✨ 7th grade, 8th grade, & Algebra 1 Teachers…
It’s 6th period in May. Half your class is missing, the other half is asking
“is this for a grade??”…
and somehow, you’re still expected to teach.
Enter: Game On: Math Bundle
25 ready-to-run, standards-aligned review games, for the students who are checked out… and the teacher who has no energy left to plan.
✨You know the class I’m talking about.
Right after lunch. Loud, restless, already halfway into summer mode.
The same few kids participate. The rest? Checked out.
And it’s not just this one class. It’s every period.
- Different kids missing.
- Constant interruptions. Schedules changing daily.
- Nothing runs the way it did even a month ago.
And the hardest part isn’t even the behavior or engagement. It’s the constant question running in the background:
“What am I even supposed to do tomorrow?”
Give Me all 25 Games
Because here’s the reality no one says out loud:
End-of-year teaching requires more decisions… with less energy.
You’re trying to review content they’ve already “learned”
You're working with inconsistent attendance
You're dealing with zero motivation tied to grades or testing
Then you finally get home.... and you’re supposed to relax.
But you don’t.
- You’ve got tabs open everywhere: Google Drive, TPT, Pinterest, ChatGPT
- trying to piece together something that will actually work tomorrow.
- Meanwhile, your partner’s asking what you want for dinner.
- Your kid wants you to read one more book.
And you’re there… physically present, but mentally still in your classroom.Because you haven’t figured out tomorrow yet. And the hardest part isn’t the planning.
It’s the constant decisions running in the background:
- “What am I doing tomorrow?”
- “What will actually engage them?”
- “What won’t turn into a hot mess?”
That constant decision-making? That’s what’s exhausting you.
If we’re being honest, you’ve tried the “ready-to-go” resources:
👉 Review packets… until the printer breaks or kids rush through them in 10 minutes
👉 Kahoot… but they’ve already played it in every other class
👉 That Pinterest activity… that ends up being way more prep than you thought
They’re not bad.
They’re just not built for this time of year.
✨ I’m going to let you in on a secret about this time of year:
The reason planning feels so hard isn’t because you’re bad at your job; it’s because nothing that’s worked the rest of the year works right now:
Typically, you have a couple of absent students. Now, you have days where you’re missing half the class.
Your usual lesson pacing assumes that kids are motivated by the grade (or passing the state test). At the end of the year, they’re more interested in how close summer is.
Review in the middle of the year includes time for reteaching. In May, you have less time and the school schedule seems to change daily.
It’s 100% possible
INTRODUCING…
Game On Math Bundle
A set of 25 ready-to-use math review games
you can open, project, and run, no planning (or last minute copying) required.
This isn’t another bundle of activities.
It’s your:
✔️ “I don’t have time to plan this” solution
✔️ “I need them engaged but still learning” solution
✔️ “I can’t reteach everything again” solution
Standards-aligned, tested (and loved) in real classrooms, zero prep on your end.
You open the folder, pick a game, and project it. And your students? They’ll love you for it.
Here’s what that 6th period class looks like tomorrow:
You open one tab as the kids are walking in. They’re still high energy, like always, but this time, you’re not trying to force re-teach. Instead, you’re starting a game, and they’re already fighting over who gets to go first.
- That student who’s still missing work from the beginning of the quarter? He’s telling his team the answer and (to be honest) is getting a little loud.
- The quiet student who normally fades into the background during group activities is checking her work.
- That one kid who’s extra? Still extra, but this time he’s showing off his two-step equation prowess.
And you, you’re suppressing a smile because for once, you’re not carrying the class.
SAY LESS! I'M IN
This is for you if:
✅ You teach 7th grade, 8th grade, Algebra 1, or all three, and you need ONE system for review that works for every prep
✅ You’re DONE fighting for attention in Quarter 4 and ready to look forward to leading lessons you know will hit
✅ You still care about the learning, even now… especially now.
✅ You want the structure that teaching in May demands without adding hours to your workload.
And probably isn’t for you if:
🚫 you’re fine with your last 15 days being worksheets that kids rush through
🚫 you love planning review from scratch every single night
🚫 you don’t mind reteaching everything again in August
🎮 What’s Inside Game On Math Bundle:
📊 Ratios, Proportions & Percents
🧠 Equations & Inequalities
📈 Functions & Graphing
🔁 Systems of Equations
🧮 Polynomials & Quadratics
⚡ Slope & Linear Relationships
🚀 Word Problems & Application
Here's What's Included:
Oh, and one more thing. This isn’t about memorizing formulas they’ll forget by next year.
- We won’t tell them this, but most students won’t need to factor a polynomial in their thirties.
- What will actually serve them? Knowing that when something is hard, they can sit with it, try something, fail, change their approach, and figure it out.
THAT is the point of high quality review in May: proving to them one last time before summer that they’re the kind of kids who can encounter something difficult and persist.
And Game On? It’s the vehicle that sends your kids out the door for the year KNOWING they’re math people.
$29. One time & you’ll use these games year after year.

Why these actually work:
✔️ Built-in structure → so it doesn’t turn into chaos
✔️ Self-checking options → less grading for you
✔️ Spiral review → not random practice
✔️ Flexible → whole group, stations, or sub plans
If you grabbed this today…
Tomorrow could look like:
👉 open a game
👉 project it
👉 students actually engaged
👉 you not scrambling
That’s what this gives you.

Hi, I’m Stephanie 👋
I’m a former NYC math teacher turned curriculum designer.
I spent 11+ years teaching Algebra 1 and supporting students who needed more than just worksheets to stay engaged.
And honestly?
End-of-year teaching used to feel like survival mode.
- Students were checked out.
- Schedules were chaotic.
- And no matter how much I planned… it wasn’t landing.
So I started creating simple, structured math games I could use anytime, no prep, no stress, and actually engaging.
And everything changed.
✅ Students participated.
✅ Class ran smoother.
✅ And I finally had breathing room again.
Game On: Math Edition is a collection of those exact activities, the ones that worked when nothing else did.
Let me paint a picture:
Tomorrow could look like every other day in May, you walk in with a few activities you found the night before, spend your planning period prepping, and five minutes into class, it’s clear it’s not working. Kids are done in 10 minutes or completely checked out, and you’re left improvising the rest of the period.
Or… it could look different.
You open the folder, pick a game, and project it. Within minutes, students are arguing over who gets to go first and you’re not scrambling to make it work.
$29. Ready to use tomorrow morning.
PS: You don’t have to keep doing this the hard way. You’ve earned an easier end to the year.
