What a great new creative way to bring interest to the classroom. This is an EASY way to create cartoons - ones to teach, others for kids to reflect and comment. Throw one up on your board and watch what happens.

I just checked and you have to be a member of NCTM to access these. I'll try to get these another way.

Article on ratios and proportions. This is in PDF format so i am checking to see if you can access this through Diigo. I'll remove if you cannot.

Great place for all kinds of links for help in many areas of math

In this activity, students divide fractions using area models. They can adjust the numerators and denominators of the divisor and dividend and see how the area model and calculation change. Full access to ExploreLearning is available through an annual subscription, but you can apply for a month's free access in order to test out the applets.

This lesson is based on the idea that middle school students can better understand the procedure for dividing fractions if they analyze division through a sequence of problems. Students start with division of whole numbers, followed by division of a whole number by a unit fraction, division of a whole number by a non-unit fraction, and finally division of a fraction by a fraction. Activity sheets and guiding questions are included.

Multiply Fractions with number lines or circles.

The district is going to focus on assessment next year. Most of us love to be ahead of the game at least in our thinking. Perhaps this will be a good site to start posting our ideas and/or articles we find that will help us decide what kinds of assessment will best benefit our students while still being practical.

These are great! Thanks

Great interactive site for modeling multiplication and Division of fractions.
