For 4th Grade Math STAAR Review - Math Test Prep Games
October 7, 2026"This resource is an absolute game-changer for teaching Unit 3 in 4th grade! If you are feeling overwhelmed by the dense teacher manuals or spending hours trying to format your own presentations, do yourself a favor and buy this right now. The slides are completely no-prep, beautifully designed, and student-friendly. Every single lesson includes clearly stated learning targets right at the beginning, which keeps my students focused and aligns perfectly with our instructional goals. I especially love the embedded anchor charts and direct hyperlinks—they save me so much transition time during lessons because I don’t have to hunt for materials across different tabs or manuals. The included student worksheets and guided practice prompts provide wonderful scaffolding that keeps student engagement high and supports all learners, including my emerging bilinguals and students who need extra support. It breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, manageable pieces without watering down the curriculum. Thank you for creating such a polished, time-saving, and effective teaching tool! It has easily cut my planning time in half and made our daily lessons run seamlessly."

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
