Nice set of applets that let students explore fraction understanding from multiple perspectives and models. I love that they use a variety of models for fractional development, including bars (multiple versions), sets, and linear. From the site:  "Why Fractions? Fractions are one of the earliest stumbling blocks for students in math. Our goal is building conceptual understanding in fractions as a basis for comprehension in all later topics."

The main objective of the Intergeo Project is to make digital content for mathematics teaching in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. Intergeo will... * offer content in a searchable and metadata-tagged portal. * enable users to use their software of choice by specifying a common file format based on open standards. * test available material in the classroom. All stakeholders, software teams, resource authors, teachers and learners will be involved, in order to promote quality enhancement cycles.

The University of Kansas has a wonderful math website designed for middle school students called Matrix Learning. In their words, Matrix Learning "provides resources to improve middle school reading and mathematics achievement through the development of interactive educational games." There are several interactive games/activities that are not only educational and engaging, but fun! There also are videos and mulitplayer games. Many of the activities would present well on the SB and some such as Definition Training- similar to hang man- would work well on the SB. I also would encourage you to check out the videos from the University of New Mexico that are on bottom left of the page. So if you are a middle school math teacher I would highly recommend that you take time to scope out this very worthwhile site. ENJOY!

The Multiplication Tool supports the teaching and learning of multi-digit multiplication, a critical elementary math skill that many students have difficulty mastering, but which is essential to success in middle and high school mathematics and beyond.

The goal of the Multiplication Tool is to help learners significantly improve their ability to multiply. To teach multiplication, this tool models three common solving methods, including Standard, Partial Products and Lattice. Students, or teachers, can choose the method they find most intuitive, or use the method they find most challenging.

Online binder of activities created by Kelly Hines for her students. She uses this site (livebinders.com) to organize her online learning for her students. This is just a good example of what an online binder might look like.
