As teachers, we know that being sick can sometimes feel like more work than actually going to school. One of the biggest stressors is having to write detailed sub plans, especially when it comes to math. That’s why we’ve created an emergency sub plan specifically for 5th-grade math teachers, so you can take a day off worry-free!

Our emergency sub plan covers standards 5.OA.A.1 and 5.OA.A.2: Writing and Interpreting Expressions, ensuring that your students continue learning seamlessly even when you’re not there. One of the standout features of our plan is the inclusion of video tutorials for all the problems in the do-now and practice worksheets. This means that your substitute teacher can easily guide your students through the lesson, even if they’re not a math expert.

But it’s not just about the lesson content. We’ve also included a range of resources to support your substitute teacher, including a thank-you letter and sample information, a sample schedule, and editable versions for personalization. There are also teacher tip sheets explaining the process for the do-now, practice worksheets, and exit ticket, ensuring that your substitute is fully prepared for the day ahead.

One of the most convenient aspects of our plan is the inclusion of URLs for the do-now and practice problem worksheets, making it easy for students to access instructional videos. Additionally, we’ve included a positive behavior incentive tracker to help your substitute manage student behavior.

Taking a day off shouldn’t mean worrying about your students falling behind. With our emergency sub plan, you can confidently take a day off, knowing that your class is in good hands. Say goodbye to the stress of writing sub plans and hello to a well-deserved day off!
