Thinking Blocks is an engaging, interactive math tool developed by classroom teachers to help students learn how to solve multistep word problems. http://www.mathplayground.com/thinkingblocks.html
Who thought of that? (A web quest on Mathematicians)This web quest uses a scavenger hunt to research facts on different mathematicians. The student will then use the facts to conclude which they would like to be, a male or female mathematician. http://questgarden.com/46/81/9/070218111402/
Just for YOU!
TeacherTube - We know that pictures are worth a thousand words. What about videos? A million words? http://www.teachertube.com/.
Algebasics - Algebasics is an online mathematics instructional resource that takes students through the basics of algebra and pre-algebra.. http://www.algebasics.com/
Apple Learning InterchangeGreat site. Sign up. There are videos that demonstrate the classroom instruction. You can print the lesson. There are usually rubrics or handouts in PDF form that you can print out and use in your classroom today. There is so much information here that can be beneficial for you to grow as a professional and that will be useful for your students.
TrackStar: is your starting point for online lessons and activities
Rubistar - Great place to make your own rubrics - easy to customize for content areas, specific projects
Scaffolding: Process Guides for Students - guides to processes that allow students to become more efficient - includes brainstorming, building consensus, evaluating web page content, using primary source documents, viewing a photograph, and interview techniquesMind MappingThe following mind mapping/flow charting tools will help you get your thoughts in order http://getsmarter.org/index.cfmI s an animated, interactive testing and learning site. Compare math against students world wide.Check this out as well:
Number Cop - select Primes, click on Start then use the left and right arrows to move the police car to intercept only prime numbers
Math Baseball - [this link opens on a new page] Complete the Number Sentence. - All Operations - Numbers less than 10,000
Math Mayhem - A fast paced program where you can select addition problems. Most are two digit problems.(Warning: turn sound to mute - this activity gets very loud!)
More or Less Estimator - Similar to Estimator activity but states a quantity and asks the user to estimate whether the set of objects is more or less than the number given
Weigh the Wangdoodles - Your job is to find the weight of each Wangdoodle using the information provided by the scales. To be successful, you will have to make sure that the weight you assign to each Wangdoodle works on each scale. This activity is a fun but challenging introduction to multiple algebraic equations
Line Jumper - [this link opens on a new page] Click on the number line at the correct answer
Function Machine - Students investigate very simple functions by trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs.
