I think that games are great for school and can be very fun while learning at the same time. I think that getting these students engaged is a big help when using games and maximizing their capabilities.

Many times YouTube is a great source to use for math problems. It can also be a good tool for fun educational videos that can help students understand a concept better as well as making math more fun and interactive for students.

In middle school education some of the things that we did at my middle school was use technology inside the classroom. We got to play games that helped with these skills such as cool math games and other stradegy games that helped the brain work throughout the day.

The math sites I would incorporate in my classroom would be IXL math. This is a great site that is aligned with Arkansas Math Standards.

I am no math whiz by any means, but when I was taking math classes, I took as many notes as possible. But a good website that I used, was Khan Academy. Not only does this website explain what you are learning, it gives great intuitive process on how to solve specific problems you are learning about. I really remember using this website in trigonometry in high school. Worst class ever! Lol!

# data[].attributes.body
Some math sites I would recommend is Khan Academy, IXL, and YouTube. These tools are free to use and I've used them whenever I was taking math classes. Another type of websites I would recommend is Teacherspayteachers and Canva. These are great for getting worksheets that students can complete.

Math is very difficult and it needs a teacher who is thorough and well planned out.

Being a math teacher this was something I had to learn along the way! Sometimes students just aren't mathematically brained, so they need to learn it in different ways. I always found it was best to show them how to do it on paper and then give them different websites that they could practice on over and over again. You know what they say, practice makes perfect.

Something that the students loved to do in my class is Prodigy Math. It's basically a game that to gain health they have to answer math questions. I use it when there is down time or early finishers.

When I was in high school, I had a really hard time with math. My teacher would try and teach it to the best of her ability but she didn't explain it the way I learned. I loved using Khan Academy because not only could I practice problems, but they have videos that explain the subject as well!

I like using mobymax in my classroom. It really breaks everything down into the smallest parts ensuring every aspect of the concept being taught is learned to mastery before moving on.
If a student gets stuck in one area, it will give them a step by step guided lesson with practice questions before allowing them to attempt the assignment again.
If they are still stuck after this guided lesson, it will pause their learning and alert the educator.
The educator can then login and create a virtual classroom for that lesson. Together they can work to ensure the student gets the help they need until they fully understand the assignment.
I use it in the classroom and do guided lessons with my students, so I can also understand what they are teaching, and I use it outside of the classroom for my virtual students. It will auto assign lessons or allow the teacher to pick and choose what they want to assign.

Math is definitely not my strong suit, and Kahn academy was one of my go to sites in my earlier years. It provides videos that really break down math problems and really helps you understand what you are doing. I remember using in 4th-10th grade, and they cover many different types of math problems, and best of all, I do think it is free.

You have put together a very informative padlet. I was actually wondering how often YouTube videos are being used in the classroom. IXL Math is a website that I am going to comeback and visit later to learn more about. Thanks for sharing these resources. ~Joshua

Our school also uses IXL and prodigy is a favorite among the students. Last week I was introduced to a new app (new to me). I believe it was Booklet??? I pulled a game up on the Smart Board and once all the students were logged on, I hit start on the timer. The clock was set for 30 minutes and students competed with each other to earn the most money. When they solved the problems correctly, they earned $$$. They could also borrow money from someone and get ahead. The screen kept a current scoresheet so students could see who was ahead, where place they were, etc. It was fun and I enjoyed watching the children having fun while learning and practicing math. ~Alicia

At our school, we use IXL all the time. It's a great site to help students improve their math skills that a pretty simple to understand. The teacher can assign different lessons that they think are appropriate for the student's targeted skills.

# data[].attributes.body
IXL Math is a great site that is fully aligned to Arkansas math standards. It has different activities to help students improve their math skills. This would be helpful to use as bellwork at the beginning of each class period.

Many of the teachers I have worked with have started shifting towards YouTube channels for students. They will either post their own videos of them walking through PowerPoints or find other math teachers videos that teach the same topic. This is then added to their google classroom under a topic head.
The math group I worked with during my long term sub position utilized Edulastic for quizzing students. With this program we were able to create graphs that would allow students to plot points and create line graphs. I really liked this program, but there is a learning curve on creating the quiz questions

I found a link that might bring interest to you! Math classes at the middle school I am at utilize a program called ST Math and Khan Academy. The provided link gives you a little more insight on some other programs teachers incorporate!

To many of our students, math to them is a foreign language. Just like this picture above, it would look like a lot of gibberish to them.

What are some good math sites as well as techniques that you would use to help your students?
