"Need a pentagonal pyramid that's six inches tall? Or a number line that goes from ‑18 to 32 by 5's? Or a set of pattern blocks where all shapes have one-inch sides? You can create all those things and more with the Dynamic Paper tool. Place the images you want, then export it as a PDF activity sheet for your students or as a JPEG image for use in other applications or on the web."

Ok, so you've probably seen some of these, but I needed a snazzy title. I recently compiled two lists of sites from Richard Byrne's Blog - the site is an amazing resource, and I'm pretty certain that Richard doesn't sleep. These aren't in order of greatness - they all have their own specific applications for education. A few of these appear on my Sites for Kids (and Teachers) page. Enjoy!

Drag and drop the number cards to make 'sum' sense. When you think the cardsd are in the correct places press the 'Next' button for another question. You can set the # of questions to get complete in a certain time. Ex: Try to answer 9 questions in 2 minutes. Numbers are up to you to decide. Very fun and cool for the interactive whiteboard.
