I put a request on the ‘Teaching with Technology’ bulletin a few weeks ago but as I am checking on this site I thought I might retrieve more feed back here. I am teaching a small group- 6, 7th and 8th grade students, who have a range of disabilities : LD, ED, Multi, but none severe. I am really interested in finding interactive math sites, practice sites or teacher supported sites that utilize the Internet. Our students have received ibooks w/ internet access this year and I am trying to compile a WEBQUEST for a graduate level course also. I am going to be presenting my findings in early Decemeber . I have found a few so far. If you reply and are interested in the final product, include your address and I will gladly forward the final product. Thanks in advance.
Re: Math and Technology
I have two websites that may help you. http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/HotSubjects_fractions.html and http://www.mathforum.com.org. I hope these will help you.

Re: Math and Technology
Right now I am in our computer lab and working with kids, math and technology. We are using Funbrain.com and in the middle section of the home screen (mainly math games). They like the tic-tac-toe game (everything from simple addition on up) and the Bunny Count game (compares your set of pictures with another one - works on 1:1 correspondence). Hope this site helps. Attainment Company has a good demo download for making change, doing simple addition problems, etc. They will send you a demo disk if you request it. Have a great day!
Re: Math and Technology
Visit http://www.math911.com and http://www.themathprof.com
The first is offering Mathematics Software Grants.
Well, I’ve got times tables stuff on my site (http://www.resourceroom.net — see “math” ) and in the links section there are a few other links. I would love to see some materials that present the math concepts more concretely and visually (so that division could be *seen* — so that the concept that you can’t add fractions with different denominaotrs would at least have a chance of making sense…)
