1. Interactivate is a set of free, online courseware for exploration in science and mathematics. It is comprised of activities, lessons, and discussions.
2. NCTM Illuminations Explore their library of 108 online activities that help to make math come alive in the classroom or at home.Some examples of useful resources as as follows:
Primary Krypto Playing a Game with Five Number Cards and Arithmetic Operations to Create a "Target" Number
Shape Cutter Drawing, Cutting, Sliding, Turning, and Flipping Shapes
Shape Tool Drawing, Coloring, Pasting, Slicing, Rotating, Reflecting, Expanding, and Contracting Various Shapes
Grouping and Grazing Counting, Adding, and Subtracting by Grouping Cows
Data Grapher Analyzing Data with Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, Pie Charts, and Pictographs
3. Lure of the Labyrinth Lure of the Labyrinth is a product of the Learning Games to Go (LG2G) project, funded by a Star Schools grant from the U.S. Department of Education, spearheaded by Maryland Public Television (MPT). re of the Labyrinth is a digital game for middle-school pre-algebra students. It includes a wealth of intriguing math-based puzzles wrapped into an exciting narrative game in which students work to find their lost pet - and save the world from monsters! Linked to both national and state mathematics standards, the game gives students a chance to actually think like mathematicians.

6. National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) is an NSF supported project that began in 1999 to develop a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (K-12 emphasis). Some examples of Virtual manipulatives for Number & Operations are as follows: Bar Chart – Create a bar chart showing quantities or percentages by labeling columns and clicking on values. Base Blocks – Illustrate addition and subtraction in a variety of bases. Base Blocks Addition – Use base ten blocks to model grouping in addition. Base Blocks Decimals – Add and subtract decimal values using base blocks. Base Blocks Subtraction – Use base ten blocks to model separation of groups in subtraction. Fraction Bars – Learn about fractions using fraction bars. Fractions - Naming – Write the fraction corresponding to the highlighted portion of a shape. Fractions - Parts of a Whole – Relates parts of a whole unit to written description and fraction. Bar Chart – Create a bar chart showing quantities or percentages by labeling columns and clicking on values. Base Blocks Decimals – Add and subtract decimal values using base blocks. Base Blocks Subtraction – Use base ten blocks to model separation of groups in subtraction. |
