Discovering Pi with Google Sheets

During the course of this school year, my Instructional Tech Team and I have been working on developing a site where teachers can download Google Walks, much like those on Jerome's Google Lit Trips site (BRILLIANT!!) - only geared towards Math and Science. Our site is in it's infancy, and there are still some step by step guides to be uploaded tomorrow, but we'd love to have you check out the resources we've posted and tell us what you think: http://GoogleEarthWalks.com Hopefully we're not replicating something that you've seen elsewhere - (we've looked!) but if we are - please let us know! If you see any changes that need to be made, or have ideas, be sure to share those as well. We'd love to hear from you! Teachers and students in our district are eating these Google Earth Walks up - we've been really overwhelmed by the response. We plan to continue to add resources to the site in order to address all Math and Science objectives but that will take some time to flesh out. In time we hope to build a resource that benefits us all! We're excited to invite students to begin creating walks, as we feel this will engage them in a great deal of problem solving and higher level thinking. We would also love to invite you to submit resources as well!

Study: Student Math Scores Jump 20 Percent with HMH Algebra Curriculum for Apple® iPad

JUMP Math is a philosophy and a set of materials and methods that aim to improve the teaching of mathematics and to help students enjoy and meet their potential in the subject. The JUMP Math program is based on the belief that all children in the regular school system, even those diagnosed as having serious learning disabilities or who are failing at math, can excel at math. Mathematics, rather than being the most difficult subject, is a subject in which children can most easily succeed - even at a young age - and can thereby develop the confidence and cognitive abilities they need to do well in other subjects.

The 100's Board app is exactly that! A digital 100's board that can show and hide all of the numbers to 100. Numbers can be pressed to change from black to red. All numbers can be hidden or shown at the same time, or in rows / columns of ten. Ten draggable counters are also included for even more fun and games!
