Tool #5

I never realized how easy this was and how many sites I could find this way. It was a lot easier to do it like this than to try and save it in a folder in the favorites menu and then it becomes so unorganized even when you think it IS organized. When you add the tags to your websites, it minimizes the amount of websites that appear and makes it more specific to what you are looking for. The tags I used was education, elementary, resource, activities, curriculum, math and science.

Two websites I found were:

Mathwire.com This website has great acitivities that you can use to challenge your kids.

The other website I found was http://investigations.terc.edu/families/helping/sampleactivities.cfm

This website was very interesting because it not only had activities for teachers, but it had simple every day activities that parents could do at home with their child to encourage meaningful math thinking. These everyday activities seem to offer excellent opportunities for parents to engage their child in critical thinking skills for math.
