From Glencoe, some IWB looking mathematics manipulatives including color counters, algebra tiles, protractors, ruler, etc. that can be manipulated either on the computer of on the IWB screen.

Nice little app for manipulating fraction pieces. Can easily be used with an electronic whiteboard. Allows students and teachers to manipulate, +/-, x/divide fractions and show relationships.

Projectile motion applet. Easy to manipulate and set inputs. 

Math videos to help explain skills/concepts. Tends to be very skill based, but offers multiple takes on the same skill so if a students doesn't get it from one person the next might be a better fit, short videos makes it plausible that a student might use, GREAT integration of vocabulary. Well worth incorporating into classroom practice to help students understand how to use formulas or manipulate equations. Also they are GREAT models if you want kids to create their own.

Allows quick manipulation of a 3-D brain model with explanation of the different parts. You can look up parts of the brain or functions of the brain. If nothing else, it's interesting for an overview of brain function

Four Ways to Differentiate Instruction: Differentiation can occur in the content, process, product or environment in the classroom. 1. Differentiating the Content/Topic 2. Differentiating the Process/Activities 3. Differentiating the Product 4. Diffferentiating By Manipulating The Environment or Through Accommodating Individual Learning Styles

Neat tool for teachers. Need a quickly designed number line or graph paper. From NCTM and Illuminations, easy to use but not super easy to manipulate. Good for basic graphics needs.

A collection of 279 Math Applets designed by International Education Software. Apps show individual concepts from multiple perspectives, usually conceptually from a diagram and graphically. Not very dynamic in that students wouldn't be able to manipulate multiple variables, but great to use with an interactive white board to show connections between representations and to confirm calculations/predictions.

Number lines are a great resource for any mathematics classroom and a MUST for instruction. Every opportunity for students to make sense of numbers should be taken rather than assumed and an intentional routine use of number lines makes better students. This is a nice resource for having interactions. It's not a great site, but it has potential for routine usage in the classroom.
