SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Check out the activities on the Queensland Art Gallery website. You can take a quiz on Andy Warhol, create your own patterns, your own world of dots, and more! Below is the Warhol quiz. Have a great weekend!

One of our teachers asked if I had any activities for making patterns. I have posted a few things, but really need to add this one from Bedford Bytes to the list. Students can touch and drag images from nature to create patterns. The images can be flipped and turned to make it a little more challenging. The pattern can also be printed. Check it out!

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.

Here is a great “Counter Square” from AmblesidePrimary.com. You can use a square, circle, or triangle in order to make patterns, highlight prime numbers, and label odd/even numbers, etc. Just click on the Ideas for more ways to use the chart.
