I just purchased Equivalent Fractions flipchart. Is there anyway you can send it to me in another format? I have smart notebook, and although I read your comment to others about needing Promethean, I thought that it was only needed for a certain slide because you referred to it as a flipchart. My silly thinking...anyways, just wanted to check with you to see if I could get it some other way. Thank you!!
March 10, 2013
Amanda McDonald (TpT Seller)
How exactly are you wanting it? I use activinspire which you can download for free. I'll do what I can if you will let me know what format you had in mind.

Hey Amanda, did you get my question from Friday, the 18th? I'm not sure if it went through. My email is lindseysmyre@gmail.com if you want to communicate that way. Thanks in advance! :)

Hey Amanda, I just bought your Equivalent Fractions flipchart and I am looking forward to using it with my class. However, when I got to the matching penguin activity at the end of the flipchart, there were two penguins that would not go into the corresponding boxes. These were the fractions and penguins: 2/3-4/6, 10/20-1/2, and 3/4-6/8. Have you or anyone else had problems with this before. Let me know what you think or if there is a way to fix this. I love the product; thanks for sharing! My email is lindseysmyre@gmail.com if you would rather email me. Thanks!
January 18, 2013
Amanda McDonald (TpT Seller)
I've noticed that sometimes when opening flipcharts on different computers can change random things such as text size and sounds. I've not heard anyone having a problem with this flipchart before, but I'll look at it. Is it rejecting the penguin from the box or is it just not making a sound when you put the penguin in the box?

Ohh, I just got it! Lol It's been a long day. ;) Please disregard my first message. Thank you anyways! I can't wait to use your Fractions War cards.

Amanda McDonald (TpT Seller)
Well I just e-mailed you before I got this! :-) Glad you got it now!
January 14, 2013
lindseysmyre re: Comparing Fractions War
I am a new teacher and I was taught to create a common denominator when comparing fractions, but you suggested to cross multiple. How does that work? It seems easier so I'm very interested. Will it work with 1/2 x 1/3? because that would mean that 1/3 is greater, which is incorrect. I would really appreciate to be taught this method. :) If you'd rather email me, my email is lindseysmyre@sevier.org. Thanks! :)

Hi, Amanda! This is a cute song that I think I'm will use soon when my fifth graders add and subtract fractions. Just wanted to let you know "denominator" is not spelled correctly on one of the lines.
Thank you for sharing your product as a freebie!

rothjr3 re: Learn the Parts of a Cell through Songs
I don't understand the rhythm or lyrical songs at all. Please explain. ta-ti does nto make sense to me. I thought it was going to be to tunes I would know...like Mary had a Little Lamb or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Maybe I need to get a refund because I can't use this.
September 3, 2012
Amanda McDonald (TpT Seller)
I am sorry. Ta and Ti are musical notations for rhythm. If you would allow me a couple days I will upload a video singing the songs so that you can know the rhythm.
Update: I have included the video so that you can hear the songs. I hope you enjoy and I hope it helps!

anniekk re: Decimal War (Comparing Decimals)
Not a question, but a comment - I copied two sets on one sheet of card stock. They are large and use a bit of ink when they are that size ( ink can add up quickly - especially if I keep buying all these fun games :) ). It's just a thought. I really love your work.

BrandiTBD re: Geometry: Polygon Song
Hi! I love your polygon song- it's so catchy, and the students loved it. I just noticed a couple of typos, and was wondering if you could fix them so I could reprint?
In the second line, it says "polgon", but should read polygon.
In the last stanza, it says "octupuses legs", but it should read "octopus's legs"
Thanks so much!! :)

C Dozier (TpT Seller) re: I have... Who has... Decimal Place Value in the Tenths
I notice your place values you stop in tenths on the sample image. Is this the case with all the other ones? I teach up to the hundredth place.
March 18, 2012
Amanda McDonald (TpT Seller)
Yes this game stops at the tenths. I am in the process of making one to the hundredths so there will be an easier and harder version. I hope to have it posted by Monday! :-)
Hundredths is on the site now :-) Check it out here...

For this version you do need an activ board, but I will happily change it into a PDF or Powerpoint version. It includes lyrics, but does not include music.

I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I am so happy you put the Polygon song in a PDF format. I rate it, downloaded it, and have already filed it away.

Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Hello, my name is Amanda McDonald and I have been teaching 4th grade for 4 years. I love my job and feel that it is the calling on my life. For 2 years I taught all subjects, but 4th grade has departmentalized and now I teach Math, Science, and Social Studies to about 40 students. I am always looking for new and better ways to teach . My goal is to make learning fun for my students! www.mcdonaldgrade4.blogspot.com
MY TEACHING STYLE
I like to teach math as kinesthetically as possible, and include as many fun aspects as I can! I use a lot of manipulatives, games, songs, and group work to try and make math learning fun! Math is my favorite subject and I want teach in a way that my kids will love it as much as I do!
