Catrina McHugh's List: COOL TOOLS

An interactive whiteboard resource to facilitate lessons involving the investigation of pentominoes. One of each of the 12 different types of pentomino appear on the grid. Each pentomino can be rotated and flipped. A guide grid for each of the rectangles that can be filled with pentominoes can also be toggled.

The dominoes can be manipulated by dragging, dropping and rotating. Clicking on the puzzles button brings up one of two puzzles that can be demonstrated using this resource. Both of these puzzles are available in printed form below. All are worded in the original, rather fatherly tones, of the original writer. Also available is a sheet of printable dominoes to allow students to work individually on the two puzzles. The puzzle will be easier to do using printed or real dominoes than on the computer but the IWB is useful for demonstrational purposes

True 3D dice to use on your interactive whiteboard. Select to display one, two or three dice on screen. Click ‘Roll’ for them to roll.

Useful in probability lessons and at any other time when a random choice needs to be made.

A compilation of useful Flash resources to support whole class teaching. There is a great interactive number line, a resource for sequencing numbers and more

SO many amazing tools in here!!

Need a pentagonal pyramid that's six inches tall? Or a number line that goes from ‑18 to 32 by 5's? Or a set of pattern blocks where all shapes have one-inch sides? You can create all those things and more with the Dynamic Paper tool. Place the images you want, then export it as a PDF activity sheet for your students or as a JPEG image for use in other applications or on the web.
