This wonderful, incredibly creative site is truly a "treasure" for elementary classroom teachers! Information about coins, the U.S. Mint, and American history is presented in a fun and interactive format with many choices for visitors! There are extensive resources for teachers, including lessons and an educator newsletter, along with a large selection of project ideas for the classroom. In addition, students can follow links to games such as Map Mania and Peter the Eagle's Coin Drop.

tag(s): coins (12), money (114)

In the Classroom

Save this site as a favorite on classroom computers and use it as a learning center or station! Word games, coin practice activities, and videos are available on this site. Some games can also be printed if that technique works better in your classroom. This is an excellent site to accompany any unit on currency or the Treasury Department in the United States.

Don't know what to do with your data? Select from five different graphs and charts to create a visual representation of your data that meets your needs. Efficient organization provides an easy interface. Customize the design with the many available features after selecting your graph. Insert your data into the boxes provided and customize your labels. Preview your graph and go back to make changes. View your data in all five graph options to provide the best visual representation of your information. Tabs to provide help and examples for each menu item while creating your graph provide a great resource. Print your graph, download it in six different formats, or share it with a link sent to an email address. This tool tops the charts. Email not required, but needed to receive the URL for your graph if you select that option.

tag(s): charts and graphs (184), coordinates (16)

In the Classroom

After collecting data as a class create a graph together on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Switch between all five options to show the students how the same data can be represented in different visual formats. Which graph is the best graph to represent your data? Discuss how advertisers use graphs to influence consumers. Students can collect their own data to graph. Post graphs for students to view and analyze. Have cooperative learning groups write questions for peers to analyze their graph. Graph results from science experiments or student polls in any subject area. Create simple graphs for even the youngest students to practice reading data.

Test your students' knowledge of fractions, measurements, basic math skills, and logic in this interactive pouring game. Students must transfer liquid, empty and refill containers to achieve the correct volumes needed to win the game. Use as an independent math enrichment activity.

tag(s): logic (176), measurement (123), volume (33)

In the Classroom

Share the Can You Fill It? game on an interactive whiteboard or projector to demonstrate how to play, and then create a link to Can You Fill It? on classroom computers. Challenge students to begin playing without time limits. As they become more skilled, start using the clock and have them try to beat it. Have students take a screenshot of the game. Next, they can upload the screenshot image and add voice bubbles to explain what they learned. Use a tool such as Phrase.it, reviewed here. If you do not know how to convert a screenshot into an image file, take a picture of the screen using a digital camera, then upload the file to your computer. Be sure to share a link to the Can You Fill It? game on your class website or blog for play at home.

This is one of Life's Little Lessons featuring Daniel Tiger. Use it to help young children "work on feelings about separation and independence, memory skills, developing self-control, and expressing feelings." There are three videos to watch and discuss, as well as resources for classroom use, and resources to share with parents about separation.

tag(s): emotions (72), social and emotional learning (203)

In the Classroom

Discover the delightful Daniel Tiger and his friends and family through these videos. Even your youngest nursery school students will be able to relate to the characters, images, and story in these three films. They will probably want to watch them again and again! Parents and students alike will benefit from the resources provided. There is also a Teacher Tips sheet that provides suggestions for helping children adjust to separating from their families for awhile. Be sure to use the suggested free, online book on the Teacher Tips sheet with your students and their parents.

Beneath it all lies a treasure trove of math lessons, activities, and games for elementary, middle school, and high school students. The site also includes a number of resources specifically for teachers. There's a real international flavor to the content, so math teachers will need to choose appropriate resources carefully. Still, there's much to use here.

Turn an Earth Day cleanup into a real-world math and civic-action project with this four-part unit centered on collecting, organizing, and interpreting trash data. Students participate in a cleanup, tally the types of litter they find, combine results into class statistics, develop a survey for other classrooms or schools, analyze responses, and use their findings to recommend an action plan to reduce trash in the community. The unit emphasizes data analysis, inference, argument, and community problem-solving and includes objectives, materials, lesson outlines, standards connections, and suggestions for classrooms with either one computer or several. Some technology directions reflect the era in which the resource was created, including references to e-mail surveys, Web-page forms, modems, and saving files to disks, so teachers will likely want to update the digital workflow while preserving the core investigation.

tag(s): conservation (100), earth day (61), ecology (113), pollution (57)

In the Classroom

Have students participate in a school or neighborhood cleanup, tally each type of litter they collect, and combine the class results into categories and percentages before discussing which kinds of waste are most common. Students can work in pairs to design a short litter survey for classmates or other classes using Google Forms, reviewed here, then compare the survey responses with the cleanup data.
