Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ K-5 Math aligned to the Common Core Standards empowers students to master key math concepts

this website was found through the US. Department of Education. It gives parent helpful practical examples of how they can use everyday task such as shopping at the grocery store to get kids motivated and practicing their math skills. These type of hands on practical approaches are always great to do with young kids because it's a way to capitalize on their free time and to have them practice what they are learning in school without feeling like they are in a classroom.

This is good information, I am sending this to my eye doctors office one lady needs help for her daughter

Great resource for learning more about research studies and findings. The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance. Can learn about research studies in progress or look at specific categories such as ELL, teacher quality, Math, etc... This bookmark links to "Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Educational Technology Interventions"

This is an awesome website with short (and free!) videos to help teach all types of math from 1st - college and some higher level sciences. It's great for those days when the kids don't want to listen to your voice anymore.

Great video library for tutoring and support on a wide variety of subjects from math to science to art history.

Really liked this site,thanks for posting it

A list of great math apps for your iPad. Good for a variety of ages!

This is a great site with many kid friendly games. Most of the games have some correlation to math related topics. I find it best to preselect which games the students should play so as to enhance the lessons to be learned or alredy learned.

Great website for all ages and grades. This website offers free educational games in all subject areas. In addition, this website offers brain teasers, organized by grade.

A new educational software program being implemented this year in our schools' extended day program is Kids College. This program is through a company named Learning Through Sports. LTD helps students with literacy, math and science. It is an adaptive program that works at each students level. Teachers do not always have the time to differentiate instruction. This program adapts to the students level and works on the gaps in their knowledge. The way the program works is that it motivates the students using their competitive nature. Student chose a team and the sport they want to play. The level they are working on is independent of their contribution to the success of the team. The team succeeds as long as the student succeeds. After answering questions they move through the levels by participating in the sport of their choice. The sports they students can play are: basketball, snowboard, golf, foosball, hockey, rugby or baseball. The video games have wonderful graphics which are attractive to the players. The program is aligned with the state standards and the common core standards. It provides reports of students success for teachers, students and parents.

The STEM Network's purpose is to connect science, technology, engineering and math educators to discuss, explore and share best practices and research in STEM teaching and student learning through the use of technology.

Lisa, This site is loaded with good resources and ideas. I love it. Thanks for sharing :) Hasnaa

Great site with resources for teacher with lesson plans, helpful websites, and activities and worksheets. Also has pages for kids and teenagers with links to different subjects and sites pertaining to those subjects.

Provides a safe place for students to learn that is divided based on age group. It provides art, music, math, science lessons, and more. It also has an area for teachers to find lesson plans and for parents to learn how to help their children learn.

Help feed the hungry while improving vocabulary or math skills. Rice donated through UN World Food Programme. Links to other ways to donate also.

cool website to have students learn words and build their vocabulary. I can see language art or reading teachers having their student use this website as additional practice.

This website has over 100 interactive games for students to play on topics such as animals, geography, science, math, and language arts.

Tons of free educational games for all different elementary levels, including pre-k. Covers all subject areas. Has great graphics
