Teacher and Classroom Resources
I try to supplement my instruction with relevant information,
projects, and other activities that have been tried and tested
by other teachers in their classes. Having borrowed extensively
from the cybercommunity over the years, I want to return in kind
some activites that may be useful to others.
The following are some web based activities and materials that we
have developed and used in my third (and now fifth) grade class.
I hope that you may find these useful in your class!
The following resources are JavaScript programs that
require you to be able to run JavaScript from within
your web browser. Please feel free to link our pages
to your classroom or school web pages.
Math Skills
Improve your basic math skills in addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. You can pick the number and
types of problems that you want to practice to reinforce
what you have learned in class.
This is a simple program that helps you learn basic money
skills by adding up all of those pennies, nickels, dimes,
quarters, and half-dollar coins.
Learn the basics of using math expressions greater than,
less than, equal to, and others using either words or
symbols. You can compare numbers, numeric words or even
objects such as circles, stars and bear prints!
Learn the basics of place value. You enter a number
an I'll show you the place value for up to sixteen
digits!
Language Arts
Using our weekly spelling words, Word Scrambler selects
a limited number from the list of available words and
garbles them for you to unscramble. Each time you load
the page, a new set of words and scrambled text is used.
These are not as easy as you might think!
Using our weekly spelling words, Spell It! selects
a limited number from the list of available words and
randomly removes letters from them for you to replace.
Each time you load the page, a new set of words and
missing letters are used.
Each of our spelling word lists contains an interactive
Word Search game on them. Pick the word list you want to
use and go to the bottom of the page where you can begin
playing by clicking on the "New Game" button. Each time
you re-load the page a new Word Search puzzle is created.
Using our weekly spelling words, Sort It! selects a
limited number of words from the spelling list and
presents them in a random order for you to place back
into alphabetical order. Each time you load the page,
a new set of words and presentation order is used.
Interactive Classroom Quizzes
We (okay my husband but my ideas) wrote a program
called
Quizzism that is an interactive (ask and answer) program
thats generates random questions (and answers) based on data
files containing questions on various subjects. I use this
tool as a study guide and reinforcement on our
Weekly Preview and
Homework On-line pages when appropriate.
Teachers may find these useful as sample quizzes or tests
for their classroom. Unlike the interactive style of those
on our Kids Stuff Page, these allow you to generate
printable quizzes that are suitable for classroom use
(no page logo or navigation buttons, and radio buttons
are replaced with letters). Reloading the page changes
the questions as well as the order that questions and
answers appear. Try them!
Instructions for Creating Printed Quizzes
To generate a quiz for your class (clicking on the
quiz name will take you to the on-line interactive
version):
First select the quiz you want by clicking the
radio button to the left of the quiz name.
Next enter the number of questions to use in the
Number of Questions field at the end of this list.
Press the Create Quiz button below to preview the
quiz. If you are satisfied with the quiz provided
... print it out. If you want to regenerate the
quiz (scramble questions and the order they appear)
just hit the Reload button on your browser.
Press the Answer Key button on the displayed quiz
page to generate the corresponding answer sheet!
One in a Million! -
Have you ever seen one million of anything in one
place? This is a template for creating a wall poster
that contains 1,000,000 dots!
