Interactive Math Websites

Picture1.jpg

In this class I learned about the importance of incorporating computers into class lessons.  There are a variety of websites that have creative manipulatives for students to use.  These should be used a supplements to the lessons or as reviews.  These sites should rarely be used as the actual lesson.  I also learned that teachers need to look at what their students are doing online to make sure they stay on task.  Computers can be beneficial in the classroom if used correctly.  Please click the links below to travel to sites full of creative mathematical activities.

 

 

Algorithms and Base-Ten Blocks

This website uses base-ten blocks to show and teach subtraction, addition, division, multiplication, and algebra.  These can also become great worksheets.
