Back in December I blogged about the gold mine of interactive whiteboard resources found at tes.iboard.co.uk. At the time, the site offered their resources free for 6 months with a school account. I am happy to announce that now ALL the resources are free and no account creation is needed. Please have another look at this gem for whiteboard resources in all subjects. Thanks to Jonathan Wylie over at The Education Technology Blog for bringing this to my attention again!
Below is a really cool Insect Survey activity. From the site: Zoom in on different parts of the picture to count the insects. Use the three sets of data to prompt a range of comparison questions. Investigate which insects are in the scene – could be used as a preliminary activity before carrying out a survey in the school grounds and plotting the results.

Sadlier-oxford.com offers a wonderful collection of interactive resources for students in grades PreK-6. There are math, vocabulary, phonics, grammar, and reading and writing games. Just click on the tabs and dig around a little. The activities will be found in the “Student” portion of each page. Some of the activities for the lower grades are narrated, including Alphabet Zoo (phonics) which you see below. Please check out this site!

The Count Us In section of abc.net.au has a wonderful selection of math games for young children. Topics range from addition, subtraction, patterns, measurement, and more. This particular game (Game 13) requires that you put two halves together to make a whole picture. Once that is completed, the objects will move and dance around. Check them out! There are 15 games in all, and most work well on the SMART Board. Make sure you click the “How to Play” button if you run in to trouble.
