You have my permission to print and distribute these lists for personal and classroom use, but you cannot sell them.

Free Math Flash Cards

Reviewing flash cards is an excellent way for students to memorize basic information, such math facts. I've created several sets of math flash cards you can download:

• Addition: 0 through 12, and 13 through 17

• Subtraction: 0 through 12, and 13 through 17

• Multiplication: 0 through 12

• Division: 0 through 12

Choose between vertical flash cards, which look like traditional flash cards, or horizontal cards, which require less paper to print.

Teachers have printed these for distribution in their classrooms as an economical way to provide a set of cards for each student. Students receive a set of math flash cards for free, which they can review at home or school as often as needed.

Free Multiplication Chart

A printed multiplication chart can help students learn basic multiplication facts. In addition to the math facts, the chart illustrates the multiples in an easy-to-understand, visual way.

All multiplication facts from 0x0 to 12x12 are included.

There are three sizes, from pocket size to a slightly larger size useful for hanging in the classroom or at home.

Free World & U.S. Maps

There are several world maps on this site you can download and print for your students or classroom. The maps show the outlines of the countries and/or continents.

The maps are useful when teaching students the names of continents, countries, and even world capitals. Continent names are included on the maps, but country and capital city names are not listed on most of the maps.

Ask your students write this information on the maps as a learning exercise.

The printable world maps and U.S. map include:

• Map of the World, Countries Outlined, with the Americas centered

• Map of the World, Countries Outlined, with Europe/Africa centered

• Map of the World, Coastal Outline, with the Americas centered

Free Printable Sudoku Puzzle Pages

I taught a few classes at the company where I used to work. Asking my students to solve a puzzle at the beginning of class often helped them to focus in preparation for the lesson. Here are free Sudoku puzzle pages you can give to your students:

Sudoku is a number-based logic puzzle. To solve the puzzle, you must fill in the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once in the empty spaces of each row, column, and 3x3 cell.
