Smartboard Friendly Clock

This educational website does a great job with it's analog and digital clock.  You can change the clock to real time.  You can roll a dice to get a random time on the clock.  You can actually change the mode and use the clock's hands to demonstrate angles and fractions.  The clock's style and color can also be changed. You can also change the style of the tick marks that go around the clock which makes it easier for students to view, when you are demonstrating different times.  

Smartboard Friendly Elapsed Time Clocks

This website provides great student whiteboard activities for elapsed time.  There are two clocks that are completely changeable so that you can ask students what the elapsed time is.  I use the dice frequently because it provides completely random times.  You can hide one clock  and then give how many hours before or after that specific time and now your students have to either draw the time they calculate it to be and then unhide the clock so students can verify their calculations.  

Snowmen Catching Snowflake AB Patterns 1st Grade

This AB patterns worksheet also comes with an accompanying Smart Notebook section. As a teacher, you can either have the students discover AB patterns as a whole group lesson using your interactive whiteboard, or you can reinforce their ability of AB patterns using the worksheet. Students will also get to cut out and glue the snowflakes onto the worksheet as an activity. There are also a few extra snowflakes they can cut out and create a necklace with if you would like to do an extension activity. This worksheet is great during the winter months.

Student Create Shapes on Digital Geoboard

I use this digital geoboard with my 3rd grade students when teaching shapes.  I have students do their best to create, 2d shapes like triangles, right triangles, pentagon, hexagon, octogon, kite, square, rhombus, and rectangles.  When we are done with learning the shapes, students create their own image on the geoboard.  There are many variables that students and teachers can use when creating their shapes like, rubber band color, size of geoboard, add grid, fill in each shape to count area and perimeter, and add text.  Once finished you cna click the share button to gen

Summer Fun is Near Graphing Activity

This is a two-page document. The first page tells a short story and students will graph the numbers in the story. Students will then answer three questions, two of which help them interpret the results. The second page is a movement activity in which students will first draw depictions of their four favorite summertime activities and then they will go around the classroom asking their classmates which one of the four they like best. They can use tally marks to keep track. Lastly, the students will create a bar graph of the results and then answer two questions analyzing their data.
