Problem Solving Strategies
 |
 Old Stamps http://Illuminations.nctm.org/swr/review.asp?SWR=149 Figure out how an old roll of 15 cent stamps could be combined with some new 33 cent stamps to mail a package. |
 |
Pigeonholes http://Illuminations.nctm.org/swr/review.asp?SWR=2066 Enjoy exploring achallenge that asks, “How many people would have to be in a school to guarantee that at least one pair of people has the same first and last initials?" |
Number Relationships and Computation: Fractions
 |
 Fractions
- Adding http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_106_g_2_t_1.html Using this manipulative you may: * Find a common denominator * Name equivalent fractions * Combine fraction representations * Write a fraction sum * Work another problem |
 |
Fractions
- Naming http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_104_g_2_t_1.html Using this virtual manipulative you may: * Indicate the number of colored parts in the picture (numerator) * Indicate the total number of parts in the picture (denominator) * Find out if your fraction name matches the picture * Ask for a new fraction to name |
 |
Fractions
- Parts of a Whole http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_102_g_2_t_1.html Using this manipulative you may: * Highlight Parts of a Whole * Read a Fraction Statement * Choose a Number of Parts * Choose a New Whole |
 |
The Factor Game http://illuminations.nctm.org/tools/tool_detail.aspx?id=12 The Factor Game is a fun interactive game that checks your factoring ability. Test your skills against a human or the computer. |
 |
Fraction
Pieces http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_274_g_2_t_1.html?open=activities The user can choose among pieces that represent fractional portions of either a circular or square region. |
 |
Factorize http://illuminations.nctm.org/tools/tool_detail.aspx?id=64 This activity allows the user to visually explore the concept of factors by creating rectangular arrays on a grid whose area is equal to the product of the factors. |
 |
Equivalent Fraction http://illuminations.nctm.org/tools/tool_detail.aspx?id=80 Create fractions in blue, red, and green to make equivalent fractions. |
Number Relationships and Computation: Decimals
 |
Fraction to Decimal converter http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/conversions/index.html This activity allows the user to explore converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals. |
 |

 |
Power Football http://Illuminations.nctm.org/swr/review.asp?SWR=98 In this online activity loosely based on football, correct answers advance the ball towards the goal posts and incorrect answers result in the loss of a down. Getting the ball to the goal posts within four downs results in a field goal. Students may find this a motivating format in which to practice operations on decimals. |
 |
Fraction
Pointer http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/fracfinder1/index.html The activity provides the user with two fractions, a pair of shapes, and a number line. Each shape is connected to a point on the number line corresponding to one of the fractions. By creating a group of smaller sections within each shape, the user can color a portion of the shape to match the fraction. |
Probability
 |
|
 |
Probability http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/prob/index.html This activity allows the user to conduct probability experiments with devices such as a spinner and dice. Studying random events with such devices and computer simulations allows you to gain familiarity with the connection between experimental and theoretical probability. |
 |
Racing game with 1 dice http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/race/index.html This site allows the user to simulate a race where the results are based on the roll of a die. The user can determine which player moves forward for a given roll, and can then experiment with the race by determining which player will win more often based on the rules that they specify. |
Algebra, Patterns, and Functions
 |
Guess the Number http://illuminations.nctm.org/swr/review.asp?SWR=1595 As students think about these problems provided by the Funbrain “magician” they will be challenged to complete at least two operations per problem in order to determine the missing number. |
 |
Simple coordinate game http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/pcoords/index.html This activity allows the user to plot points on the coordinate plane and to read the coordinates of a point plotted by the computer. |
