Collection of interactive math tools and lessons organized by math domain and grade level. These "virtual manipulatives" can be used on interactive whiteboards, ipads, or computers as part of classroom instruction.
Take a virtual field trip to art museums around the world. Get "up close and personal" with works of art. High-resolution images allow users to zoom in to see individual brush strokes. Rich information is included. An education section includes lesson plans and ideas for how to use the site in the classroom.
Welcome to Museum Box, This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life; the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier; or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others. More...
Infuse learning, like Socrative, is a web-based learner response solution that can work on any internet-connected device. With this solution, learner response is simple. This is especially appropriate for the BYOD classroom. This system allows the creation of "whiteboard" items where students draw their responses.
"If you teach math or science, you will likely find yourself asking your students to take out their rulers, compasses, protractors, thermometers, altimeters, and other measuring devices. Being able to see with a ruler and a protractor how a triangle with two equal sides really does have two equal angles can be powerful.
Glenda Stewart-Smith of Surrey School District #36 in Canada put together this collection of iPhone and iPad apps that offer all of these measuring abilities and more."
From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, a suite of "Core Math Tools," digital tools that can be used by students to model math problems for algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, and statistics and probability. These tools can be downloaded and run on any computer, but will not work on mobile devices.
