This is a great site for math games. A huge variety and a search program that is quick and easy. I found my percents games that were not on other sites from here.

This site was created by the National Center for Education Statistics. While it is aimed towards children, teachers can use this website to spark ideas when teaching probability and graphing in mathematics. By clicking on 'Graph' on the top toolbar, students can enter data and decide to create pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and more. The site provides math teasers, quizzes, and even allows children to explore probability through a game using dice.The dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls affects an outcome. This would be a great site to have students access sometime throughout the year when focusing on graphing and probability!

This site provides free online games. There are a variety of topics to choose from, but the math games would be most relevant for ED 304.

Great resouce for children's literature applicable to math lessons. You can search by grade or topic. The site also has links to some lesson plans and online activities which go with some of the books.

Math Playground is another interactive computer activity site. This is a great site for students to go onto and use a protractor on the computer or even play a game with real life examples. I thought that this would be a great website to use for our students if they have free time or even as a center for students in the classroom.

This site contains a variety of links and resources for children to access to further their knowledge on a particular math skill. I came across this site when looking for picture graph resources for my lesson plans and was impressed by the links provided on this page. The most impressive link is 'Picture Graphs' which would bring students to a web quest type picture graph lesson that has them learning about picture graphs by creating some themselves and participating in the lesson. If you don't understand quite what I mean, check it out! Teachers could use this for students who need a little practice or even as a review game when visiting the computer lab. The links included are great resources for math teachers.

This website provides a multitude of resources for math teachers of various grade levels. The site offers printable worksheets, daily lesson plans, math warm ups, classroom management techniques for math, and so much more. The only downside to this website is the yearly fee that is required of $49.95. While this may be frustrating, you still have the ability to click around and see thumbnail versions of some of the offerings on the site. It may be just the thing to spark an idea and encourage new ways to learn math! While it may be out of the question for some of us to pay such a fee right now, you never know if your school would have access to such a website in the future!

Check this one out! As a beginning teacher this would be great. Locate your school from the list and add a list of all of the supplies you would love to have for your classroom, but can't afford to buy. The site then helps you communicate your wish list with parents and other donors who can purchase something from your list. The donor gets a tax deductible reciept and the company ships the items right to your school!

This site has all sorts of games that help students practice their multiplication facts. My daughter really got into Granny Prix. You can personalize your granny by changing her hair and wheel chair. Kalee gave her a rainbow mohawk and flames on her wheel chair. Then the grannies race. The faster you answer the facts, the faster your granny goes. We enjoyed it.

This site provides free elementary and preschool math activities. There are online math games, lessons, and printables as well. It is educational, interactive, and seems like a great resource.

Scholastic.com offers lesson plan ideas for all subjects areas and grade levels K-12. I found 516 math lesson plans that cover standards such as probability, addition and subtraction, geometry, etc. The math lesson plans featured are thorough and even include objectives and links to worksheets to be used along with them. I found one interesting lesson plan where students had to estimate and practice deciding how much water could be put into a glass jar. Activities such as these allows students to be active in their math education! This is a great site for teachers to find lesson plans!

The website also contains games, such as crosswords, to help familiarize students with key vocabulary.

This website is a great resource for brain teasers, questions of the day, or trivia related to mathematics. This can be a great resource for teachers to find a "hook" to begin their math lessons. This site also contains many outside links to additional resources and games to play with students. Although these links seem to focus mainly on mathematical concepts, many also relate to a variety of other subject areas and make learning fun.

This is a site that has different posts and online discussions with other teachers around the world. As a future teacher this would be very helpful to see what works and what does not always work for some teachers. It provides different ideas for all teachers and is a great resource.

Has hyperlinks to hundreds of websites for teachers.
