Built by a Texas middle school math teacher · Campus Teacher of the Year 2024–2025
If this is your classroom right now…
Planning: You’re staring at your pacing guide, trying to figure out what to teach and how to teach it.
Resources: You’re pulling from Google, old lessons, and random PDFs, and it still doesn’t feel connected.
Behavior: You’re spending more time managing behavior than teaching math.
Ownership: Students are going through the motions, and you’re carrying the weight of everything.
And every week, you’re back at square one.
Real talk
You don’t need more resources.
You need a system.
Most math teachers aren’t short on materials. They’re short on connection. When your lessons, review, small groups, and classroom systems work together, planning gets easier, students get more accountable, and teaching feels manageable again.

The classroom systems + resource membership for middle school math teachers who want engaged, accountable students without planning from scratch every week.

The Classroom Economy Hub💰
Build a classroom where students earn, save, spend, budget, and take ownership, with one complete system.

The Systems Lab: Monthly PD🗣️
Because resources alone aren’t enough. Each month you get practical workshops on the systems that save time and build student ownership: small groups, stations, classroom economy, test prep, and more.
Every session comes with a focused training, downloadable templates, and tools you can use the next day. Implementation, not theory.

What teachers are saying...
Meet your teacher friend
I’m Twana, the Math Money Diva 👑
I’ve been where you are: juggling behavior, early finishers, state testing pressure, and spending Sunday afternoons piecing together a week of lessons from everywhere.
Here’s what I learned: engagement without structure doesn’t last. So I stopped piecing things together and started building systems that work. The Math Money Lab is those systems, ready for your classroom.

Still have questions? Let’s clear that up.
How is this different from just buying on TPT?
My TPT store is perfect for buying individual resources. The Math Money Lab gives you ongoing access to a growing library of resources, classroom systems, monthly additions, and teacher support, all in one place.
What’s the difference between the plans?
Systems Lab ($99/year) is the PD only: monthly Systems Lab trainings plus the templates and tools to put them into practice.
Lab VIP ($19/month or $199/year) gets you everything: the full Math Money Lab resource library, the Classroom Economy Hub, and the Systems Lab monthly PD.
Are the resources standards-aligned?
Yes! Resources are aligned to the appropriate state standards when applicable, and a TEKS Alignment Guide is included to help you quickly find what you need.
How often is new content added?
New resources are added every month, along with seasonal activities, classroom tools, and VIP training for eligible members. 6th grade has the most resources, and 5th grade resources are added monthly.
I’m already busy. Will this take more time?
No, this is designed to give you time back. Everything inside is ready to use, so you’re not spending hours searching, planning, or piecing lessons together. You log in, grab what you need, and use it right away.
When do I get access?
As soon as you join, you’ll have immediate access to everything inside The Math Money Lab. If you join as a Lab VIP, you’ll also have access to The Systems Lab PD sessions, with new ones added every month.
Who is this best for?
The Math Money Lab is currently best suited for 6th grade math teachers, with a growing collection of resources for 5th grade and plans to expand into 7th grade over time.
If you teach 5th grade, you’ll also find real-world math activities, classroom systems, and flexible tools that work across grade levels.
Will more grade levels be added?
Yes! While 6th grade is the most robust library right now, I’m actively adding 5th grade resources, with 7th grade planned. Members automatically get new resources included with their membership level as they’re added.
What programs do I need to use the resources?
Resources come in a variety of formats, including PDF, PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Google Sheets. Each download lists the file types included.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel a monthly membership anytime. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing cycle, and you won’t be charged again.
Do you offer refunds?
Because you get immediate access to the digital library, courses, and member resources, memberships are non-refundable. You’re welcome to cancel anytime, and you’ll keep access through the end of your current billing period. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees.
Annual memberships are also non-refundable because of immediate access to all digital content.
