math world

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/

Math world is an website that I found. It is full of resources that can be used to teach math. It is definitely meant for a higher level, but I still like how much the website has to offer. Each tab on the left side of the page covers a different aspect of math: number theory, calculus, algebra etc. I think that the material found on the page will be great for teachers to use to learn math and to challenge students who may need it.

googlemaps.com

Google maps is a resource that is used for directions to various locations around the world. Google maps is frequently used on smart phones and GPS systems. I think that Google maps could also be used for math in the classroom. It would be a great way to teach students about distance. Students could calculate the distance from their home to school and then graph the results as a class to see who lives the furthest. They could also calculate the average distance traveled among their class mates.

Blendspace.com

Blendspace is a great resource for teachers. The website allows teachers to come up with lesson plans from, videos, clips, and other tools found on the internet. The website also allows users to create quizzes to check for understanding. I thought this website would be great to use for math because there a re so many resources that can help students how to solve math problems. I also thing that Have a lesson based on videos could be fairly engaging for students.

ABCya!

ABCya.com is a website full of interactive tools that can be used for math. The tool that I took a close look at was the 100 number chart. The chart can be highlighted with 20 different colors. One way to use this in math would be to have students highlight all the even numbers in pink and all of the odd numbers in green. Also, higher elementary grades could use the chart to highlight all of the factors of a given number.
