[|Fractions, Decimals, Percentage--Oswego City School District --study zone] Stacey Pellegrino - Week 5
 * A fun interactive website for reinforcing fractions, decimals, and percentage relationships. **

This website has techniques, tips and secrets used my teachers to help students learn and master their times tables. There are games, pictures, stories, activites and many resouces to help on this interactive website. [] - Becket Jadush WEEK 2

This website has great vocabulary definitions with pictures and interactive components. The best part is that you can also use it with your students because it has various grade levels! http://www.ronblond.com/MathGlossary/ Jennifer (Butts) Susko- Week 4

www.algebra.com This website allows you to plug in a problem and receive your answer with a step by step explanation. In addition, there are many other Algebra related resources. ~Erin Kozlowski

The following website has a sequence activity that would be useful for students that a working with determining patterns in algebra and writing rules for n. This would be most useful as for supplementary work, work for learning centers or with students working in pairs. This site also has more challenge activities that deal with finding patterns called triangle puzzles and the circle puzzle. These would be good activities for enrichment. http://www.gamequarium.com/algebrapatterns.html Maureen Leidinger W#4

This following website goes to interactive activities fro LCM, GCF, multiples, rational and irrational numbers and a virtual factor tree. The virtual factor tree is the site I liked the best because it has a number and you input factors and then it breaks down to the next level of the factor tree. This URL would be appropriate for middle level math and the factor tree would work really well as supplemental practice or to introduce factor trees using a white board. http://www.sjfschool.net/math8/ch7.htm Maureen Leidinger W # 3

**Website URL**: http://www.kidsnumbers.com/turkey-terminator-math-game.php **Summary of Site Content:** The  Turkey Terminator Fraction Game is      a fast paced and exciting game for practicing fractions. Students are shown a picture of a pie and are asked, how much of the pie is left? Students enter the amount, and then use the pies to hit the turkey as they try to escape. They use the mouse to move the oven mitten and use the left mouse button to shoot pies at turkeys. If they run out of pies, they must answer a fraction question to reload. Students try to beat their score each time by practicing their fractions. Trying to beat your score each time will motivate students to keep playing, reinforcing their mathematical skills. (Grade 3/4) Mallory Zoeller

This Figure This! Activity illustrates how to use, and discover, a pattern to determine the next figure in the succession of figures. The activity starts with a solid white triangle. The midpoints of the sides of the triangle are connected to create a solid black triangle in the center of the white triangle. The pattern that is discovered is to be used to determine the perimeters of the white triangles in each figure, along with the way that figures four and five should look, because they are not given. The “Getting Started” section suggests to use a table to determine the pattern. The answer section follows through with the idea of the table and shows the correct answer. This would be a good starting or follow up problem for a lesson on patterns. There are also other interesting facts through the "Think About This" and "Did You Know" sections. [] ~ DANA COOPER ======

// **Commutative Property** // // The commuting distance is the same in either direction, from home to work or work to home. // // The [|Commutative Property] tells us that: a + b = b + a or a × b = b × a // To associate with people is to group up with them. The [|Associative Property] are about grouping: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c), or (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) To distribute something is to give it to everyone.
