In the Classroom
Introduce PhET simulations during a math station rotation or as a flipped learning module. For a flipped lesson, assign students a specific simulation, such as Area Model Multiplication, to explore at home, allowing them to build conceptual familiarity before entering the classroom. During in-class station rotations, set up a "Discovery Lab" where students use the simulations to test hypotheses and solve challenges. Once they master a concept, have them use Awesome Screenshot, reviewed here to record a short video explaining their mathematical reasoning as they manipulate the tools. These recordings serve as a powerful formative assessment, showing exactly how a student arrived at an answer. To further extend the activity, have students post their videos or screenshots to a shared Padlet, reviewed here as a gallery walk. Asking students to share their thinking with others allows peers to see different strategies for solving the same problem and develop their own methods.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

This video demonstrates three engaging ways to review math concepts so that practice feels more like a game than a worksheet. The first activity, Revision Jenga, has students pull colored blocks that match question cards and solve the problems together, encouraging teamwork and explanation of strategies. The second activity, Plickers, uses printed response cards that students hold up to answer multiple-choice questions while the teacher scans the room to quickly check understanding. The third activity, Whodunit, turns review into a mystery game where students solve problems to earn clues that help them determine the suspect, weapon, and location. These strategies can be used with many grade levels and topics, promote discussion and movement, and help students remember what they have learned in a fun and interactive way. If your district blocks YouTube, the video may not be accessible at school.

Remember when presentations meant poster board, markers, and hoping the glue stick held everything together until class? While there's still a place for hands-on displays, digital presentation tools have opened exciting new possibilities for how students can share their learning--and the best part is that all the powerful tools in this collection are completely free. These tools -- including popular platforms like Google Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva Presentations, and Nearpod -- typically follow a linear, slide-by-slide format that guides viewers through ideas in a structured sequence. Built with the audience in mind, they bring together text, images, and video into polished, shareable displays perfect for student project presentations, book reports, research presentations, and teacher-led lessons. By giving students a choice in how they present their "aha!" moments, we not only increase engagement but also help them develop the modern communication skills they'll need for a digital-first future. Let's empower our learners to move beyond the bullet point and start telling stories that truly resonate!

Get ready to help students see the story behind the numbers! The Grades 6-8 Statistics & Probability progression outlines a thoughtful, research-based sequence that builds students' skills in data analysis and interpretation. In Grade 6, learners begin by identifying statistical questions, summarizing data sets using measures of center and variability, and visualizing distributions through dot plots, histograms, and box plots. In Grade 7, the focus expands to probability experiments, relative frequency, and understanding bias in data collection. By Grade 8, students are analyzing relationships between variables using scatter plots, lines of best fit, and two-way tables. This structured progression helps students move from basic data literacy to deeper statistical reasoning, preparing them for real-world decision-making and high school-level data analysis.

Have students brainstorm and write statistical questions (e.g., "How many hours do students in our class sleep?"), and then collect and organize class data to explore how variability makes a question truly statistical. Provide students with examples of misleading graphs (e.g., manipulated axes or cherry-picked data). They can analyze the issues and then redesign them to be clear, fair, and statistically accurate. Using homemade spinners, students can predict outcomes, run trials, and compare theoretical vs. experimental probability. They reflect on how more trials affect the accuracy of their predictions.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Use the tools in this collection to empower students to become "confident video producers" by having them create cinematic book trailers or science documentaries using free browser-based editors to demonstrate their mastery of a topic. By utilizing stock footage libraries and digital narrative tools, your students can transform standard reports into polished "how-to" tutorials or historical reenactments that sharpen both subject knowledge and essential digital communication skills.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
