Here are a couple of new resources for mathematics. Hat tip to Carolyn Jackson and Megan Petrie for these.
This first resource is from an Edudemic blog post. The post contains some great resources, but my favorite is Number Pieces. Number Pieces is essentially virtual base ten blocks. There are lots of possible uses. One use may be to have students set up an addition problem that illustrates the concept of “carrying over.” Even better, they can take a screenshot of it and in Educreations they can use it to explain the process of how the ones form a new ten. Now they have a video that can be used in their portfolio or during student let conferences to demonstrate their thinking.
