Description
This BUNDLED resource includes both the original Sticky Math program with the additional Sticky Math sheets for a total of 4 Sticky Math sheets for each level.
Say goodbye to timed tests that stress students and teachers out! No more correcting, no more copies, no more stress.
Sticky Math is a fun and new way for your students to practice their math facts in a developmentally appropriate and self motivating way!
Students receive a sticky math sheet. The students are racing against themselves and don’t have to share their scores with the rest of the class.
When the teacher says “go” the students solve the problems as quickly as they can. When the teachers says “stop” the students place their sticky note on the last problem that they completed. This process is repeated two more times. Each time this is done, the students try to beat their previous score.

I enjoyed using this for students to test their own fluency. They enjoyed getting to beat themselves to get better at their facts.

Love this resource!! My kids love trying to beat their last sticky note! We did divide the boxes in half at the bottom so we can check our answers. As part of our schoolwide intervention program the kids use data binders to track how many of their facts they know. So the top number is how many we completed in the minute and the bottom is how many were correct.

My students love using this resource. They get very competitive and I reinforce that they are only competing against themselves. I printed a couple and put them in sheet protectors. This is great practice for their math fluency.

Lucky Little Learners never disappoints. My students are always ready to do Sticky Math I have also had parents share that their child does more than 3 times because they want to beat their time.
Cristi A. –
My students LOVED this resource. They didn’t see it as learning their addition facts, but they saw this as a competition with themselves (but they were learning at the same time).
Grace Z. –
Sticky Math is a highlight of my students’ day! I am so grateful for this non-stressful, yet engaging, way for my students to master their facts! Thank you!
Kara S. –
I love how competitive my students get within themselves to keep improving and beat their current score. It is a great way to practice their addition and subtraction fluency.
Karenan S. –
My students looked forward to this type of assessment. Knowing that they were only timing themselves and could go back and respond after the time was up helped with those that get anxious about timed tests. Great way to encourage a growth mindset.
Elementary Champions –
My kids actually… ENJOY… doing their math facts practice now! It’s so perfect! I also love how there are sheets to practice doubles, adding a specific number, and mixed practice. It is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
Annie D. –
LOVE that this is an alternative to timed math fact tests! It gives students practice and a chance to improve without the added pressure of a graded timed test.
Raphael F. –
I like the idea to use this as a re-usable resource (ex: clear pockets). The students enjoy trying to beat their own score.
leann B. –
My Students absolutely loved this resource! We needed some serious practice with our math facts and this was the perfect way to do it they love using the sticky note and it’s super easy to prep! I’m very very
Melanie M. –
These fact worksheets are so engaging for my students. It helps them set goals for themselves and they love seeing their progress! Great resource!
Donna Hanic –
My students love using this to open our math lesson daily. We are seeing some real growth and they enjoy tracking their own progress. Thanks!
Kelly H. –
My students are loving this resource! I wish I would have found it sooner! They are super motivated to do better each day.
Renee B. –
I used this as a strategy to help students that were struggling with math fact fluency. They loved to see if they could beat their record. Highly recommend if you need something for fact fluency. I put it in a pouch that dry erase markers could write on and they could erase after each time and it was easy to reuse.
Joy F. –
This is such a fun way to help my students practice their facts! I have some students asking to do this outside of math time. Thanks so much!
Traci F. –
I used this activity with several of my struggling students who needed a little more work with their facts. I had one particular student who liked to race against the clock to see how quickly he could get them done. It was an added challenge for him, but it motivated him to be able to beat his last time.
Ashley S –
I love using this resource with my students. It’s a fun way for them to practice their math facts and to focus on their own achievements instead of focusing on how their peers around them are performing.
Jill T. –
My students LOVE Sticky Math. This has helped their fluency and their confidence. They love the competition with themselves. The tracking sheet is fantastic!
Nicole S. –
I use these everyday as one of my math rotations. Students know to go here when there work is complete and work to improve there fact fluency. It is great practice for them. I love your blog post that you provided to teach more about it too.
Theresa V. –
My students love Sticky Math. This has helped their fluency and their confidence. We used it everyday as part of our small group math.
Malinda Tecumseh –
My students love these! It was so easy for each student to be able to work at their own level. I kept them in sheet protectors and students could work on them anytime they finished work.
Kristin S. –
My students were so excited to beat their first score they didn’t even realize they were learning! This is a simple to explain, engaging resource that got my students excited about learning math facts again.
Lisa M. –
I was looking for a “no pressure” way to encourage my students to practice their basic math facts. This works amazingly well!!!
Margo H. –
My students enjoy taking the 1 minute timings and seeing improvement with each test. I like that students are competing against themselves instead of each other.
Jenna E. –
I love this product! I’ve done timings in the past but it is so stressful for kids. Having them do it 3 times, and only competing with themselves has taken away the pressure and made them stronger at their facts. They love sticky math (something about the simple sticky note!!!)!!!!
Ellen Autery –
I use this resource almost every day in the classroom. It is super helpful for practicing fluency. My students enjoy it. I love it!
Danielle Bradt –
Love all your resources! This being one of my top favs. Making fluency fun, is often difficult however this makes it fun and challenging.
Little Lulu’s Learning –
An excellent resource. It saved me a huge amount of time and the students understood and liked the repetition. There is a building of skills as the months progress. I great resource for the cost.
Teresa W. –
Prior to Sticky Math, written and timed fluency practice was hum drum at best. Now my students beg to do Sticky Math and are working very hard to improve their individual progress. We use this resource faithfully every Wednesday and I never have to ask individuals to get materials ready. This is an A+ product for sure.
Tracy K. –
Wonderful product! My third graders are still working on mastering fact fluency and this is fun way to practice. They love this activity so much! Thanks!
Corey Z, –
My students love using sticky math. They love to try and beat their previous score. That’s my favorite part, it’s all for fun; they are not competing against each other, just themselves.
Janna T. –
This is easily adaptable. I loved using it AFTER my students have mastered the concepts of numbers and how to use them concretely.
Kerri T. –
I love a quick fluency lesson. We do FIVE min math each day. I cut the sheets in half and students know to grade a sheet right when they walk in the door. Then they swag and grade each others work. Fluency is improving on math facts!
Heather M. –
I use these to play a game we call musical math. A whole group of students work to complete their worksheets by rotating around the table taking turns as the music plays. When it stops, they rotate. It’s nice because everyone gets to help on each sheet and no one is left feeling like the “slow” person. Group effort and lots of fun!
BreAnne D. –
My kids love using sticky math! Once we became confident with adding or subtracting, we timed ours to see how many we could complete in 3 minutes! It was such a fun challenge! My kids have become more confident in their math skills!
Haley Y. –
I start every small math group with some sticky math and my students are always begging to do more. It is much more engaging then an old fashioned time test and takes the pressure off the student. Now our math has become more about goal setting and beating themselves then their neighbors.
Michelle B. –
My students love these! We use them in student managed centers for fluency practice. They are a great resource and super easy to use and manage.
Danielle S. –
My class loved this as a math warm up more than half way through the year. They would ask for it even when I didn’t have it planned.
Emilee R. –
This resource has been perfect for my students who are more reluctant when it comes to fact fluency. They know it only takes a couple minutes and there is no pressure.
Sasha B. –
I LOVE this as an alternative to the Math Rockets. This is a great, low pressure way for the students to have the same outcome without all of the anxiety. My students loved it. Plus, who doesn’t love using post its?
Kidd Kreations –
This is a great resource to meet the math fact fluency piece of a math classroom. I was needing something that was useful and efficient to measure my student’s math facts knowledge.
Authentic French Learning –
I love that this activity challenges students to improve their own skills and not worry about comparing themselves to others. My students love sharing how they’ve improved! Thank you !

This is an absolutely incredible resource. My team was told to incorporate more math fact fluency activities into our math block, and my kids have responded REALLY well to Sticky Math. They get so excited and beg to do it “one more time!!”…every time. They are so proud of themselves every time they beat their own record. I also appreciate the variety of different sheets so you can mix it up, but still have the same routine. This is so easy to implement, and it has made a world of difference for my kids. Thank you so much for sharing!
Alexandra R. –
My second grade students LOVED sticky math to practice their math facts. They had fun and enjoyed beating their own “scores.”
Angela S. –
My students love using this resource as they ask to do it every day. The best part of it is that the students are working based on their own abilities and they can see their own growth when they pass the sticky marker. It is very motivational, even for those that struggle with math. My lowest student who usually gives up, keeps trying. She is proud of herself as she gets better with adding.
