Promethean Planet

Promethean Planet has a large selection of Math games to choose from. I had the class play a game of long division. The particular game I chose projected two like division problems on the white board. The class was divided into two teams. One person from each team came forward and solved the problem. If they were correct they received a point. If they finished first and were correct they received an extra point. All students were called forward. They seemed to enjoy the competition.

Clickers

I observed a Math class that used clickers for division practice. Each student solved a problem then entered their answer. The teacher could monitor who completed the problem and if the answer was correct. She then revealed the correct answer, and the percent correct to the entire class. What I liked about it was that it made all students accountable and the teacher could easily see who was performing and who was not. The students really liked the novelty of it.

educreations

I had students create and present their own math tutorials. They worked in groups and were very engaged in the activities. The presentations were enjoyed and beneficial. It would have been easier if each classroom had more ipads available for the students, but other than that all went well.
