Math Pennants

“My students absolutely LOVE these math pennants. And I hate decorating bulletin boards, so this is a painless way to keep [things] looking festive!" - iheartmath

“It all started with your free download of your order of operations pennant. My students really enjoyed doing these last school year. So, in planning for the beginning of this new school year (our beginning unit is exponents /sci notation) I was dismayed in the fact that I could not find anything on Sci Notation. Hmm... I thought ... maybe if I sent a note out to this seller maybe she could help - so I did. Let me tell everyone out there - this seller/artist ROCKS!!! Her response was quick and she created the scientific notation bundle in a heart beat!! I couldn't stop there though - I ultimately purchased this whole bundle! Thank you Shana!!! (very reputable!)” - Diane D

“This was one of the things that many of my students commented that they enjoyed when I asked them at the end of the year. They liked the opportunity to be somewhat creative. I think they felt like they were less threatening than "real" work. LOL!” - Marla B

"These are wonderful! I have seen other teachers use these, and I couldn't wait to try them! They are a wonderful short formative assessment for students, and a wonderful way to decorate the room!" - Sarah M

My original math pennants blog post started with good intentions-- post photos of math pennants. Simple idea. 

As the years went by, the post has grown to where it's a little, well a lot, overwhelming. There are math pennants and links everywhere. 

It's hard for me to believe that I have made over 100 math pennants. Because there is no way for me to blog about them all, in this post I wanted to highlight some of my favorites. 

Every one of my pennants has been a labor love to get the problems and formatting right. Still, I do have a few favorites...

Multiplying fractions.

Domain and range.

Pythagorean Theorem.

Adding and subtracting integers.

Earth Day.

Pi Day (this one is the metric version).

Comparing fraction size.

Geometric transformations.

Literal equations.

Holiday Math Pennants

I have also made a bunch of holiday math pennants. Here is a slope-intercept math pennant for Valentine's Day:

This Math Pennants bundle on Teachers Pay Teachers is home to all of my math pennants for all topics and grades:

All math pennants are also listed individually in my TpT store:

Teachers, you are so creative, resourceful and just so awesome in every way. My idea starting out making math pennants was to make a way for students to display their hard work while also decorating their classrooms. 

Teachers have emailed and left great feedback on the ways they are using math pennants with their students that go far beyond what I had imagined:

1: warm ups
2: centers
3: team building group work
4: exit tickets
5: homework
6: extra credit
7: class decor
8: part of an emergency sub folder

My favorite is #7-- class decor. I know firsthand how much kids LOVE seeing their work displayed and how motivating it is, especially on harder days. And I love being able to point to a kid's hard work when he is struggling and say, "see, you CAN do it!"
