Was there something I could do to make it better? I noticed you gave it a very low rating...I have only ever gotten RAVES about this product. However, if you see something that could be improved upon, I would really welcome your advice. Then perhaps you could re-rate it.

I think your common core maps look fabulous! Can you please tell me what each unit consists of? I couldn't tell which topics were covered under each unit. Thanks!
May 14, 2013
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
I am not sure what your state's units are but I am in Georgia so it pretty much follows those units, which are pretty much aligned to the Common Core Units. For instance Unit 1 is NBT1, NBT2, NBT3, MD3 and MD4.

Last year our curriculum still included long division in 3rd grade. Without this unit, my students would not have been successful. It ensured that they had a fundamental base knowledge of division that was vital to their success.

I can't edit the cover page. I would like to add my school Name on the cover page. How do i do that? will I have to purchase a PDF Converter?
May 4, 2013
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
It is converted to a PDF so it can not be changed. Unless you own the full version of Adobe Acrobat you will not be able to edit it. However, I will be more than happy to add the name of your school to the front page and send it back to you. Just send it to me.

I am quite certain I could, and that is a fabulous idea. I would have to go back and group them. As soon as I catch up on all of my new Common Core PowerPoints for third grade, I am also planning on branching out into other grades. What would you like to see bundle together? Would love to hear your ideas.

I will be more than happy to send you the ones I use in my classroom. I have yet to make a packet for the unit to sell on TpT. But I can certainly send it to you. Just send me your email address. ...... Update: I haven't heard from you yet. Just so you know sellers don't have access to buyers information so all I know is your name and what you purchased.

Karen Pritchett (TpT Seller)
Hey Liz! I think I accidentally created two Teachers Pay Teachers accounts, and I'm finally getting ready to start selling stuff on here. Can you check and see which one is linked to you? I want you to get the credit if I actually sell anything! Also, send me your link to Teacher's Notebook if you do that one too.
Thanks!

Not a question - just want to say I sure wish you did this with 4th grade common core - all the way to hundredths. You have the best looking power points I've ever seen. Just don't go into enough depth for what we need :(

I can certainly do one for you. Let me know exactly what you want and when you need it by and I will see what I came do!

Ann Penny (TpT Seller) re: Popping About the Properties of Multiplication
My 4th graders have the most trouble with th distributive property of multiplication. I can't tell from your powerpoint "Popping . . . . . . . " (popcorn one) preview if it will help me or not. Any pointers on how this or any of your other materials get it across to the students?

Karen Helms (TpT Seller) re: Popping About the Properties of Multiplication
My daughter is having trouble memorizing her multiplication facts. Will this help with that?
January 19, 2013
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
It will definitely help when she gets into the 6,7,8,9. The Commutative Property is the key. It is crazy that they can tell you what 4 x 9 is but have trouble with 9 x 4. You also might want to check out my Whiz Quizzes and Mystery of Multiplication or the PPT The Meaning of Multiplication. Understanding the meanin of multiplication will make all of the difference.

Cathey Chet (TpT Seller) re: Math Confusion: Numbers and Operation Review
How do you keep track of how many cards each student is successful at and what they need more review on?
January 6, 2013
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
As I am walking around monitoring I observe, and I also allow the kids to keep track. When competing in partners and groups they do pretty well at keeping each other honest. I also use other review assessments to let me know. But most of the time by this point everyone has mastered the concepts and this is just used as a fun review.

Kaylie Carr (TpT Seller)
Hi!! I purchased the Popping Properties and really LOVE it! I am going to use the booklet and matching game in my Math centers this week. Later, I want to use the Distributive Worksheet, but for some strange reason when I printed this sheet and the answer sheet that goes with it, the popcorn pieces on the right are all BLACK (not like it shows the matching equation on the screen). Can you tell me what I am doing wrong or how I can fix that? Thanks, Kaylie

I also bought the addition with regrouping ppt and am having similar problems. I have microsoft 2007 and the slides in the addition ppt are: 19, 21-25, and 29 and the subtraction slides are: 28-32,37,39-47,50-55 Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!!

Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
I am going to look at it right now. What version of Office do you have? And which slides are you having issues with?
I think the problem is that I created the PowerPoint in Office 2010, so there are animations and such that 2007 does not have. I can't even see where it is messed up to fix it, because every computer I have has Office 2010 on it.
I am researching to see if there is an easy solution that I am just not seeing. I will get back to you soon. I am so sorry!
Added 10:20 on 11/26/2012
I have researched somethings. One said that you may need to update your Windows/Office 2007. They have added somethings to the update to make it more compatible.
Here are directions on how to do it:
http://www.presentermedia.com/blog/2010/07/animated-templates-powerpoint-2007/
The other thing it said to do was to download the compatibility pack for 2007-2010. It said that it might could fix the problems too.
Everything I read said that this was a common problem when going through different versions of Office things. I have posted the PowerPoint on Authorstream and you might could play it directly from there to see how it is supposed to look.
I am at a loss right now, but I am not giving up! I just am finding it hard to fix it when I can't see it.

I really don't have a question, really I just want to say thank you! With the implementation of the common core, I feel as if I am barely treading water (even after 12 years of teaching). It has been helpful to me to use your materials instead of creating my own. And since we have a similar style, I feel right at home using your stuff. Thank you for your generosity, creativity, and professionalism!
October 11, 2012
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
That is awesome!! That makes all of this work worth it. I love to have fun and my goal is for kids to leave third grade loving math! I would love to have your feedback on the product, so that others can see how wonderful you find it. Thank you again. There is more to come. Some of the stuff I already had went with the Common Core and the others I am creating as I go. Look for more soon and be sure to check out the Powerpoint that goes with this one. In fact, if you send me your e-mail I will GIFT it to you:)

August 6, 2012
Tricks of the Trade (TpT Seller)
I certainly can. I saved it before to PDF though and for some reason the patterns would not show up correctly. Can you send me your e-mail and I will send it to you in several different formats? Do you have Word? I can send it in both formats.

Scipi (TpT Seller)
There really isn't any way to stop that other than saving everything in a PDF format. However, I do not save any of my tests in PDF as I want teachers to be able to change them. I do ask the buyers to keep the copyright on each test page, but there is no way for me to know if they do or not.

I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done!
I have a couple of suggestions that might help you to better market this product. You might also add a second page/slide which is a directions or suggestions page. List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page/slide. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your slides.
I teach rememdial math on the college level. Right now, I really don't have a math freebie, but I do have a word search for April. If you have time, I’d appreciate your input.
