Secondary students will appreciate this user-friendly bibliography helper. They still have to do the work of collecting all of the necessary information, but after entering it into the site, a citation with correct MLA format and punctuation is created for them. The citations can then be copied and pasted into a word processing document.

tag(s): citations (32)

In the Classroom

Have a student demonstrate how to use this tool on a projector or interactive whiteboard. Share this link on your class web page for easy use any time students have a research project. Model ethical use of resources by using it yourself to cite sources on handouts, etc.

This is a tradition tangram activity with a technological twist. Read the introductory instructions carefully then turn your students loose to recreate a displayed image using seven geometric shapes. This is an excellent activity for improving visual-spatial skills.

tag(s): geometric shapes (152), logic (177), problem solving (287), tangrams (10)

In the Classroom

Tangrams are perfect for practicing shapes, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills. Share this activity on student computers for use as a math center, or share a link with parents for students to play at home. Include this tangram activity and others within a blended learning lesson created using Curipod, reviewed here. Include videos, interactives such as this game, quizzes, and other learning activities in one shareable link.

This site is for the curious student who wants to investigate how some of America's most enduring inventions from the 19th and 20th centuries came to be. Browse through pencil-and-ink industrial drawings of shopping carts, Crayola crayons, T-shirts, and more. A useful resource for gaining insight into American culture and the creative process.

tag(s): 20th century (171), creativity (93), drawing (57), inventors and inventions (89)

In the Classroom

Use the images on this site to compliment a lecture on the inventions of the 20th century. While the test is interesting, it might be a little much for a class for of lower-level readers. Include the images as a way to capture the simplicity of original designs, and compare the initial plans of these inventions to the mega-products they are today. The images are interesting, particularly the Crayola tests, and will capture kids attention as they are inventions that have impacted their own lives in a big way.

Connect letters, numbers, and a little visual fun in this simple Funbrain sequencing game. Students help "Salvabear Dali" complete pictures by clicking dots in the correct order. The original game offers six difficulty choices, including counting by ones, counting by fives, counting backward, using every letter of the alphabet, working with missing letters, and putting the alphabet in reverse. The specific legacy URL provided appears to point to the challenging alphabet-in-reverse activity, although it now redirects to the general Connect the Dots page. Funbrain currently places Connect the Dots in its K-2 counting collection, making the game most appropriate for early elementary practice with sequence and order.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): alphabet (46), alphabetical order (9), counting (58), sequencing (22)

In the Classroom

Have students practice the number levels, then build their own paper connect-the-dots picture using counting by ones or fives for a partner to solve. Have students play the alphabet levels independently, then recite or write the alphabet forward and backward to reinforce letter order.

From moving mathematical sculptures, to quick and simple radios, this searchable site addresses quite a collection of scientific concepts through easy-to-build science projects. Illustrated project instructions are highly detailed, and most require only common household items. A few use more specialized, but relatively inexpensive and easy-to-find materials. Topics include magnetism, light and optics, biology, mathematics, aerodynamics, and more.

How many different ways can students make exactly one dollar using U.S. coins? This straightforward Teachnet activity challenges students to find all 293 possible coin combinations and provides the complete numbered list for teachers to use when checking students' work. The task offers ready-to-go practice with coin values, counting money, addition, combinations, and systematic problem solving. Because finding every combination can take considerable time, teachers can also adapt the challenge by assigning portions of the list or asking students to develop an organized strategy for finding combinations
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): addition (138), counting (58), currency (12), money (114), patterns (78), problem solving (287)

In the Classroom

Have students work individually to find as many one-dollar combinations as possible, then compare their results with the provided answer list and identify any combinations they missed. Have small groups develop a systematic strategy for finding every combination, then present and defend why their method should produce a complete list.

This fabulous collection of lesson plans, activities, and web links from NCTM is a professional treasury for math teachers. The two menu selections at the top, Lessons and Interactives, are actually drop down menus to find lessons by grade levels, Brain Teasers, Mobile Apps, a Web Sketchpad, and more. The interactives are a challenging practice for concepts ranging from basic fractions and graphing to congruence theorems. Narrow your search with keywords. Each activity includes a description and grade level recommendation. Highlighted activities and Lessons on the home page change often. Many lesson plans also include technology links, but others are low-tech or no-tech. Illuminations is created by NCTM.

tag(s): data (212), measurement (124), numbers (117), operations (70), probability (133)

In the Classroom

Keep this one in your professional favorites to find supporting technology for any math concept. As you find practice or extension ideas for student use or at home reinforcement, share specific links on your class web page or classroom computer center for students to access independently or as you assign them for needed practice. The full site is overwhelming for most parents, so share the specific areas that fit your curriculum.

This interactive chart illustrates the discovery of Greek mathematician Eratosthenes, who recognized that to find all prime numbers between two and some larger number, it is necessary to remove ALL multiples of each number between them. To watch a visual illustration of this concept, click on each consecutive number, starting with two, and watch as multiples are eliminated. Eventually, all prime numbers between 2 and 400 will be highlighted in red. Sounds complicated, but this is a fascinating site to project in the classroom as prime numbers are introduced and discussed.

Have students play several rounds independently, then record three problems from the game and explain the subtraction or counting-up strategy they used to find each amount of change. Assign students to compare two strategies for making change, such as subtracting the cost from the amount paid and counting up from the cost, then collect their explanations in a Google Forms exit ticket, reviewed here. Ask pairs to post one challenging purchase-and-change problem on Padlet, reviewed here, then have classmates solve and respond to several problems before discussing efficient strategies as a whole class.

Real life applications of math are explored through a collection of activities that engage student in learning about architecture. Skills involving estimation, measurement, proportion, and ratios combine as students draft a "to-scale" floor plan of their classroom. The site provides sample plans, instructions on using computer software to complete the activity, and a collection of links to other Web resources on architecture and mathematics. Related activities involve finding geometric shapes in buildings, designing a bedroom, and using a virtual 3-D model of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water home to estimate surface area and volume. Visit the Teacher Notes for downloadable lesson plans, ideas, and reviews of the site. Links to standards are included.
