Educational Apps are being purchased on Students' Personal iPods

You know the excitement of learning is taking place when your students go home and ask parents to purchase the apps they are using in the classroom.  Some of their favorites are  Fraction Factory, Motion Math, and Flashcard Touch.  They are also starting to use their iPods to read novels.  It's exciting to have your students ask if it is okay to read or study flashcards for an upcoming test using their iPods. 

I post announcements of which apps we are using in class along with cost on their homework page.

Math Resources

Looking for interactive Math activities.  Check out this website with a variety of math resources for grades 3-5.  They are also a good resource for 6th grade.  The site also provides a link to K-2 resources.  Math Resources Grades 3-5 

One of my students favorite is Banana Hunt.  We have a competition in class to see who can earn the most bananas in 10 tries.  I have a grand prize at the end of the week for the top winner.  The competition encourages my students while the game teaches them angles.  Playing the game, students learn to represent acute, obtuse, and straight angles.
