My pleasure! I had a spanish-speaking friend translate the spanish version for me and though I don't speak spanish, those parents wrote back to me in spanish so I guess the translation was correct! :-)

I wish this was in a Word format too, so it would be easy to replace pieces or reword it; however, I was able to export to Word and redo some of it, though there were parts I couldn't change. I do love how thorough it is and the option of spanish. :) Plus, I print 2 reports on one paper!
November 4, 2012
Cindy Berenter (TpT Seller)
I'm glad you enjoy it! I do apologize for not having it in Word. I rarely use Word (though I should, I know) so I don't have anything that was originated there. Thanks for the feedback, though!

Thank you for telling me that, Carmen.
I did have several native Spanish speakers translate it for me and was told that my original word choice was too formal. I thought it had been modified correctly but I will ask them to translate it again.

Kickin' it With Class (TpT Seller)
Love this for a morning warm up - just started place value unit and this is a great way to quickly assess if they understand the concepts being taught. I also love that it will help build number sense for quicker mental math.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Good morning! I am a first grade teacher, formerly PK teacher. I just finished my masters in May (yea!) with a degree in Mind, Brain and Education – a subfield of education. The first program was started at Harvard by Howard Gardner and Kurt Fisher (if you haven’t read any of Kurt Fisher’s work on Skill Theory and you are interested in the cognitive processes involved in learning, you must read his work!)
Cut to the chase. When I moved up from PK to 1st I was shocked by my students’ lack of number sense. I spent an entire year and all last summer trying to figure out what was missing. In Nov I attended a workshop that on number sense. When I heard the presentation I recognized all the “big” names of the research I had been investigating. The workshop was a training session for an iPad app (Native Numbers). It seemed like a valid, robust app, but I am a skeptic and had to know: would this really work.
I am here to tell you that with the first skill set I saw every cognitive model of learning embedded in this app. I also realized that this app is more than a learning tool; it has built in formative and summative assessment as it is adaptive and levels up and down based on student performance and leads to mastery.
Now I am on a “mission” – everything we read tells us our students are lacking number sense. I believe this app is a fabulous tool to remediate those deficits. I have no vested interest in this app except that I am one of those people that has to solve problems and when I think I have found possible answers, I have to share that with others. Our kids are too important not to share---which is why I love reading blogs! I am asking for teachers to simply read the research and then try out the app and give me feedback---or give the feedback yourself to the developers. I am that convinced. I am not a salesman and I feel quite strange in this new role I have taken upon myself…but I have nothing to lose, or gain, except knowing that maybe we can have an enormous impact on our students!
If you have any questions, please e-mail me at tatergraderswife@yahoo.com Check out the app at www.nativebrain.com – you can find the background of the developers and read about the research behind the app. You can also watch a video on that site or go to these YouTube links:

I really like this form, but I would need to make some changes as well. Would you be able to do that? Thanks so much!

Hi, Kathleen!
I do not have the Harcourt lesson plans for sale at this time. I was hoping to get some feedback if this would be something worthwhile for people to buy. They are ready to go (I just need to tweak a few minor things), but I wanted to see if there might be enough interest to make it an item for sale.
77 downloads later, it looks like I may be putting it up for sale soon!
Thanks for the inquiry!

Hi there, is it possible to see a picture of one of these completed? wondering what expanded form looks like. Thanks heaps :)
October 9, 2012
Cindy Berenter (TpT Seller)
Hi there! I am on break right now so I don't have access to a completed page. Expanded form, though, would just look like this, for example:
356=300+50+6.
Hope that helps!
Cindy
356=300+50+6.
Hope that helps!

Would I be able to type directly on this form?
September 24, 2012
Cindy Berenter (TpT Seller)
Unfortunately, no. Sorry about that! It is a PDF and was created on a rather archaic program (I'm almost embarrassed to say the name of it!), but if you choose to download it, please do let me know what changes you would like made and I can e-mail you personally with the changes made to your specifications.

I like this form, simple yet impactful. I also would love to see one for larger numbers. up to hundred thousands and another up to billions possibly to use in intervention with multiple grade levels. Thanks so much.

I have just recently posted a freebie that uses numbers up to millions. Enjoy!

lmooresgallant re: Math book insert
May be a silly question, but, what do you mean by "Write the number a different way"?
August 27, 2012
Cindy Berenter (TpT Seller)
Hi, Suzanne! Basically, by "Write the number a different way", I meant to represent it using different numbers. For example, if the number you chose was 137, a "different" way could be 100+37 or 50+50+37 or 200-63, etc.
Since they're already getting expanded notation practice on the page, I felt it would be a good way to expand their number sense by showing how the same number can be represented in many different ways. Hope that helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have taught for 13 years; all in public school. I have taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades, and as it turns out, my heart is in 2nd grade-the little ones are so sweet!
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love to use hands-on learning and I encourage my students to fully participate in their own learning. I also love to have a bright, colorful classroom with lots of eye-catching clipart and graphics. I hope you find my items here to have those same characteristics!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a B.A.E. from Arizona State University (Go, Devils!) and an ELD Endorsement.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I am the proud Mom of two beautiful daughters; both teenagers! My oldest is mildly Autistic. So that presents some parenting and life challenges, as well as giving me a unique perspective on kiddos with Special Needs.
