online, video based courses, which you can view and complete right inside the toolbox site.
How do I access the materials?
After purchasing, you will be given immediate access to all the resources on the easy to navigate site. Simply search by grade level to find what you need. A follow up email will also be sent with detailed instructions on how to login and find what you need.
Can I get a refund if I don't like it?
Yes. While we will be sad to see you go, we want you to be completely satisfied and confident in your purchase. If for some reason it does not meet your expectations, simply request a refund within 30 days of purchasing.
I've already purchased some of these resources. Do I still have to pay full price?
Yes. If you’ve already purchased some of these resources, there are still hundreds of dollars worth of additional printables and professional development courses included. We feel confident you’re still saving money, and getting access to great materials!
Who is The Ultimate Math Toolbox NOT for?
This math bundle is not for everyone. First, it’s not intended for preschool teachers. While some of the Kindergarten materials could be used with PreK kids, there are not preschool specific resources. At this time, it is also not for Middle School or High School teachers. Currently, resources cover topics up through 5th grade. Finally, the toolbox is not for you if you don’t have access to a reliable internet connection and a printer. All teaching materials on the site are downloadable pdf files which you will need to print out to use (with the exception of some of the digital task cards and math centers). They are not computer based. In addition, to view the videos in the included courses, you will need to have a reliable internet connection to ensure the videos don’t freeze up.
This is a risk free purchase:
If you are not 100% satisfied with the resources inside the Math Toolbox, simply email us within 30 days for a full refund. We want this to be a purchase that benefits you for years to come. If it’s not what you’re looking for, we’ll refund you. No questions asked.
