Talking SMARTBoards & Much More!

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!

In honor of the start of Red Sox Fever, I thought it appropriate to share a website that I have found to be very motivating and fun, when reviewing & reinforcing addition and multiplication skills… Batter’s Up Baseball.  This game is very user friendly, mimicking a baseball game– sound affects and all!  It also works great with the SMARTBoard- an added plus, in Notebook 10, is that  you can easily access the on-screen calculator for those students who require that assistance. Directions from the site…  

“After you select the pitchers challenge, a screen will come up with a math problem. Get the answer right and you move your men around the bases. Get it wrong and you get a strike. Three strikes equals an out.  If you get 3 outs the game is over.” 

So as the song says….take me out to the ball game!!!
