Activity

Lesson plan(s)

Fractions

Fraction Bars
An easy-to-use fraction program that helps students see and understand equivalent parts of a whole. You can use fractions, decimals or percent.

 
Fraction Track Game Tool (1 Player)
The Fraction Game promotes students using equivalent fractions to move their game piece across a series of fraction lines.

 

Fraction Track Game (2 Players)
The 2-player version of the Fraction Game.

 
Pattern Blocks: Exploring Fractions with Shapes
Pattern Blocks is a program that lets you use virtual pattern blocks. No Matter What Shape Your Fractions Are In provides lesson plans for using the Pattern Blocks Program for fractional exploration.
Fractions - Visualizing
This applet uses squares and circles to help students visualize how much of a whole a given fraction is.

Fraction Sorter
Generates a random pair of fractions that students must create a representation of and place on a number line.

 
Fraction Pointer
Given two points on a number line, students create representations and find a third point between them.
 
Multiplication

Base 10 Blocks
This is a basic Base-10 Blocks program that allows you to work on a blank background, a mat, or a coordinate grid.

 
The Product Game
This is a game that reinforces student development of Product-related concepts. It's great because it provides a lot of practice and problem solving and logic simultaneously.
The Factor Game
This game encourages students to explore factors andrelationships while developing logic skills.
 
Multiplication: An Adventure in Number Sense
This applet provides students with three different ways of thinking about multiplication in one applet. It uses an area model by highlighting the area of the multiples, provides a number chart format, and provides skip counting along the bottom and right edge.

Factorize
An applet to help students identify factor pairs and create arrays showing those pairs.

 
Learning About Number Relationships and Properties: Using Calculators and Hundred Boards
This is a calculator applet that allows students to explore repeated addition as a model for multiplication.
Sieve of Eratosthenes
Normally, the sieve is used to find prime numbers, but it can also be used to find patterns.
Time & Money
Money
This is an applet that lets kids "buy" items abd/or make change. There are 3 levels. It uses realistic images of the money.
 
Time Teller
This applet provides students with a numeric time to show on an analog clock.
 
Time
The time applet supports students learning to tell time on digital and analog clocks.

What Time Will it Be?
Using analog clocks, practice adding time.

 
Stop the Clock 1
Match an analog clock with its digital readout. (simple level)
 
Stop the Clock 2
Match an analog clock with its digital readout.
 
Stop the Clock 3
Match an analog clock with its digital readout.
 
Stop the Clock 4
Match an analog clock with its digital readout.
 
Stop the Clock 5
Match an analog clock with its digital readout. (difficult level)
