I used this a "just starting to factor" activity. It was a different type of activity that what we usually do in class, so we enjoyed the variety.
There are a few different sets of cards, so it is worth the money.

Teresa Franklin (TpT Seller) re: Algebra I Grid Games Book
I don't have them yet, but they are actually in my cart ready to purchase. I will be purchasing them tonight - I just wanted to see about the Matching Mania before I bought them. I have looked at your samples, and they look great. I look forward to using them this fall.

Teresa Franklin (TpT Seller) re: Algebra I Grid Games Book
Do the Matching Mania for Advanced Math (digital download) and Matching Mania for Algebra II (book) contain the same activities? On the picture they have a different cover and the descriptions are different, but the heading comes up the same when I click on them. Thanks, and I look forward to using some of your products.

bethaweber re: Percents MatchingMania
I purchased the Percent version. It looked good but when looking at the table of contents, I seem to be missing part of it. Should i have purchased a different version that included all of the table of contents? Thank you!
February 7, 2013
Grid Games Galore (TpT Seller)
The percent version includes the table of contents for the whole book MatchingMania Middle School- if you are interested in the book, email me at gridgames@wildrice.com and i will email you the book.

Lura Milner (TpT Seller) re: Geometry MatchingMania
Hello, Just wanted to let you know that my class has enjoyed using your grid games and matching activities. However, we found some errors on the circles angles matching activity. (inscribed angles, etc.) The second circle, and the last two circles are not correct on the answer key or the answer dominoes themselves. They are off by two or three degrees for both x and y solutions. It was a good discussion around checking our answers - but I was hoping to get an updated version? (I have the entire Geometry matching package - how would you like to handle that?) Thank you so much!
May 28, 2012
Grid Games Galore (TpT Seller)
Let me correct those errors and send you a new, updated book. Thank you for letting me know. Please send your email to gridgames@wildrice.com and I will send you the updated, corrected version. Do you have the Geometry GridGames?
Thanks again.
Melisa
Thanks again.

The Marvelous Middle Grades (TpT Seller)
I did this activity with my class today. I believe there is a mistake on card "n". It didn't match up to cards "B" and "11" which were the only two we had left after completing the activity. There wasn't an answer key included so I couldn't check to see if I made the mistake. Let me know so I can make the change in my copy for future use.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Please make the change accordingly. But which activity are you talking about so I can change my answer key and correct the activity. Also, thank you for your assistance.

Julie Larsen re: Geometry GridGames
As an FYI, your preview for the Geometry Grid Games is the TOC for the Geometry Matching Mania.
February 29, 2012
Julie Larsen
How much overlap is there between the Geometry, Middle School, or Advanced Matching Mania. Trig seems to be in both Advanced and Geometry and Some of the Geometry seems to be in both the middle school and geometry book. If they are at different levels, that's okay but I'm interested in whether they are the exact same activities.
February 29, 2012
Grid Games Galore (TpT Seller)
The trig is the same in both the geometry book and the advanced math book. The advanced book's main emphasis on on asymptotes, rational expressions and functions, etc. And the SA and V is the same in the Middle School and the Geometry. Geometry's main emphasis is parallel lines, polygons and angles. Since you have already purchased 4 books, contact me at gridgames@wildrice.com and I will just send you a couple books. Just specify which ones you might want. And thank you for your purchases.

January 22, 2012
Grid Games Galore (TpT Seller)
You can find a complete list of table of contents on my website: www.gridgamesgalore.com. Or, if you would send me your email address, I would be happy to send you a pdf of the table of contents. The problem is the book contains over 33 concepts, and they are too numerous to list here. So, if this answer is not satisfactory and you are unable to view the website or send me an email, reply back and I will type the extensive list for you. Is that okay??? Thanks for your question.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have 31 years of teaching experience - 23 of those teaching in a small school setting where I was the ONLY math teacher. I currently teach in a large urban school, teaching Algebra I, Pre-AP Calculus and AP Calculus. I helped co-create our Algebra I curriculum to aid in success on the state tests. Scores went from 21% to over 80% since we rewrote the curriculum.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I believe math is a class attached to a student's self-esteem. If they believe in themselves and believe they can do it, they will succeed. Sometimes, I have to build the self esteem before I can begin to teach the math.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Teacher of the Year at Shawnee HS, Macomb PS and Coyle PS. I was also an Oklahoma Teacher of the Year finalist. I won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching in 1995 and I am a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescent Math. However, being selected by a student to attend the Academic All State Banquet was one of the greatest honors I have ever received.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Attended Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes) for most of my undergraduate work. Then I transfered to the Unversity of Central Oklahoma where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree. After a LONG wait, I graduated from East Central University with my Masters Degree in high school counseling.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
My husband Chris and I are blessed with 2 wonderful adult children and their spouses. Ashley and her husband, Marcus, live in Yukon. Christopher and his wife, Jody, live in Cushing. They have 4 beautiful babies - Landon, Lauren, Blake and our newest arrival - Lance.
