The Math-Whizz Teachers’ Resource is now in version 3.1 and it is jam packed with more tools than ever! I recently had the opportunity to visit a local elementary school here in Seattle and the teachers there were amazed to see just how many great digital tools and endless uses are compiled into just one facet of our Teachers’ Resource – the Interactive Board.
Teachers can harness the myriad resources available within the Teachers’ Resource for whole class instruction that adapts to any lesson plan. No matter the topic, the Interactive Board has the tools needed for an exciting introduction to a new concept or to deliver an engaging lesson seamlessly on your school’s Interactive White Board. Introducing currency and simple addition problems dealing with change? The Interactive Board can help you introduce your students to the concept by visually showing them pennies, nickles and dimes (quarters too!) on your White Board to your whole class before breaking into small groups for further investigation.
This is of course just one component of the Teachers’ Resource, keep your eyes on our blog to learn more about how to effectively use this fantastic resource throughout your school. Psst… for fun math worksheets be sure to follow us on Twitter @MathWhizz!
