Quick Summary: A digital library containing Java applets and activities for K-12 mathematics Elongated Explanation: The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) is an NSF supported project that began in 1999 to develop a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (K-12 emphasis). This site should be used frequently with students to explore and expand on many different levels and mathematical concepts. Learning and understanding mathematics, at every level, requires student engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Too much of current instruction fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of manipulatives, physical objects that help students visualize relationships and applications. We can now use computers to create virtual learning environments to address the same goals with sites like this one. APA Citation: Cannon, L., Dorward J., Heal R., & Edwards L. (2007, July 28).

Thousands of downloadable activities that can be used with SmartBoards and Mobi boards.

Several Smartboard activities. Ability to sort by content.

Growing pattern activities for algebraic thinking

Students must open and close lockers by following a pattern in order to determine how many will be open/closed at the end of the activity. Includes a virtual set of 100 lockers for trial-and-error.

Grade level and content strand activities

Based on TEKS, you can set a prescription for students/classes based on their Quantile scores.

Time is short and math instruction needs to be focused. This easy tool helps educators locate resources that can help with instruction and identify those skills that are most relevant to the topic of the daily instruction. This tool has been aligned with state mathematics curriculum standards to make it directly applicable to use in the classroom.
