Integrating Google Earth in mathematics
The goal of the Place Value Game is to create the largest possible number from the digits the computer gives you. Unfortunately, the computer will give you each digit one at a time and you won't know what the next number will be. You are not allowed to rearrange any of the digits you have already placed, so think carefully before you lock a number in place! Good luck!
interesting online...play with unit cubes
This is a collection of movie clips in which Mathematics appears. I'm collecting DVDs and VHS tapes of such movies. This is a working document to be extended over time.

Just talking about Math... What do you say?
Mathematics has a reading protocol all its own, and just as we learn to read literature, we should learn to read mathematics. Students need to learn how to read mathematics, in the same way they learn how to read a novel or a poem, listen to music, or view a painting.

You Do The Math: Explaining Basic Concepts Behind Math Problems Improves Children's Learning
New research from Vanderbilt University has found students benefit more from being taught the concepts behind math problems rather than the exact procedures to solve the problems. The findings offer teachers new insights on how best to shape math instruction to have the greatest impact on student learning.

Can we be less prescriptive in our classrooms – and more successful with our students?
"This model for learning mathematics may be quite different from what teachers experienced themselves in the past where classrooms were less interactive, filled with little activity and conversation. Teachers were generally in control, directing all aspects of what was to be learned; different points of view and approaches seldom brought to the surface new ideas and insights and a high degree of redundancy meant that everybody learned the exact same thing at the exact same time.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting all these links. I am a math teacher in Nevada and I am starting a classroom blog with my students this year. I think yours is awesome and hope that mine will evolve into one that is just as dynamic and useful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post and serves as a great resource for all math teachers. Thanks for posting! Please don't take this down. I hope to refer back to it in the future. :)
