Site of the Week

Inside Mathematics is a great resource for supplementing Agile Mind. It offers "Problems of the Month" for all grades. Not a "skill and drill" site, but a place where perseverance and precision are required. (CC SMP #'s 1 and 6)

Website of the Week!

The website of the week is worksheetworks.com

I found this site several years ago, and have shared it with as many as possible since. Great activities for all subject matter. These worksheets can be created to suit many different needs as they allow you to set some of the parameters. Then, it generates a new worksheet each time, even if you leave the parameters the same. These are then given as a PDF file with the answer key.

Great for subs, Success Time, or to reinforce a specific lesson!

Test Prep Vocabulary Activities

Click here or on the above pick for the PDF file. (Must be signed in to ACS e-mail)

This file contains multiple activities (I Have/Who Has, card games) that deal with the vocabulary students will encounter when taking tests. Though most deal with reading (summarize, predict, etc.), there are some that would relate to math or other subjects as well (classify, explain, etc.)

This would be a great activity for any class, for when you have a sub, for Success Time, or as a review.
