"Thinking Blocks is a suite of learning tools designed to help students solve math word problems accurately and efficiently. Using brightly colored blocks, students model mathematical relationships and identify known and unknown quantities. The model provides students with a powerful image that organizes information and simplifies the problem solving process. By modeling increasingly complex word problems, students develop strong reasoning skills which will facilitate the transition from arithmetic to algebra."

"Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. It lives right where you do your work-in the web browser itself. "

Mathematics Enhanced Scope and Sequence (ESS) Sample Lesson Plans help teachers align instruction with the 2009 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge and skills found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. The lesson plans are accessible using a keyword search, or by selecting specific SOL objectives organized by grade level and reporting category.

Add annotations - via sticky comments, highlights, drawings etc, to these klips. Get a unique Webklipper URL for each of your klip. Share it with a small group of friends or with all your followers on Twitter - you'll be in complete charge of privacy settings for all your klips. Find your klips easily whenever you need them - search by klip content, annotations, url etc. "

This Seattle-based organization is so dedicated to helping students achieve in math that they've created a free web program for students, teachers and parents. We learned about it from Martha Leslie who says, "It is just for math facts, and it allows you to set it up so that the next student's name comes up automatically so the kids can go get the next learner. Plus, it allows the student to look and see if the next student is absent or busy, click a button to get the next student. I hope that made some sense. Anyway, I've used it now for two months, and it works really well for the independent math facts."

a third grade teacher is loving this math site!
