MathPickle.com is the newest addition to my Marvelous Math Sites LiveBinder.

#mathchat #elemchat #spedchat

It is a marvelous site for grades K-12, full of puzzles and games to stretch the mind. I particularly like the way students are able to work in groups to solve problems/puzzles.

MathPickle includes:

Great videos for teachers (via Youtube) with suggestions on how to implement MathPickle resources.
Videos for students are not YouTube creations and can easily be viewed at school.
Each lesson also contains superb PowerPoint and Keynote presentations to share with students as well as printables.

From the site: Selected unsolved problems engage a wide spectrum of student ability:

- Top students are thrilled to discover the edge of knowledge;

- Bottom Students lose their stigma of failure because everyone is failing. ”Games, puzzles, mini-competitions, and magic belong in the classroom.”

MathPickle is a free professional development resource for K-12 teachers. Here you will find problems that engage a wide spectrum of student ability.

Put your students in a pickle!

Dr. Gordon Hamilton, a mathematician, created this site because he has a a passion for K-12 mathematics classrooms.

I have added Loop Scoops to my “Kids Go Green” LiveBinder.

Loop Scoops is a series of really entertaining videos to get students thinking about the products they use. An underlying issue is what happens to the products after we use them.

NeoK12 is an amazing site for science education. Not only does it cover a huge amount of subjects but students can also create presentations, based on what they have learned, that can be viewed online and/or printed.

Students will love the ease of use and be able to start on their project rather quickly after a few minutes of instruction.

But wait it gets better! Students can also view videos, and play educational games/puzzles.Teachers can access printables as well as online quizzes.

NeoK12 is spot on when it comes to a well put together site where kids can learn about science online and share what they know.

You can find NeoK12 in my Sensational Science Sites LiveBinder along with many other great science sites.

Activity TV features cool activities for kids, many of which lend themselves to science, art, and music lesson components. Every project has a video, printable instructions, and other related information.

Activities are categorized according to theme as well as level of difficulty. Along with seasonal and holiday activities they also have:

Below is a screenshot of some of their activities.

I have added their fantastic paper airplane activities to my “Paper Airplanes and Other Flying Machines” LiveBinder. These are great for students learning to follow directions.

Have fun with History is a neat site that has an enormous library of U.S. subjects, videos, and activities that will delight you and your students. The videos are unique and fabulous and so are their activities.

Screenshot sample of their activities below.

Make sure you also check out their links to “activities by others”. Here you will find quality links to great sites with terrific interactive activities. I have found many things looking through these.

So if you are looking for anything to do with U.S. History I would stop here first. Top-notch and free, quality site for students and their curious teacher.
