Math Sites

Johnnie's Math Page - Links to interactive math tools and activities.
Splat Square is a 100 grid that starts out blank. There are different "splat" colors on the right side of the screen. Choose a color and then click on the square, the number is revealed with a splatter of colored paint (Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s etc)

Math Doodles is a set of interactive math games that encourage students to think/interact with math. Students playi games like Connect the Sums, Number Jump, Polyomino Shift, Double Traits, Sums Stacker, Hydro Maze, Time Shuffle, and Angel Fish (coming soon).


Make 5 is a fun interactive tic-tac-toe type game (it actually reminds me of Connect 4). This game is a great way for students to practice math facts and to recognize relationships between numbers. Students are given a target number, they choose an equation on the grid that equals the target number. The goal of the game is to get 5 squares on the grid in a row in the least number of tries. The game has several play options; students can play the game with one or two players, set up the game to get 5 or 3 in a row, and can play to practice addition, subtraction, or multiplication.

Can't Wait....

I am going back to the classroom to teach a unit on ELECTRICTY. I am so excited...will post my electricity wiki for a resource at a later date.
The Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits is a fun, interactive website where individuals or groups of students can learn about circuits. There are 5 sections to the Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits. Section 1 teaches students about what makes circuits work, section 2 teaches about conductors and insulators, section 3 teaches about switches, section 4 teaches about changing circuits, and section 5 teaches about circuit diagrams. This site is a fun way to teach students about circuits, conductors, insulators, switches, and diagrams. Students could work on this website individually, in small groups as a center activity during an electric circuits unit, or as a whole class using an interactive whiteboard.

Ekoloko



Ekoloko is a virtual world for kids. In Ekoloko students discover the world, both real and virtual, through fun games and quests. As they play in Ekoloko, students learn and build values, character qualities, knowledge and skills that help them become more responsible and involved individuals. Students learn to respect each other and the environment in the safe online community. This safe virtual world is a great place for students to practice their netiquette in a controlled environment. This is a great way for students to learn how to be good online (and offline) citizens. Along the way, students can also practice being good stewards of the environment. Great site to introduce to students in preparation for Earth Day.
