Language website (meant to be very cool, will play and rebookmark!)

Great idea for writing prompts, could be done online or on projector with kids doing own and sharing back to teacher/ta typing/submitting to website.

There are currently five different ways to search the Mathwire.com site for specific topics or activities. Quick links have been added to the upper left of the Home page and the main Mathwire search pages (A-Z List, Standards, Topics, Archives, What's New?) for your convenience in searching the site.

This week we are currently looking at shapes - both 2D shapes and 3D objects. As part of a "let's apply this to our life" moment, we decided to break the kids into small groups of two or three. We then put a digital camera in their hand and told them that they were to traverse the school and take 10 photos of shapes that they saw in our environment. Kids loved it.

Elementary math lessons sorted!

huge resource library of things to use with your projector (made originally for IWB classrooms) From cool apps like random grouper (puts your kids in new groups for discussion/work randomly and on the screen) Word magnets (create poetry/writing as group/class using fridge magnets, have a look!

"MathWire is a huge resource of ideas for integrating maths into your classroom. There a myriad of topics and clear instructions and photos to illustrate.

"This application takes the idea of those word magnets that are for refrigerators and makes them interactive in your classroom. When I showed this application to some colleagues they were excited about the potential it could provide for class learning and one on one lessons. I'll continue this post as steps in using Word Magnets."

Use this with your writers.

"Last Friday I utilised a website called OneWord as a writing prompt for my kids. The basic premise of the site is that a single word is given, and the students have 60 seconds to write something on that word."

nice idea

"Following on from my post the other day about StoryLine Online I thought I would compile a list of places where you can get audio for kids. All of the sites listed below give their materials for free."

Great for the home/class

"The premise is simple - five random images are shown on a screen. The idea is that the reader then becomes the writer. Taking the images shown, students then write, trying to link and weave a story through the five images."

Great with the projector!

"We all love Wordle and we have found heaps of uses for that particular web app. For the classroom they are great. They're eye catching, fun and a great visual aid. However, there is another application which is just like Wordle, but adds another dimension. "

useful when setting up your class.

Language games by grade.

"You can say that kids are sufficiently net savvy these days. With a bit of parental help, they can easily grasp the basics of search. The commonplace search engines cater to kids as well as to adults. But even with the moderation search engines use, some content may not be suitable for impressionable minds."

Lots of kid friendly search engines.

waste of time stuff.
