Now that Educreations has decided to charge for its services (to the tune of about $100/year), I am switching to Show Me. Show me is similar to Educreations, and is a free app with unlimited storage. Educreations still has a free version, but many of the previously free features (such as unlimited storage) are now only available in the paid version.
Below is a first attempt at using Show Me. As you can see, it looks similar to Educreations.
While Show Me does not have as many features as Educreations, it appears to be a solid app. I like that I can import PDFs or other formats as a background, and can have several pages set up ahead and scroll through them as needed. I also like that I can explore topics and find things that I might be able to use in the classroom.
Here is an example of a video found on their site that teaches about solving 1 and 2 step equations. These can be embedded on a site as below, or you can link to them.
Thanks, Show Me!

Success Time - Ratios
More ideas for week 3 (Bar Models and Tables lessons) (Click here for PDF)
Keep in mind that our standard is 6.1.6, "Use models to represent ratios"
Fractions are another model that represents ratios. And clocks are a great way to represent fractions!

Success Plans
Some of the teachers and paras who do not regularly teach math were asking for some more direction regarding instruction for Success Time. I have taken my lesson plans for the first week of Success Time and have added some additional instructional information to make them easier to follow.
Update 9/12/13: I have adjusted the PDF file to correct a couple of typos in the worksheet and also to lower the numbers used in the problems. In giving instruction, I felt that using the larger numbers interfered with the students ability to understand desired learning goal.
Standard 6.1.6: "Use Models to Represent Ratios"
Link to PDF of lesson plans for 1st week of Success Time. These could easily be used for week 2 plans for someone who has not covered the material in this manner.
Hope you find this helpful!
