FEEDBACK

At first I thought my printer and/or computer was on the fritz. But, it turns out that it was just that the file was so large. I guess because of the background designs... Any how, I think it's worth mentioning to prospective buyers that file may take a really long time to spool. Mine took 30 minutes to load before printing started...no exaggeration!
Overall I like the way product looks, but haven't checked for accuracy yet.

Yes, it is a large file. I'm sorry that it took so long to load. It does take mine a few minutes. Thanks for the suggestion.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
sevvys re: Go Fish Integer Multiplication
In the directions for this game, it says "subtracting integers" when it should say multiplying integers. Would you please correct it and let me know when I can download the revised version? Thank you.

HNCFan17 re: Multiplying Fractions Panda Pirate Find
Hi--I just bought this and I was wondering if an answer sheet for the kids to record their answers is supposed to be included? On the directions page, it indicates that there should be one but I can't find anything in the included document except for the task cards and answer key for the teacher. Just wanted to clarify if there should/shouldn't be one. Thanks!
-EDIT: That does help, thank you!

I have my students work the problem on the card they received and then I put the teacher answer key on my podium for them to check their answer. When they know their answer, they can confirm if the other students get that answer as they share problems. Does that help?

Do you have this in a black and white version like the sheep example on your blog? I would like to see it in b/w to print for students... thanks!
February 18, 2013
For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
I don't have it in black and white. I printed mine in black and white. You can usually go into your settings before you print and choose "grey scale" or "black and white." Sorry. Those graphics only came in color.

This is super cute and I want to use for after school tomorrow. Just wondering....is there a typo in the number of packages Santa has or does the jolly man have a portion of a present?
December 19, 2012
For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
Lol. He has a portion of a present. I know it doesn't really make sense, but I was wanting to use fractions and decimals. You can always tell them that it's a partially made present maybe. Thanks for the compliment, and I'm so glad you can use them.

jen2one re: Dividing a Whole Number by a Fractions Find Game
Should there be an answer sheet included in this set? Not the answer key, but you refer to an answer sheet in the directions that the students use to write down their solutions.
November 29, 2012
For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
I did say that in the directions, and I did include an answer sheet with one of the other "find" activities. I quit putting them in it because I was just having my students write their answers in their math journal. I can very easily send you an answer sheet if you want. Send me an e-mail and I can e-mail you a copy. Here is my e-mail fortheloveofteachingmath@gmail.com Thank you so much for your purchases!

Hi and I love your activities! I came across the HillBilly Roadkill Hunt on Pinterest and love it! I can't find it anywhere. Is it included in the frog activity on mixed numbers and improper fractions?

No. It is a freebie download on the actual blog. If you click on, I think, the second picture from the top, you can get the download for free. Thank you so much for the compliment!!! I'm glad I can be of help.

Algebra4All (TpT Seller) re: Solving Equations Fortune Teller Packet
I understand how these are made, we used to call them "cootie catchers", but what I don't understand is how they work with the equations. Can you walk me through what the students do once they have the fortune teller folded? And what is their motivation? Is there a fortune written inside or are they just checking if their answer was right?
August 31, 2012
For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
What's funny is that I totally remember making them when I was in school, but I cannot remember what the heck we called them. The first time we made them in my classes, the students called them "fortune tellers" because the ones they make with their friends tell them what was going to happen when they grew up. That's why I call them a fortune teller. It wasn't until later that I realized most people called them cootie catchers. In my classes, I put the students in groups of two. One person holds the "cootie catcher" and the other person chooses a number. The student holding the catcher will open it back and forth the number of times as the student chose. The student not holding the catcher then chooses one of those equations and solves it. The student holding the catcher then lifts the flap to check to see if the answer is correct. They then trade places and continue until they've solved all of the questions. It's just a different and fun way of getting students to work a few problems. Thank you so much for your purchase. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Thanks!

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I've had several others download it, and haven't heard anything from them. I just downloaded it from my dashboard, and it worked fine. I would contact TPT customer service. They are excellent at getting glitches fixed extremely fast. Here is a link to their customer service http://support.teacherspayteachers.com/ If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a Google Docs link for it.

KimAPowell re: Hunger Games Coordinate Graph
How many ordered pairs are there in the list to make this picture? Thanks!
July 31, 2012
For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
There are 62 ordered pairs. I teach sixth grade math, and it was a nice challenge for some of them. They were extremely eager to do it, and worked diligently on it just because it was The Hunger Games. The seventh grade teachers in my building used it with their students (who loved it), and I had someone comment that their advanced 4th graders loved it. Thank you for your question! I hope you enjoy the products!

Hello! I've been reading your posts on your blog all evening! I'm a brand new Jr. High math teacher (7th, 8th, advanced 7th, and pre-alg.) Many of the things you've said in your posts are now my reality. You talked about something that really changed your way of teaching and pushed you to teach more for mastery and with the aim of getting to EVERY student. This HANDS ON MATH book! Would you happen to remember who publishes this book? I would love to give it a look through and possibly add it to my horrible curriculum that I am tied down to. I'm such an energetic and fun teacher, at least I think I am, and I try to do as many hands-on activities to help students see and feel the math instead of doing boring lectures with students drooling as they fall asleep at the sound of my voice! Lol! I would really appreciate any references or materials that you could recommend that helped you! Thanks for the awesome posts!

For the Love of Teaching Math (TpT Seller)
I am so glad you've enjoyed my blog! I have such a great time with it! I don't know if you saw the page "Resource Books in My Class", but it has most of the books I use. Here is a link to that page http://www.fortheloveofteachingmath.com/resources/ I also found the book "Hands on Math". There is also one called "Hands on Algebra". Here is a link to each of them on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Hands-On-Math-Ready-Use-Activities/dp/0876283830 and http://www.amazon.com/Hands-On-Algebra-Ready-To-Use-Activities-Grades/dp/0876283865 For sure look at that page on my blog about the Resources I Use. Another book called The Middle School Mathematician is another excellent book. It's got a lot of AMAZING games in it! Please, please, please let me know if you have any questions. Let me know what specific math skill you are working on, and I can give you more specific resources and materials for it. Good luck and keep in touch!
