ICT food for thought

I'm sure we can all relate to this! We can learn a lot from our children  and they enjoy teaching each other. But how do we get to this...  Supporting each other  and  one small step at a time!

Kiwi /Motor cross multiplication (Rachael) http://nzmaths.co.nz/kiwi-multiplication http://nzmaths.co.nz/motocross-multiplication Julia’s activity can be found here too… http://nzmaths.co.nz/home-school-partnership-numeracy-activities Adding multiples of ten.  You need two zeros and cards A-10, place a card beside both zeros and add the two numbers together eg. 20+30=50  The winner keeps the cards. Snails – outside room 3  – using beanbags, throw them on numbers and add or multiply the numbers.  You can say what comes before or after.  Count forwards or backwards. Hop scotch – say the numbers before/after.  You could add 10 add on 2 etc (Jac) Ambleside primary website– timestables (Patrick) http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/supersequencer.html Here is another good link on the same site… http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/tabletrees.html Learning objects activity called ‘arrays’ http://digistore.tki.org.nz/ec/vie...

Maths site for transformation

Hi. I use this site quite a lot and I know there are heaps of things out there showing reflection, rotation and translation but I quite like the tutorial type activities on this one and they would be great used with your mimio boards - they are called elabs. So click on the link, go to geometry and see what is there and what suits your class. I put some of them onto my blog last year for the kids to play after we had done as a class. Love to know what you think. (: Jac http://www.harcourtschool.com/hspmath/na/index.html

Hello I have made a computerised version of myself ( and I know some others have too). It is very cool and you can use them on your profiles instead of using a photograph - mine is on facebook and my google account. Also I am trying to use it for my email signature and if I succeed you will see that happen cos I will send you an email. Here is my wee mee If you want to know more about it you can go straight to http://www.weeworld.com to make one straight away ...  http://jacquisharp.blogspot.com/search/label/Avatars or if you want to choose a different type and know more about them look at http://jacquisharp.blogspot.com/2009/01/weemee-graphic-signature-for-emails.html Tell me what you think of my weemee!!
