This is for you if

  • You teach K–5 math from standards and a pacing guide, so tomorrow’s practice gets written tonight.
  • Your district program moves too fast, and the extra practice is yours to find.
  • You homeschool, math isn’t your subject, and each lesson starts with guessing what to say.

This is not for you if

  • You want videos or an app to do the teaching.
  • Your kids are well ahead and need enrichment, not daily practice.

What you get, in one minute

Every grade of elementary math, Kindergarten to Grade 5, each written as a full school year: 36 weeks, 180 lessons, one a day, in the order of the year.

Every lesson opens with a Say-it box that tells the adult what to say. Then 10–15 minutes of practice that follows it. Every week closes with its answer key.

  • Aligned to grade-level standards.
  • Teach your grade; reach below or above when needed.

Plus three bonuses: the Placement Check, Quick Check Assessments and a Grading Guide.

TCS

Who writes The Written Year

The TCS math team: former K–5 classroom teachers and a parent who homeschooled three grades at the kitchen table.

It started with a 3rd grade teacher who began homeschooling her own kids. At school, a pacing guide. At home, a 300-page manual. Neither was written for the person teaching.

So every lesson is written for the adult first, then for the kid.

How it arrives

  • Right after checkout: your download link on the confirmation page and in your email.
  • PDF files for all six grades, plus the three bonuses. They open on any phone, tablet or computer.
  • Print as many copies as your own class or family needs.
  • Your order confirmation works as a receipt for PTA or school reimbursement.
  • No email? Check spam, then write to support@digitalshelflab.com.

Questions, answered

How do I know the answer keys are right?

Check them: the sample week above includes its key, and every week closes the same way. If it isn’t what you saw here, you have 30 days.

Does it replace my district’s program?

No. It’s the daily practice and review your program doesn’t give you, in the order of the year. Use it for warm-ups, small groups, early finishers or homework.

I’m not a math person. Can I teach this?

Yes. That’s who the Say-it box is for: plain English, exactly what to say. Then short practice, and the key to check it.

I teach one grade. Why all six?

Because your class isn’t one level. Teach your grade, and reach for the grade below or above when a kid needs it. The Placement Check shows where each kid starts.

Does it line up with our standards?

Yes. It’s aligned to grade-level standards. Teaching in Canada? Grade 3 is Grade 3, and Grades 1 and 2 include a Canadian money unit.

Is it spiral or mastery?

One skill a week, one lesson a day, in the order of the year, with a review day every week. Written for the adult teaching it, not for a method.

Can’t I find this for free?

Free gets you a curriculum. It doesn’t get you daily practice in order, an answer key every week, or the words to say.

How do I get it?

Instantly, as PDF files. Print what you need.
