Once again we subscribe to Facts4Me as a research site for our students.  I have posted a a new assignment on our “Assignment Page“.  You can find this along the top bar of our blog or just click on the link in this post.  Students can either write the questions and answers, just the answers only, or print out the pdf document.  There are three assignments each time:

Group A is the easiest of the three. It will not require as much reading and maneuvering between site links.  Students will be asked to fill in the blank or choose from multiple choice selections.

Group B is average difficulty and will give students experience in searching sites and gathering information.

Group C will require more maneuvering among the site links. All of the research will be completed within a single Topic item.

This is an excellent way to teach and integrate technology into any core subject.

This is quickly becoming one of our favorite math sites, Math Nook. Students are offered a variety of games that are both free and fun. At the bottom of the page, there is a key that addresses math skills and advanced skills. These games can be used for remediation as well as enrichment. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Click on the pictures below for some video and activity links from Scholastic StudyJams. Mrs. Hunter posted these sites on her blog to share with her parents to help students with the concepts that are being studied in class:

PRACTICE PLACE VALUE

PRACTICE EXPANDED FORM

PRACTICE ORDERING NUMBERS

PRACTICE ADDITION WITH REGROUPING

PRACTICE SUBTRACTION WITH REGROUPING

Constitution Day is September 19th and by U.S. law every student is supposed to participate in a lesson about the U.S. Constitution. Below you will find the link to a site which involves students interactively in learning about the history of our country. A very special thank you to Richard Byrne and Larry Ferlazzo for bringing The Law of the Land to the attention of teachers everywhere.

When teaching multiplication, we start off by building arrays. This site builds virtual arrays to link concrete objects to abstract concepts.

Students enter a factor across the top and another factor on the side. Then click = and watch the visualization appear.  I hope that this helps you understand and learn your multiplication facts.

Can it be that summer is over already? I prefer to think of it as the beginning rather than the end. The beginning of a brand new school year that will bring new rewards and new challenges. Well, I say, bring them on! There is no place I would rather be than in a learning environment with fresh, young minds. This year, let’s learn something together.

This site will prove useful for any student who needs to practice those basic math facts. Just click on the picture above and you will be linked to a site where you can choose your either an online practice activity or a printable worksheet.  Then choose the operation that you want to practice.  Just a few minutes each day will help to improve your scores and performance in class.
