Last week, I spent a day and a half at a Math Common Core training with Math teachers K-5. It was great to learn more about the math standards, and to "play math" with our consultant,
Kristen Clegg from the Dynamic Math institute. I had been in two previous trainings before with Kristen, however, this one was unique as there was no internet! Kristen really likes the
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives which has several applets for you to interact with, and had a desktop version to share, however, we've had some issues with the site working properly on our apple computers.
At a conference that I recently attended, I learned about another great manipulatives site by
McGraw Hill. There are a variety of manipulatives for K-8 that are very dynamic and easy to use. I love that you can pull in rulers and such as well. Once done working, you have the option of printing out what you worked on as well - which would be great for a station! See below for an example.
If you are interested in learning more about this site or would like a personalized demo, please feel free to ask!
