Base Ten Blocks at CoolMath

Base Ten Blocks at CoolMath

CoolMath – an old, familiar math website has recently launnched a set of virtual manipulatives including a nice interface for base-ten blocks. Becuase they are just rolling this content out now, the number of manipulatives is limited to the base ten blocks, a numberline, patterrn blocks and ten frames.  However, CoolMath has been a resource for teachers for many years now, and we can likely expect the virtual manipulative resources to continue to grow!

NaNoWriMo for Young People

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, empowering approach to creative writing. The challenge: draft an entire novel in just one month. For 30 wild, exciting, surprising days, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!

NaNoWriMo only collects first names of student users and birthdates (for the purposes of protection and security) and NEVER asks for last names. Students use a screen (user) name and can upload an avatar to personalize their experience.
