Algebra Balance Scales - Negatives

Discipline: Mathematics
Grade level: 9-12
Web Site Address: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_324_g_4_t_2.html?open=instructions&from=category_g_4_t_2.html
Description: This is software designed for producing a Balance Scale manipulative for learning algebraic equations involving negatives. You interact with the software by selecting and moving boxes (Xs and 1s) and balloons (-Xs and -1s). The software gives feedback by keeping the beam balanced or unbalanced; depending on the values you place on the balance. The program also walks you through the steps and shows you when you find the value of X. (Jonathan Minor)

Essentially, students are able to conceptualize the reason behind certain operations in balancing an equation. You may relate this to the color in the balloons (i.e. red for negative), and having to place the exact same object on either side of the balance scale (the old math cliche, "what you do on one side of the equation you must do to the other"). The rationale behind this activity is that of different intelligences (Howard Gardner). I believe this is particularly good for students who are visual learners.

Discipline: Algebra

Website: http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/games/kp/kp_hotmath_sound.swf

It has cute graphics and even some silly music. When you correctly input the equation of a line, the cockroach is killed with the weapon of choice and the crowd applauds. Kill the cockroaches using y=mx + b. Students can use their knowledge of equations of straight lines and their weapon of choice (my favorite is the shoe, it’s so satisfying) to kill the cockroaches moving along a straight line on the graph. The game provides students with hints and gives a few redos if they get it wrong. A great way to practice and understand the use of slope and y-intercept when graphing linear equations.

8. Fun Brain Disciplines- Math and Reading Grade Levels- First Grade to Eighth Grade Website Address- www.funbrain.com Description- This site was very entertaining for me. There were lessons on math and reading through

                    games. For each game it allows the student to give his/her gender and what grade level
                    they are, so the activity matches their level. For instance, if you pick grade level one, 
                    the site will choose an activity that has to do with adding for the student since that is 
                   what he/she should be learning. The activities are cool because the student needs to pass 
                   the activity given in order to move onto another game. The reading link provides students 
                   with a few books they can actually read on the site like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They 
                   can choose which pages they want to read and jump around. It would have been nice to 
                   have an audio option, but it does not. The reading link also allows students to do Mad Libs
                   which helps them to practice using nouns, verbs and adjectives. The outcome is a silly
                   story for the students to enjoy. The Mad Libs are nice because it gives students an option 
                   to choose from lists of nouns, verbs and adjectives provided or the student can type in their
                   own response. Other fun games are provided where students learn how to follow 
                   directions. It is a very colorful and easy to maneuver site. The site allows students to learn 
                   through games. (Grace Hong)

Math Playground
Discipline: Mathematics
Grade Levels: K-8
'Web Site Address: www.mathplayground.com
Description: The title of this web site is misleading. It is not a fun playground, but more of a busy, confusing web page. It is difficult to navigate around the site--it should be more accessible, especially as it is a website for kids. The site lacks color and personality, and is therefore less appealing to students who would want to become exited about learning math. The site does have a great word problems section that is interactive and fun. However, it does not explicitly state when you have completed a word problem correctly, but only does so when you are wrong. The site definitely needs some work, but has a good foundation for doing math online. (Katherine Warner)

This site is very easy to navigate.  It only covers four academic disciplines so it is not overwhelming.  The site has big tabs and the information is organized in a neat and easy way.  It has worksheets, games, study tools, tutorials, spelling, reader, and store.  The worksheets section did not seem to include any on science.  The Games section seemed to only have Math, English, Fun Games, and weekend games.  The study tools were pretty cool and interactive.  The tutorials seem to be just like notes of key information.  The spelling section broke down spelling into activities and tasks to help become a better speller.  The reading section broke books down by grade level and recommends some. The store is where you can buy materials (mostly books) and they are arranged by grade level for Pre-K through 5th, then 6-8th, and then high school level.  This site also recommends books up to the college reading level.  The one bad thing about this site is that is says you cannot print or reproduce anything from the site for any reason. The interactive stuff is goof for students though. Some of the games are fun, but one verb game had 60 sentences before it came to the end. Students might not be able to hold their interest that long on verbs.
