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:

suzycutie re: Zoo Cube Roll Game
Love this idea. I did notice that you used the word "column" instead of "row" throughout the game and instructions. It should be row since it goes across and not up and down.
Also, a request...could you include a colored (the animals) graph sheet. Instead of running a copy for each child to use at a station I will laminate it and let them use dry erase markers on it. Saves paper and the kids love using dry erase markers.
Thanks so much. Love these for stations and to do as a class graph from time to time when teaching a new concept about graphing. :)

Hi, I have enjoyed looking through your tpt shop and purchased several items. I really like them!
I have a quick question......would it be possible to make a reader to go along with the alphabet poster/word wall cards/chart.......I would love to have a simple reader to go along with the pictures on the cards/charts. Aa apple. Bb butterfly. Cc cat. Dd dog.
Just really simple. They could read and color it!
Thanks for the consideration.

MMosiman re: Gingerbread Math & Literacy Printable Packet
I purchased the Gingerbread unit to do with my daughter's preschool class for their holiday party! They loved the games and had a blast choosing different academic centers for their party time. I did notice, however, that one of the pattern pages does not have all the pieces to complete the pattern. It is page 68 of the packet. The first strip has a pilgrim girl and boy in it...but there is no pilgrim boy and girl to cut out and put in the pattern. The pilgrims don't seem to go with the gingerbread theme! Thanks for a great packet!

Hi! I love your products but I have a problem with your Math Centers Time Saver. Some of the pages have a problem with the printing. The tic-tac-number with four games 1-10 has a part of the border than runs horizontally across the right middle portion of the page. The dot game page has a tiny bit of border that is also across the right middle portion of the page. I haven't printed out every page yet but noticed these two problems so far. Is there a way you could fix these and send out the fix? I know you are super busy this time of year but thought you should be aware of this problem. Thank you so much!

Hello! I purchased this product last year. I am terrible at making the cubes; they always turn out lopsided. LOL Would it be possible for you to enlarge the images so that I could insert them into a plastic photo-type cube that I have? The images would have to be approx. 3 inches tall. Thank you so much for considering this request! :)
