Teaching Resources

You are a teacher, not a round-the-clock curriculum designer.

At TeamTom Education, we provide no-prep, rigorous teaching resources that engage students and give you your time back. Designed with the realities of the classroom in mind, our materials seamlessly bridge the gap between complex state standards and real student success. From STAAR-aligned task cards to immersive digital escape rooms, let us handle the heavy lifting of lesson prep so you can focus on what you do best: teaching.


Task Cards

These teaching resources are the most essential ingredient in the toolkit. Versatile, easy-to-use, and engaging for students.

Reading Task Cards

Everything from simple skills such as identifying details to complex skills including drawing conclusions, making inferences, and context clues.

Test Prep

It’s test prep that feels nothing like test prep! Use these task cards in small groups, paired practice, and whole class games.

Math Task Cards

Based on grade level topics with focused practice that’s engaging and non-itimidating. Aligned to standards, in-tune with students.

STAAR Task Cards

For our Texas teachers, we have teacher-created, time-tested task cards. No other resource is better aligned with STAAR.

Escape Rooms and Scavenger Hunts

Give your students immersive experiences – physical and digital! Schools cramped as it is. Long days under flourescant lights with one task after the other. Might as well make it fun. These resources combine content knowledge and disciplinary skills with critical thinking habits of mind.

How to Use a Scavenger Hunt

The tasks are segmented and posted around the room or hall. Each student or group answers questions for your content area. When answered correctly, the hunt will be solved. So it’s instant self-checking feedback.

Escape Rooms

These are the digital equivalent of physical escape rooms. Students log in to an escape room, solve content-area problems, and only escape when they get correct answers.

Aligned with Standards

More than just labeled with a standard, these teaching resources match the rigor and content as well as format of state and national standards.
