Thanks to @waltonjm for sharing on Twitter these Fridge Letters found at Awenmedia.com. Similar to the Word Magnets I posted about a few days ago, but different in that this is a downloadable file that you will need to install and run from your desktop. It is free, and there is also a few other freebies found on the site.
Learningclip.co.uk is a math website that includes many different interactive activities that work well on the SMART Board. What’s different about this site is that each activity begins with a video clip explaining the activity. This site is based out of the UK, so you’ll have to watch for the currency and measurement differences. The activities can be made full screen, and each comes with 3 handy tools to help students work the problem on the board: a clock, calculator, and notepad. The resources are free, but you do need to create an account to access them. It’s well worth it! Check out Division Ducks.
