Pattern Blocks: Interactive Exploring Fractions with Shapes
Renee McShane and Linda Alesi have worked together to find quality websites that address each of the five content strands outlined in the NYS Standards. Each grade level, K-6, is organized with a variety of interactive links in Number Sense and Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra, and Statistics. You will notice that the NYS performance indicator is noted next to each link as a reference. At the top of each grade level section you can access multiple Problem Solving websites as well. There are also a great deal of links for teachers to the NYSED website for easy access to NYS assessments, glossaries, and much more! There are even virtual manipulatives to incorporate into math lessons. Please notify Linda Alesi if there are any links that are not working properly. Make note of any other great math websites that you come across so that we can continue to update the links and keep them current. Please note that you can access these math links by content strand across all the grades K-6 or by specific grade level K-6. Either way you use it, we hope it motivates the students to practice their strategies and math concepts in a fun interactive environment. Enjoy!
