SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Hope you are having a great Monday morning!

Now your students can learn all about shapes by using Shape Facts from Innovations Learning. Find out how many sides and corners a shape has, as well as determine the lines of symmetry by folding the shape. Very handy!

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.

Happy Monday! Today I’d like to share StarrMatica.com. StarrMatica.com is a subscription-based website that offers interactive practice of math and reading concepts. However, there are a few freebies for all to enjoy, as well as a free trial option. Check out the 3-D Earth Exploration activity. Students must find and identify hidden shapes at a theme park after taking a ride to earth on a spaceship. This would be great for younger students learning shapes!

I found out about MathNook.com from the iLearnTechnology blog. MathNook.com provides a good collection of flash math games, and there are a few that work great on the SMART Board such as the Brain Test activity. From the site: Drag the correct math symbol to complete the equation. The symbol match portion of the game requires you to draw a line to the matching symbol.  Remember to draw an “o” if no match.
