Say goodbye to last-minute stressing trying to find work for your sub with this fun and engaging Crocs themed lesson. With this no-prep last-minute emergency Sub Plan for Math, your 4th, 5th, or even 6th grade students will WANT to work and stay on task as they read about the Crocs phenomenon, and get quizzed on practice problems that are all Crocs-themed. Packed with engaging activities, this ready-to-use set is ready for your sub tub, and designed to ease the burden of substitute teacher planning while keeping students engaged and motivated.

You'll get a stand-alone resource that was designed to offer a print-and-go sub-plan solution for Upper Elementary Math teachers who don't have time to prep their lessons when they need to be out.

Students read a short pop culture math-themed article on Crocs and you get fun and engaging lessons that will help review important skills in math. Two fun math puzzles are also included, as well as a design your own Croc (and word problem) page.

I always leave my sub binder on my desk for a sub, administrator, or colleague to grab in case of an emergency. I feel at ease knowing my students are engaged, productive, and learning even when I have to be out of the classroom.

No more scrambling at the last minute to find review pages that you hope the students can complete. By using these substitute plans (after you have taught multiplication), you will be providing meaningful sub work that you know your students can complete.

What's included:

6 Page Crocs Sub Plan

• "Math in Pop Culture" - 1 page introductory article on Crocs and Math
• Critical Thinking - 7 Crocs-themed multiple-choice word problems
• Word problems - 5 Crocs-themed open-ended word problems
• Multiplication and Division Crossword Puzzle - How Well Do You Know Your Math Facts?
• Crocs Design Page - DIY Word Problem
• Addition MAZE - Can You Help the Croc Find Its Pair_? (the correct maze path will reveal a series of numbers students will then need to compute.)_

***Your students will need to have been taught multiplication and be able to calculate basic percentages before using this lesson.***

***CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW TO VIEW EACH PAGE AND SEE IF IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU!***

Simply print and go! This packet can be used in a multitude of ways, and not solely for sub work.

There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for:

• sub plans
• bell ringers
• homework
• test prep
• review
• assessment

Activity: Students can complete all six worksheets as part of a sub packet, but if you don't see them for a full block then assign only one page each day you're out (you'll get even more bang for your buck!) All answer keys are included!

The unique aspect of this emergency sub resource is that it focuses on a specific, high-interest theme of Crocs - which provides instant engagement! Because you already have their interest, students will focus on applying their skills to real-world problems and be able to show off what they know!
