Great Resources!

I am so blessed to have a colleague who regularly passes on to me great websites to enhance my math instruction. Many include activities that are excellent for use with a Smart Board. With her permission, I have included some of them below for you all to check out.

Math TV: students watch math videos and problem-solve
http://mathtv.org/


This is a great website-tons of educational videos, Smart Board lesson starters, etc. Definitely worth checking out! My students have enjoyed the videos as introductions to units or specific lessons.

This site provides activities in Science, Math, Art and more. They are great on the Smart Board but would work well for centres too.

Using Technology to Differentiate Instruction- There are lots of good resources and suggestions here!

This is a British site with tons of great resources for many curricular areas. Several resources are well-suited to Smart Board use.

I hope that you find some of these useful in your own classroom. I know that I have!
