Kindergarten

  1. "Explore Concepts of Time"
    1. Activities by GLCE:Measurement
      A website is designed to provide math links for students, guidance for parents, and standards based resources for teachers. You can find resources by the GLCE. Mr. Maffesoli compiled all of the links contained in this site. The linked sites themselves were created by other individuals and organizations.
    2. Clockwise BBC Education
      At this site, students can manipulate an analog clock to show the specified time. There is the digital clock that reads the time that the analog clock shows as it is being manipulated. Therefore, the students have a way of checking their work as they are working.
    3. Houghton Mifflin Mathematics
      As a mathematics book company, Houghton Mifflin offers help to teachers on line with introducing and developing concepts in the areas of time and calendar. These are lesson plans that can be of beneficial help to a teacher who needs a more concrete idea of how to present these two items to a kindergarten classroom.
    4. Kindergarten Time Telling Activity
      The idea behind the site was to provide free online educational games for young kids. Not only to teach colors, shapes and animal names, but also to teach young users the basics of how to use a computer (such as using a mouse).
    5. Math is Fun
      This is a teacher resource as well as an activity for students. This gives ideas and wording possiblities for teacher presentations/lessons. As well, it allows students to manipulate clocks, both analog and digital to show a desired time in both manners.
    6. Snapdragon Tell the Time
      Children manipulate the hands on a clock to tell time. Dragon pops up to indicate correct answers.
  2. "Explore Other Measurement Attributes"
    1. Activities by GLCE:Measurement
      A website is designed to provide math links for students, guidance for parents, and standards based resources for teachers. You can find resources by the GLCE. Mr. Maffesoli compiled all of the links contained in this site. The linked sites themselves were created by other individuals and organizations.
    2. Bathroom Tiles
      This interactive site allows students the chance to practice estimating measurements of angles.
    3. Change Maker Game
      Outstanding - Students make change and add their money to a piggy bank. They can select the level of difficulty from amounts less than $1.00 to amounts over $100.00. A tally board keeps the number of correct answers. This is a student activity.
    4. Funbrain Change Maker Game
      Outstanding - Interactive game which asks to give the amount of coins that represent change for $1.00 or $100.00. Graphics are lifelike. (Grades 2-4)
    5. Funbrain Shape Surveyor Geometry Game
      Outstanding - This is an interactive game. You are on an archeological dig and have to solve problems as you dig. The student calculates the perimeter or area of a given figure. They are able to select from a variety of difficulty levels. This is a student activity.
    6. Geometry and Measurement
      This is an interactive site that has activities for K-5 that include measuring angles, working with symmetry, teaching measures, and how much is it?
    7. Judge and Jury
      Students explore non-standard units and compare relative sizes of "steps" in this activity.  They determine how the size of each type of step is important to how many steps it takes to measure an object.
    8. Money Experience For Kids!
      Outstanding - This site allows three types of games: (It ranges form grade 2 to higher elementary) Making Change - It tells how many of what denomination are required to make a given amount. Spending Money - The student is given a specific amount of cash and presented with a list of items. Their job is to buy things until they have less than $1.00 left. They must not overspend. Piggy Bank Break-in - Add up the money by denomination and determine the total. This is a student activity.
    9. Mrs. Glosser's Math Goodies
      This is an interactive site that provides students with the opportunity to practice finding the area of polygons. The site first reviews what polygons (squares, rectangles) are and shows students the formula for finding area (LxW). The site then gives students problems to solve on their own. This is a student activity.
    10. PBS Kids: Cyberchase
      Students choose from 3 different pots to fill a given container in the game "Can You Fill It?".  Using estimation, students try to fill the container in the least amount of tries without spilling over.  This activity would help students to recognize changes in volume.
    11. PBS Kids: Cyberchase
      Students print a "wacky ruler" and a page of worms.  Using the wacky ruler, (which is missing some numbers,) students measure each of the  worms.  Students can check their answers on the site.  To conclude the activity, students could explain their strategy.
    12. Shape Surveyor
      This is a very fun and exciting interactive site. It allows the children to choose their level of difficulty from easy, medium, to hard. There is a choice to compute perimeter, area, or both. It is immediate self-checking and supplies the correct answer. This site is a student activity.
    13. Shape & Space in Geometry
      This site provides students with the opportunity to investigate the relationship between the length of a diagonal of a square and one of its sides.
