Use this to integrate working mathematically into your program.

Over the weekend I received an email from a reader asking me if I had a list of YouTube channels not named Khan Academy that offer mathematics lessons. I didn't have a list, but I said I would create one. Therefore, here is my short list of YouTube channels not named Khan Academy that offer mathematics lessons.

The Buck Institute for Education (BIE) received a generous grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to help promote and provide deeper learning opportunities for teachers and students. Recognizing that 11,000 teachers will participate in BIE's 3-day PBL 101 workshop in 2012, the Hewlett Foundation helped BIE expand its professional development resources and expertise online. Now BIE can work with every school and every teacher through PBL University (PBLU). This summer, PBLU will pilot several Common Core aligned Math & English/Language Arts projects with complementary 2-week online classes. Teachers can receive PBL Teacher Certification from BIE, if they choose to complete all the necessary classes and implement the project with their students.

This could be fun for the more advanced maths students looking to play with a bit of Algebra. 

Really great examples for maths

Another useful post by one of my favourite Edubloggers. This guy just keeps on keeping on! This post is about google forms and how they can be used in the classroom. I used Google forms to create the staff survey on the 1:1 program. Imagine the students using this for the end of the week spelling test or maths diagnostics or any of these data collecting excersises completed using google forms and then instantly sent to a spread sheet.

This is great site that coverts fractions to decimals its a game

There are some really good activities which can be used on a whiteboard. Worksheets and activities etc

Great website with lesson ideas and lots of resources that could be used on the IWB.

A must site for all 2-6 numeracy

This site provides excellent practise opportunities in many areas but one of the best things is the Place Value stuff which uses pictures of MAB that kids can relate to.

This is an amazing site full of great student interactive activities coering all areas of the curriculum. 

Huge variety of resources here

Useful for introduction of money.

Another article about this 13 year old whiz kid. Uses his knowledge of the fibonacci sequence to create a kick arse solar cell tree and then patents it!

Check this kid out! I wonder if he has a blog? Either way, this is a great piece by a 13 year old on fibonacci stuff.
