Good Morning Grade 7,

Here is a link to a site that has some cool games that allow you to practice decimal concepts.

Decimal Games

Hello Grade 1,

Today we are going to look at a site that posts pictures to encourage us to write. This is one that I did.

PicLit Picture

Now it is your turn to write a sentence about this picture.

Yikes....I had this all done with a number of cool sites and I lost everything.  Sometimes technology does not make things easier.

Here is a story about mixed numbers that reviews the definition.

Mixed Numbers

Here are some sites to help you identify mixed numbers.

Whole or Mixed

Mixed Circle

Now that you have become so good at adding fractions we must use our smarts to subtract fractions.

Try this site to practice subtracting fractions.

Visual Fractions

Good luck!

Good Morning Students,

Yesterday you were so engaged in class that I thought technology must be a good thing.  I found some sites that will help us add fractions.  Here is Part 1.

Go to this site.

http://www.visualfractions.com/AddEasy.html

This site requires you to add like fractions.  The cool thing about using the computer is that you don't have to draw your manipulative.  You work with virtual manipulatives online.  You must however record your equation and answer in your notebook.  Please do at least 15 of these questions.

Part 2

Today we are going to work with equivalent fractions on line.

I have links to games for you to play to practice what we have been learning in integers.

Comparing Integers - This game has you decide whether integers are the same, greater than or less than.

Good Morning Grade 7,

Please click on the link to this movie and watch it.

Movie

All of the pictures in this movie have to do with our next unit on integers.  Feel free to look through the unit and watch the movie again (two or three times it you like) and explain how the pictures are related to our unit on integers.

Thank you grade seven's for your help with the presentation today.  I had lots and lots of positive comments about your work AND I can't really express in words how much I appreciated your help.  I couldn't have put together such a great show without your excellent ideas.

What did you enjoy most about doing this presentation?  What did you learn while doing this?

We are studying algebraic expressions.  How did the online games help you practice this concept?  Write about the differences between an algebraic expression and an equation.  You could refer to your notes or perhaps you might even find another website or video that will help explain this.
