Math Practice Pages
Posted by Debra Liverman on 05 Dec 2008 | Posted in: The Mailbox Books
If practice makes perfect, then here’s the perfect way to practice: Math Practice Pages. This month’s featured book from The Mailbox Books provides lots of practice for the number and operations skills on which your students will likely be tested, but the formats make it more fun than typical textbook practice. Each book has 80 reproducible skill sheets featuring kid-friendly characters and engaging formats to keep students interested.
We know you need to prepare students for end-of-year tests and here’s a way to do it without boring skill and drill! Don’t take my word for it: print the sample pages below and try them out with your students. Then, stop back by and let me know what you think.
If you’ve read previous book features, you know how this works! Each person who comments on this post will be entered in a drawing to win one FREE Math Practice Pages book. I’ll randomly draw one name on December 19 and contact the winner via email.
Congratulations Monica from Star Elementary School. She is the winner of a Math Practice Pages book!

After taking a look at the Table of Contents I was pleased to see the way the skills are broken down. Such as with the ordinal numbers to 3rd then on to 5th. I find in Kindergarten the students sometimes need to take baby steps. Having the quick worksheets to move the students just a step closer with repeated practice is a delight.
Over the years of teaching different elementary grades from PK-6th except for 2nd, and 3rd I have seen that no curriculum has everything needed for the students to get the practice needed to mastery the skills required. And every year there is a new or updated list of skills or methods added without resources. At the same time more testing is added which cuts down on time in the classroom for multiple types of activities to reinforce the skill to the mastery level. I do not know how many of you teach kinder or pk but in my town these are half a day classes but the skills and concepts expected for mastery are the same as those of a full day which makes it doubly challenging. Your worksheets help the child want to practice and I like using them for exta practice, homework, sometimes parents ask for extra work to use at home or on vacation.
Another homeschool mom here… I love this book I found it in my local teaching store. It is on my wish list for Christmas…. Has anyone thought of doing one of these for Pre-Algebra or Algebra? I homeschool middle school and high school kids as well… The saddest part is they are all getting to old for Mailbox…:o( I love all the great ideas!
I’m a homeschool mom who loves new ideas on how to capture my kids’ attention. This looks like it would fit the bill.
This looks fantastic! I’m always looking for math skill sheets to send home for extra practice!
I recently returned to teaching. The Mailbox books and website have given me several new ideas that I use with the children in the Montessori School that I teach at. The math worksheets that I downloaded allow all my students to have fun with math, while still learning the basics.
I am always looking for a little extra to do in math. This book will be a great way to reinforce the skills I have taught in whole group math. I plan to do both sample pages provided.
I love your sample pages! My kids would love this book! Mailbox products are the pages I use the most often. The children always enjoy doing the worksheets. I love the illustrations on the worksheets too!
I love using practice sheets like these! We use Saxon Math at our school and I feel that most of the time that my students need a little extra practice than what the sheets that go with our math provide. Sheets that are appropriate and all in one book is exactly what the super busy teachers we all are need!!! Thanks Mailbox!
I am looking for any extra pages I can get. I am a new teacher and use many of the mailbox ideas already. I think my children will love the goldfish activity.
I’m a first year teacher and it’s been hard finding simple practice activities for my students. The second sample page (with butterflies) will be perfect for homework. I plan to send it home next week. Sometimes it is hard for students to practice at home because math in Kindergarten evolves around manipulatives. It’s great that the page included counters!!!
I like having a variety of sheets available for the students. We did the sample worksheet after counting out groups of goldfish crackers. We then ate the crackers, followed by the worksheet, as the students finished up. Everyone can work at their own pace.
