| Fractions |
- Students can practice finding equivalent
fractions with this FunBrain game.
- Use this funbrain game to practice addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and whole
numbers.
- Fraction Game Single player game
- Fraction Track game for two players (similar to Fraction Game)
- This applet allows you to model fractions and then shows the decimal and percent equivalent.
- This web site uses pattern blocks to create designs. Works really well with 3rd grade lessons 3-30 and 3-35.

- Find area of polygons by decomposing shapes at this web site.Learn the relationship between perimeter and area. A shape will be automatically generated with the perimeter that you choose.
- Calculate the area of this shape. You can choose only rectangular shapes or you can work with polygons that need to be decomposed to find their area.
- Calculate the area of a triangle drawn on a grid. Learn about areas of triangles and about the Cartesian coordinate system.
- A video about how to find the area of a triangle.
- A video about how to find the area of a trapezoid.
|
| Area and Perimeter |
- Funbrain, several levels of
difficulty; calculate the perimeter and/or area; how to find area and perimeter
and example are also included on the game page
- .Find the area and perimeter of rectangles. Begins with a mini-lesson and then students manipulate a ruler to measure rectangles and then calculate the perimeter and area. This is a self-checking activity.
- A movie demonstrating the difference between area and perimeter; also
demonstrates that shapes with the same area can have a different perimeter.
- This site helps students find area and perimeter of non-rectangular shapes.
- This is a mini-lesson on area and perimeter; students learn how to find
perimeter and then get to try a few problems on their own.
- Use this applet to create rectangles
of various perimeters and area.

| Geometric Terms, Vocabulary |
- Students match geometric terms with pictures at this site
to uncover a hidden picture.
- Students compete against the clock to match geometric terms with
pictures at this site
to play MATHO.

| Measuring Length |
|
| Perimeter |
- Adam Ant demonstrates how to find the perimeter of a rectangle and students
fill in the answer before progressing to the next problem.
- Students count units to determine the perimeter; shapes are irregular and
students can choose the area.
- Practice finding the perimeter of squares given the length of one side.
- Practice finding the perimeter of rectangles given the length and width.
|
| Angles |
- Students take a quiz identifying types of angles as this web
site.
- This web
site offers a tutorial on angles and how to use a protractor.
Click on skip intro and then choose lesson 16. The site has a
virtual protractor that can be used to measure angles and create
angles given in the tutorial (this is a very nicely done web
site).

| Symmetry |
- Check out this web site for flag symmetry.
- This web site has some neat symmetry illustrations and links. Be sure to check
it out before using it with students!

Mean, Median, Mode |
- This web
site offers a tutorial and practice with range, mean, median,
and mode.
|
| Probability |
- This web
site offers a tutorial for students about probability and the language
used.
- Your students may find this interactive probability lesson helpful.
- This web site contains a generator for rolling a die and if you put
in the number of times you want to roll the dice, it graphs the results
of an experiment.
- This is a cute game for determining the probability of an event.
|
| Graphing |
- This web site allows students to gather data in a table and then pick
a circle/pie chart that matches the gathered data. (Great standardized
test questions).
