In addition to the many high-quality printables offered by the folks at SuperTeacherWorksheets.com, they have also begun creating and sharing SMART Notebook files! The files are free to use and very well-made. You’ll love the worksheets that go along with each lesson as well. Currently, there are Notebook files for linear measurement (half inch, quarter inch, and eighth inch), the Solar System and the human body. You can download them here. Below is a preview of the Solar System lesson. Enjoy!

I absolutely love this site for a “free choice” activity in the computer lab or on the SMART Board. Most of them are brain/fun-type games, and there are plenty to choose from! Enjoy!

Fraction Flags is a great way to visually learn fractions. You can choose on the main menu to design a flag using halves, four one-quarters, three-quarters and one quarter, or a half and two one-quarters. Enjoy!
