Free Teaching Resources Make Mathematics Fun on Interactive Whiteboards
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on March 3, 2023 @ 6:49 am

Interactive whiteboards allow students to actually interact with the subject matter that is being presented and you’ll find that there are many great touch screen dynamics available that make them helpful for teaching math. Whiteboards are used with a computer and projector and put the images from a desktop onto the wall where they can be manipulated by touch or by using a pointer. When used along with free teaching resources whiteboards can make a huge difference in a math class.

When using these resources along with an interactive whiteboard, suddenly number is a subject that is more hands-on for students. Instead of being a concept that they can’t see, they are now able to see and touch the concept. Everyday ways of using math can be displayed with the whiteboard so they have both an auditory and a visual example of what is going on and why the information is important. The more senses engaged during learning, the more likely students are to retain the information that is being taught.

There is a large selection of free teaching resources available for math teachers. On the web there are many mathematical specific options that can be implemented into the classroom. Along with these resources, PowerPoint is a huge help as well. With this program you are able to create lessons, graphs to help illustrate lessons. Graphs that are in 3D are perfect for teaching math. With interactive whiteboards you can make simple 3D graphs come to life, changing them when things occur to illustrate what is happening.

You’ll also find that interactive whiteboards are perfect when you want to play games in the classroom. There are many great math games that help to illustrate tough concepts. Pupils are able to better understand the concepts with games and activities that make them use the material that they have learned. Not only can you use games that you find online, but you can easily create games of your own to play or to stretch advanced students they can create their own mathematical games, a great way to get the most out of pupil’s abilities and free teaching resources!

10 Interactive Science Education Websites For Grades K-12
Posted in Education by anshbookstore on January 6, 2022 @ 8:34 pm

As science teachers prepare to go back to school for the next school year, some have already returned, they are always searching for good online resources to supplement their lessons. It is always nice when someone helps them by previewing science websites and make recommendations.

The best science education websites are interactive, allowing students to make changes to or manipulate variables to observe what happens and share with others. This falls within the boundaries of inquiry-based teaching and learning. Students are developing their own experiments, observing the results, and reporting their findings.

The following websites have been previewed and meet the criteria of interactive and inquiry-based:

FOSS Web – is designed to support Full Option Science System (FOSS) Science K-8 science kits, but anyone can use the interactive activities for grades K – 8.

Volcano Cams – provides real-time views of volcanoes around the world. Students can observe volcanoes and develop their own experiments using these virtual cams for grades 5 – 12.

Explore eLearning – provides simulators for all science concept areas for grades 3 – 12.

Real-time Stream Flow Data across the Nation – by the US Geological Survey (USGS) provides real-time data typically are recorded at 15- to 60-minte intervals and transmitted to the U.S. Geological Survey offices every four hours. Data can be selected by state and county for grades 8 – 12.

Real-time Water Quality Data across the Nation-by the US Geological Survey (USGS) provides real-time water quality data are returned directly field instruments. Data are updated at five minute to one-hour intervals. Data can be selected by state and county for grades 8 -12.

Design a Roller Coaster – allows students to design their own roller coaster. They are building a conceptual coaster using the same physics concepts that are used to design real coasters for grades 6 – 12.

Human Anatomy Online – allows students to explore the Human Anatomy. Each topic has animations, 100’s of graphics, and thousands of descriptive links, for grades 4 – 12.

Earth and Atmospheric Kids Crossing – allows students explore water, atmosphere, and weather for grades 3 – 8.

Recycle City – lets students explore plenty of ways to see how a city’s residents recycle, reduce, and reuse waste for grades 3 – 8.

MBG Net – allows students to explore Biomes, Freshwater Systems, and Marine Systems of the World for grades 6 – 12.
