SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Under the Sea is a FABULOUS interactive resource for practicing a variety of math skills from counting money to place value to fractions. This site is very engaging and would work great on the SMART Board. Below is a screen shot of the Comparing and Ordering Numbers activity. Enjoy!

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.

Learningmedia.co.nz has 8 interactive resources for students that include science, literacy, and math topics. The one I’d like to highlight is Flitting with Fractions. Flitting with Fractions is a great way to show students how fractions work. You will be asked a question, such as “Catch all of the butterflies with long legs.” Then, simply drag the correct butterflies to the top of the jar and release them. Close the lid, then enter the correct numerator and denominator by touching the numbers. You can then check your answer and move to the next problem. This is also a multi-lingual game! Check it out.
