Web applications for Math and Science

I looked through the web applications while keeping my 4th grade class in mind.
The Build a Prairie fits perfectly into their curriculum, as they are learning about habitats. The link to this is www.bellmuseum.org/distancelearning/prairie/build/ This would cover Standard 5 in Science

I found the perfect site for 4th grade math: http://www.uen.org/3-6interactives/math.shtml
This math site covers all standards that are required for 4th grade math.

In my 4th grade team the teachers teach a unit, test, and then do remediation for those who did not get 90% or above and then test those students again. I think that these two websites have games that would be great to have the 90% and above kids play while the others are being tested.

  1. I thought the prairie application was also very interesting. I loved how it always provided link to learn more and gave simple explanations as to why certain things work while others didn't.

  2. I agree that providing extra fun learning time would be a great use of time for the students that have already learned the things on the games. It would also be a great review and help them to truly apply that knowledge.

  3. I like the idea of using the games for the kids that didn't quite get the concept the first time.

  4. I like that you are thinking of ways to keep all of your diverse learners engaged. These links seem like they would be a great way for students to review what they have learned and to stay engaged in something rather than exploring the web on their own.
