Sharing a site that offers both an analog and digital clock to support the teaching/review of telling time when using the SMART Board. Click on the purple start button at the bottom of the page and the analog clock will appear. Click on the time interval buttons at the bottom of the page for a demonstration of how to tell time. Clicking on the “now” button will have the clock show the present time, with a second hand. Clicking on the purple circle with the double arrows will change the clock to a digital clock. ENJOY!

Math Interactives is a “multimedia resource that includes interactive math activities, print activities, learning strategies, and videos that illustrate how math is used in everyday life.” There are several lessons offered under the categories of Number, Patterns and Relations, Shape and Space and Statistics and Probabilities. Click on the category and then on the specific lesson to view. Some of the lessons would present well on the SMARTBoard while others would be best utilized as a review activity in a lab situation or for homework reinforcement. ENJOY!

Came across a fun fraction site called Fraction Monkey that works well on the SMART Board. You simply drag the monkey to hang it in the correct place on the number line. This would be great for fraction review. The main website at SUMS Math Playground also gives you the opportunity to try several different interactive math activities that are worth checking out. ENJOY!

Discovered this really cool site called Hitting the Target that is a great way to demonstrate and review angles by incorporating sports- very fun! In their words, “If you or your child are struggling with the idea of how angles are measured, whats the difference between right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles or how to guess the size of angles – Hitting the Target is for you!” The game presents very well on the SMART Board. ENJOY!

The International Monetary Fund has designed a great game to help students understand the concept of international trade. It’s called Trading Around the World. In their own words, “Play this game to experience the challenges and excitement of international trade. See if you can get the best price for the goods you sell and the biggest bargains for the goods you buy. Watch how the global economy is doing: the prices you’ll be able to get and the deals you can make depend on how healthy the global economy is.” This would be a great opportunity for students to have first hand experience in the world of economics and to use their negotiation skills. Here is a link to the Teacher’s Guide for this game. The first time you play you are given a game number so that when you return to the site you can pick up where you left off. ENJOY!

I wanted to share a great activity from Learnyour tables.co.uk that will help students practice and reinforce their multiplication tables. There are three options available for practice including 1. Drag and drop- drag equation to match the answer 2. Enter an Answer- provides an equation with keyboard to enter an answer and 3. Assessment- same as Enter an Answer however it gives you a score at the end. In addition you can practice either single or mixed tables. The Drag and drop option works very well on the SMARTBoard. ENJOY!
