 * MATHEMATICS RESOURCES **

__** || Information, methods, and strategies can be found on this site. Children's literature with mathematical themes are compiled here, also. || A site found at the United States Department of Education, this site presents a variety of methods, strategies, and resources for teaching mathematics. Visit and watch the video clips in the "Inside Classrooms" section. Under each of the subheadings - "Math and Science" for example - the "Math and Science Links" provide a long list of great resources online. Each section has a group of these links. || This link takes you to Dr. Mike's fraction game cards. The cards can be used in multiple ways to improve student understanding of fractions, increase their ability to add and subtract, and to order fractions. Games on this site include downloadable and printable board games as well as online games (ex. [|Traffic Jam] ) || Learning about money, telling, time, pattern blocks, base 10 blocks, integer bars, fraction bars, can be found here and used to learn about doing math with virtual (and physical) tools. || Build virtual fraction bars and practice with their use. || 5-Bars Match-Up, Small Step Race, Super FRIO, and Capture games are found here. || 5-Bars Match-Up, Small Step Race, Super FRIO, and Capture games are found here. || Manipulate fraction bars along the number line. A useful tool for helping students represent and visual these abstract relationships. || Good interactive fraction applet. || This page is a collection of java-based courseware, games, and activities for mathematics and science. At least 150 activities can be found here. Example activities include [|Tessellations] ,  [|Shape Explore]  ,  [|Fraction Sorter]. || A great site for story problems listed by job, by subject, and by technology. Also has some great net shapes of three-dimensional figures for geometry. || In addition to the fraction bars, you can search for other math tools on this site! || This CD has to be purchased, but I’m told it is excellent! || An overview of math manipulatives, virtual math manipulatives, Internet sources for math manipulatives and teacher resources for teaching math, meeting the needs of struggling readers, and much more. || Bars are hung from the song paper and you can compose your own songs, play ready made ones, and analyze the fraction bars fractional lengths and relationships to develop fraction sense. || National standards, lesson plans, and online content help can be found here. || This site provides a large number of virtual math manipulatives that can be used online or downloaded in a trial version. || An awesome site loaded with hundreds of practice and activity games that will assist with all subject areas. || an online applet that allows students to build their own tessellations. || Free songs, games and movies for a variety of subject areas. || Contains basic puzzles, mathematical problems, logic problems, etc... Some really good problem-solving problems || Some good lessons on basic concepts, equality, inequality, addition, and subtraction ||
