Mental Math Warm-ups 6th Grade

A few years ago I started adding a few mental math questions to the end of my student’s warm-ups. I couldn't believe how much my students loved trying to solve these mental math problems. They wanted mental math problems every day. So I developed this Mental Math Warm-up collection for my 6th grade class. It is now common practice in my classroom and one of my students favorite activities.

This document contains 40 weeks of questions and answers for 6th grade. I also included three blank pages so you could make some of your own questions. Print and staple or bind together to form a book.
