Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Misleading Statistics- Excel Activity
Small group activity allows students to analyze data to discover how graphs may be misleading. Students use self discovery methods and collaboration to determine misleading representation among graphs and decide on the best representation of the data.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students engage with interactive cartoon character to learn coordinate grid skills. Good for struggling readers.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Game where students shoot down the equivalent decimal to match the given fraction. Game where students shoot down the equivalent decimal to match the given fraction. Students are highly engaged in this interactive computer game. Wonderful for the unfocused/active student!
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students solve longer addition/subtraction equations and correct answers result in hitting teachers with dodgeballs (virtually, of course!) Highly engaging game as correct answers allow students to aim for their teachers in a simulated dodgeball experience. Perfect game for unfocused students- mixes PE and math!
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Allows students to explore shapes and sort by various attributes. Followed by a quiz. Students demonstrate their knowledge of shapes and their properties.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students enter decimals are given the fraction equivalent. Students are able to check their conversions using this tool- can also assist students who struggle with conversions.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students practice division of decimals skills. Students are able to use their division of decimals knowledge to get closer to a touchdown.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students practice estimating counting, length, and area. Can adjust skill level for how exact answers need to be. Students demonstrate knowledge of estimating units of measurements and whole numbers. Great for the visual learner.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - To be used in alignment with lesson from MCPS curriculum guide, this site will assist students in creating graphs of their data. Students are able to enter data and part of a graph to create a variety of data displays. Not word heavy.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - This video walks students through the process of creating frequency tables and histograms using current Red Sox stats
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Mean, Median, and Mode- Plop it!
Interactive online tool that allows students to add data points and see how the mean, median, and mode are impacted. Students can enter data points and see how mean, median, and mode are affected.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Mean, Median, and Mode- The MMMR Rap
Rap to help students remember mean, median, mode, and range. Students are engaged through music/beat and memorization of vocabulary. Can help motivate/engage the unfocused student.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Appropriate as enrichment as it also incorporates higher order/pre-algebra skills. Students sink the computer's battleships by solving problems/equations/expressions using the Distributive Property. Great for unfocused learners as the game is highly engaging.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Must be set on 'hard' level of difficulty to deal with powers/exponents. Students determine the value of bases and exponents in order to form tic tac toe.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Step by step guide to solving expressions with practice problems (timed or untimed). Provides students with a resource and sample problems of how to solve one variable expressions, as well as opportunity for individual practice.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Select an operation and a maximum value and see how many times you can solve for 'x' in one minute. Allows students to practice simple problem solving strategies for variables.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Adjustable levels of difficulty, students solve order of operations problems to help the dinosaur build a stone pyramid. Students use their knowledge of order of operations to build a pyramid. Allows for differentiation by adding steps of the PEMDAS process.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Math teacher blog with a realistic approach to teaching word problems to students. Includes wonderful links. Teacher resource.
