I LOVE teaching math at BSIS

Great games--some are more upper level, but some basic ones can apply to younger students, especially those who need enrichment!

Comfort is comfortable, but it is not the goal.

The title alone grabbed me. The first two chapters are on line which will let you know if the book is worth $20+

We all need a few helpful hints at this "test stress" time of year!

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.

An overview of authentic assessments.

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.

NCTM articles say that we need a username and password to view them.

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.

These are great! Thanks

Great interactive site for modeling multiplication and Division of fractions.
