Site of the Week - Math Is Power 4 U

This site was shared with me by Mrs. Freeman over at Edgewood (5th Grade). She said she uses it a lot. It covers topics from pre-algebra to calculus! So it should be a great tool for a Middle School!

Site of the Week - Learn Zillion

You can find a lesson (or more) on any given standard, Math and Language Arts.. Once you sign up (and signing up is free) you can search by grade, domain, and standard. Or you can just type in a topic in the search bar. For instance, if you type in Absolute Value, you might find this video.

Once you have gotten to the page with the video, you can also view the slides the video was created from, comments from the video's creator, see some guided practice questions, and more.

These videos could be part of a Success Time lesson, viewed in the computer lab, set up for a sub.

Using Tables to Solve Rate and Ratio Problems

Here is about a 9 minute clip (created using the Educreations free app) helping students solve rate and ratio problems using tables.



 Also, here is a link to Rate as a Function of Slope.

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.
