COMMENT SOME APPLICATIONS:

Now I’d like to highlight the most interesting tools among those I have shown to you in my LINO presentation.

1. MANGA HIGH

We all know how addicts teenagers are to online gaming. With this tool we can encourage our students to learn Maths doing something that they love, playing. My favourite one is “Algebra Meltdown”, where the fate of the world only depends on the speed of the student’s algebra skills. My strategy would be to tell him that at the end of the lesson they are going to play a game in relation to algebra for example, and the three best players will obtain some marks for the final exam. Despite the cute manga theme, this is a really serious maths learning site, and we also can find several resources and lesson plans.

2. DAILY NUMBERS: A DAILY MATH SKILL REINFORCEMENT ACTIVITY.

This is a lesson plan for whiteboards that we can use daily to reinforce maths skills. Using this methodology we can show students a more attractive way to practice the concepts explained previously. In addition, learners not only experience maths success on a daily basis, but also receive daily reinforcement in a wide variety of maths skills. And lastly, they achieve higher scores on state-wide tests.

3. NUCLEAR ENERGY

In this site you can find several science plan lessons for printing easily. It is divided in five units in relation to nuclear energy that can be taught in the classroom. In every unit it is explained the objectives. It also offers a variety of exercises and more resources.

4. ONLINE CALCULATOR

This a free online calculator for computers with which students will be able to perform not only simple arithmetic calculations and perform basic commands but also calculate the square root, work with trigonometric functions, perform scientific calculations, raise a number to a power, etc.

And the best thing is that learners can do all these operations without the needed of buying an expensive calculator.

5. POLLUTION

This is a really interesting e-book that can be used in the classroom for explaining in detail some concepts. So as a teacher, I can demonstrate my students the most important pages of the e-book with the content I want them to know.
