If you're hesitating over the price - don't! A tremendous amount of work has gone into this pack, and it's been so helpful to my students, who really struggle with maths. I bought the subtraction pack, too - also great value.

Planning to use these when we start the new school year. Task cards are great. Thank you!!!
I bought these after the subtraction ones that I just loved. I wasn't let down. These are just as brilliant as the subtraction ones. Love the games and the other activities. Thanks so much.

Hi Shelley
Is it parent friendly? Can I use it with my boy at home? Thanks
I have already bought the Additions mental math package and I now want to buy the subtraction. Had I bought them as a package there is a discount, is there anyway to adjust this after the fact?
Hi Jenn! I can certainly give you the discounted price. The only thing is that we will have to do it through my blog store since I can't provide coupon codes for TpT. Could you email me at shelley_gray_@hotmail.com with your TpT username (so that I can verify your purchase)? Thanks!

Hi Shelley,
I am very interested in purchasing both your addition and subtraction pack however I teach in French and I was wondering if I could get an editable version so that I could translate it.
Hi Stephanie! Thanks so much for your interest in my Mental Math units. Unfortunately I cannot provide editable files as it goes against the terms of use of the graphics that I use. I'm sorry!
Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
Hi Teri. At this time the posters are only sold as part of the strategy units. Sorry about that!

Thank you for the Mental Math Strategy Units: the Complete Addition Collection. I noticed you revised this. However, I am unable to get the revised version whenever I click on the link listed in my purchase. Can you send me a link or let me know how to access your revised version?
Hi there! Yes, I revised it about a month ago. I'm not sure why your account is not letting you download the revised version, but I am going to direct you to TpT Support so that they can get it figured out for you. Just copy and paste the link below into your browser and fill in a support ticket. They are usually very quick responding.

Hi there,
Concerned with the "Compressed Zip File Be sure that you have an application to open this file type before downloading and/or purchasing. " comment. I have word and the latest adobe, assuming I will have no trouble, but wanted to check first!!
Hi there! No buyers have had problems opening it so far. It is a zipped file with 6 separate PDF files inside. If you have any problems whatsoever, please email me at shelley_gray_@hotmail.com and I will take care of it!
Does the addition collection include a teacher's aid on how to teach the strategies and in what order to teach them or is it just a collection of worksheets? I am looking for a complete math curriculum of these concepts that I can teach from that includes a teacher's guide activities and worksheets. I would like to retire this tired old math textbook of dinosaur methods.
Hi Bridget. Thanks so much for your inquiry. The addition collection consists of 6 separate units for different strategies. Each unit includes notes for teachers throughout. As far as the order to teach them in, I think you will be interested to read this post from my blog called "Mental Math Addition Strategies:"
<a href="http://teachingintheearlyyears.blogspot.com/2011/10/mental-math-addition-strategies.html">Mental Math Addition Strategies</a>
Within this blog post, you will find detailed information about each strategy as well as the order that I receommend teaching them in. There is also a YouTube video embedded into that blog post that talks about each strategy and the order of teaching.
If I can help you in any other way, please feel free to email me at shelley_gray_@hotmail.com.
Have a great evening,
Shelley

I am having problems opening the files-would you be able to assist-it keeps saying that there are errors when I try to open my download.
Thanks
Hmmm...I have not heard of this happening before. Often when people have trouble viewing files it is because their Adobe Reader is not up to date. Maybe check to make sure that it is updated first. Are you using a PC or a Mac? If you would like to communicate by email, please email me at shelley_gray_@hotmail.com and I will get back to you ASAP.
