Redefine What Math Looks Like in Your Classroom
Bring the meaning and the motivation back to math without the burnout.
You don’t need another basic activity that doesn’t fit your students. You need real-world math projects, systems that actually work, and the confidence to teach like you again.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH
TEST PREP RESOURCES
Because math class should feel like a community, not a compliance check.
✏️Let’s be real: Texas teachers are out here performing miracles every day, differentiating for every level, managing behavior, prepping for STAAR, and somehow keeping their own sanity.
But you can’t spark motivation with lessons that feel disconnected from life.
👉That’s why I create plug-and-play systems, PBLs, and games that help your students see themselves in the math—so they show up, stay focused, and start believing in what they can do.
👉 This isn’t about “cute activities.” It’s about liberating your classroom from the chaos, one intentional system at a time.
Let me guess…
✏️ You’re tired of saying the same expectations every day.
✏️ Your curriculum is dry, your pacing is unrealistic, and your students are restless.
✏️ You’re managing behaviors more than you’re teaching.
✏️ You want your students to take ownership—but don’t know where to start.
✨ What if I told you there’s a way to bring structure and spark back—without reinventing everything?
Here's How I Can Help!
Support That Goes Beyond the Surface
Tools That Build Math Confidence and Classroom Control
👉 I’ve learned that when students understand expectations and have a reason to care, behavior improves. My Classroom Cash system builds that buy-in without adding to your plate.
👉 When students have clear roles, real rewards, and engaging tasks, they step up. That’s why I create self-checking activities and student-driven systems that make effort part of the routine.
👉 I’ve learned that early finisher chaos disappears when students have purposeful tasks they want to complete. My go-to early finisher activities are skill-based, low-prep, and easy to differentiate—so you can keep the learning going without stopping your lesson.

The Math Motivation System™
Structure + Purpose + Relevance = Results
I don’t create resources for picture-perfect classrooms. I make them for teachers like you—juggling behaviors, pacing guides, missing assignments, and kids who swear they “just don’t do math.”
I’ve learned that it’s not about having more strategies—it’s about having the right ones that work consistently, without burning you out.
Here’s how we make that happen:
💵 Classroom Economy
A built-in behavior and motivation system where students earn, spend, and take ownership. No extra spending, no extra chaos—just real-world accountability.
🎮 Engaging, Self-Checking Games
Because practice doesn’t have to mean worksheets. These digital + printable activities keep students challenged, competitive, and learning at their own pace.
📊 Low-Prep Review + STAAR Alignment
Say goodbye to panic test prep. Every activity reinforces TEKS skills in context—helping students master math and manage their mindset.
🧩 Early Finisher Systems
Purposeful, differentiated tasks that turn “I’m done” into “I’m growing.”
Hey Teacher Friends!
Meet Twana — The Math Money Diva 👑
I’m a middle school math teacher, Distinguished Teacher of the Year, and an unapologetic believer that structure + culture can transform your classroom.
After years of juggling behavior issues, early finisher distractions, and the pressure to “make it fun” while still meeting standards, I knew something had to change. So I built classroom systems that work—for students and me.
In my classroom, routines have a purpose, math has real-world meaning, and even reluctant learners find their stride.
After years of trying to “make it fun” while juggling STAAR, data, and discipline, I built systems that finally worked.
Now I help other middle school math teachers do the same—without losing themselves in the process.
In my classroom,
💰 Students run the economy.
📈 Math connects to real life.
💬 Routines build community.
And that energy? It’s contagious.
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start leading with purpose, you’re in the right place.
