The Classroom Teacher/Integrated lesson idea area has been designed to meet the needs of classroom teachers that desire to use physical activity to teach academic content. The content can be taught in the classroom or outside in an outdoor play area. Although this section is written for classroom teachers it is also appropriate for physical education teachers who wish to teach integrated content as well.

This website provides 4 important components in order to have a successful/active physical education classroom. It consists of instructional materials, training, equipment, and follow-up support.

This offers a lot of options for health and physical education on this site. It even had a lesson on dental care.

I picked this site because I remember using it in elementary school and middle school, and remember how much it helped me with math. This site has many different math games for students to use. This site also has a teacher page as well as a parent's page. I can use this in my future class because it is a different way to learn math. Students can play games that can help them add or subtract, if they are having problems with it. I would also use this site since it has different ways to motivate students when it comes to math.

I have mentioned this site before and I will mention it again. I think Cool Math is an awesome resource. It has typical math games you'd expect, such as simple addition and subtraction activities. However, it also has games that incorporate other skills as well. Some of these games really, really play on your critical thinking skills. Students can learn business strategies, complex math strategies, understand dimensions and time, and even math terms. Even as a person that totally hates math, I appreciate this website very much. I remember loving it when I was in K-12.

Funbrain is another site similar to Cool Math. It has a wide array of games that students can play. These games are in arcade style for the most part, which I think students probably really like. Another cool part of this website is that there is a "For Teachers" section. It has tools that make it easy for teachers to find a game that relates to what they're teaching. It also helps you find activities based on different standards and grade levels. Funbrain also provides flashcards that they allow you to print for free so you can use them in your class.

It has links about fitness outside of school. It even has information about using technology in physical education. This site seems to have everything PE/Health teachers would be looking for.

Math website for all levels

This website has a list and practice work for every possible math skill for each specific grade. This isn't set up like a video game, more as a worksheet or a test. I would use this for possible homework or to for my higher students to work on.

I liked this website because it has reading games and activities, but one link that really jumped out at me is there is a specific link titled guy reads. I know reading is for both boys and girls but finding books to peak interests of my boy students may prove more challenging and I like this resources ideas.

Here's where you'll find games and activities to help you explore your health and the human body. Again another great tool to reinforce what is being taught in class but in a game form. Again If the students are embarrassed they can get it answered without raising their hands.

PE Central is a web site that provides information about developmentatally appropriate physical education practices and programs. I have used this site for at least 80% of all my lesson plans and warm up activities. This site is fantastic because it breaks it down per grade and the skill and or unit.

A great thing about this website is that you don't have to sign up and it is completely free. Not only does this site offer lesson plans, but it offers a multitude of other helpful tools as well. There are free printable worksheets and activity sheets, message boards, entire units, and project ideas. Daily writing prompts are a big part of this website, which I think is great because it gets students thinking and writing. It has other random tools for teachers to utilize and create their own, such as word scrambles, coloring pages, calendars, tests, crosswords, mazes, and more.

This site provides many different subject areas and options for lesson plans. The site says they have over four thousand to choose from so I feel this site would be helpful. This site would be most useful when looking for ideas to go along with a lesson plan that I already created or to get ideas of subjects to make a lesson plan.

This also has free lesson plans for all grades, and all subjects. You could create a lesson plan too! The teacher could also get the magazine for this website. Again, I would use this for a resource and ideas.

The web's largest collection of free lesson plans, submitted by teachers. Download free lessons, thematic units, activities, learning games, printables, classroom projects, and more!
