Practice with degrees of rotation (angles) to replicate shapes using Shape Rotate. Start the activity to obtain a pattern to reproduce. Select the number of degrees rotation for each piece and the number of times it appears in the shape. Press shape rotate to produce your shape and see if it matches. If incorrect, directions tell what needs correction such as more degrees needed. If correct, move on to a new pattern. Be sure your Flash version is up to date for this one.

tag(s): angles (63), rotation (12)

In the Classroom

Use Shape Rotate on your interactive whiteboard (or projector) to review and practice degrees and rotation of angles. Discuss different strategies for choosing degrees of rotation within a pattern. Use this site as a model and have students create their own pattern and rotations for other students to solve.

Find many useful Common Core resources located at the Kansas Association Teachers of Mathematics (KATM) website. Specifically, find and print Common Core flip books created by the association. Available for all grades K-12, the flip books intend to help teachers understand standards in terms of what students should know or do. Also check out the Summer Academy files that link to several documents such as a Common Core treasure hunt and grade level transition documents to help make the move to Common Core standards. The main page offers links to more information about the Kansas Common Core, interactive math sites, and links to more sites about Common Core.

tag(s): commoncore (45), professional development (37)

In the Classroom

If you are implementing Common Core standards in your classroom, the flip books are an excellent tool containing examples of Common Core strategies, misconceptions, and much more. Print the flip book for your grade level on heavy paper and use throughout the year as a guide for math instruction. Copy individual pages as desired to send home to parents to explain instruction and demonstrate examples for understanding. Use the Summer Academy files during staff development opportunities to practice and understand Common Core concepts.

Not Just Sums offers several math interactives and printable resources. Choose the link to games to find many engaging activities perfect for any math class in the upper elementary/middle school grades. There is Cricket Challenge (overall review of many math concepts), Halloween Pumpkin Pairs Game, The Wall Addition, Magic Square Investigation, and more. Each activity offers simple directions and most have a timed element for competition. The Sample Resources link includes links to printable resources for classroom use. Although labeled as worksheets, many activities go beyond simple fill in the answer problems. They are also appropriate for many learning and extension uses. This site was created in the United Kingdom so Americans will notice some spelling, currency, and measurement differences.

In the Classroom

The activities on this site are perfect for use on interactive whiteboards or classroom computers. Have students try activities to increase fact fluency as well as fluency with number patterns. Print and use worksheets from this site for homework, math centers, or review of current content. It would be simple to differentiate for your gifted students or learning support students. For example, there are specific activities to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Choose the one that each particular student needs to practice the most. If students are beyond basic operations, try the Cricket Challenge or Magic Square Investigation (both appear more challenging than the basic operations activity). Note: American children can learn about cricket, too!

This is an extensive "hotlist" of sites and lessons to be used on the SMART Board. In addition there are many tutorials to help you learn about the SMART Board. This collection covers mainly grades K-5 and all subject areas. However, there are also some resources for secondary level. The topics vary greatly, and the quantity of websites is impressive. Some items will require you to have Smart Board software installed on your computer to open the files. Some files will work using the SMART Notebook Express online viewer reviewed here. Some of the resources shared are created in the United Kingdom. American English speakers may notice some slight spelling differences. Please note: some of the resources are websites that could be used on any brand of interactive whiteboard (or computer) and are not strictly Smart Board resources.

Many of these tools could be used on any brand of Interactive Whiteboard.

Math Champs offers 30 free math activities for ages 5 though 11. Choose an age group from three different levels to begin. Topics begin with simple addition and subtraction, but also include more challenging multiplication and division. Activities provide short instructions to begin play. Turn sound off or on using the button near the top of each game. Choose from most popular games and view high scores. Scores are recorded only after signing up for the site newsletter, but membership is not necessary to play games. This site was created for the UK so American English speakers may find some slightly different spellings.

Create magical looking artwork as you click and drag with this beautiful site. Personalize the images using the color and format links at the bottom of the screen. Choose from vertical or four-way symmetry or symmetry off. Include new age music to add to the magical effects or turn music off with a simple click. Share your creations through links to Twitter, Facebook, email, or copy the link. Althought there is no option to print or save a finished design, you could take a screenshot (Shift+ Command +4 on a mac or Prtscrn key on Windows) and save or paste it into a document to write about or save.

tag(s): colors (58), symmetry (38)

In the Classroom

Use this site to explore symmetry with your students on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Watch what happens when you choose from the different available options. Discuss what emotions certain colors can induce. Have students create their own artwork then print and post to a class bulletin board display (or share on your class website or blog). Challenge students to identify the type or types of symmetry shown in each design. Use this site in both art and math class while learning about symmetry. Have students take screenshots and write about their creations.
