Grades: [Grades Pre-K-2] [Grades 3-5] [Grades 6-8] [Grades 9-12]

What it is:
Illuminations Resources for Teaching Math is a gold mine of interactive activities for the math classroom. The site has over 100 interactive math activities for teaching and practicing math in kindergarten through twelfth grades. These are high quality games, interactives, and simulations for the math classroom. You are sure to find something to use in your math class that will increase understanding!

How to integrate Illuminations Resources for Teaching Math into the classroom: This site is ideal for use with an interactive whiteboard in the math classroom. The activities help students understand concepts that can be difficult by inviting them to interact with the concept. If you don’t have access to an interactive whiteboard, you can demonstrate math concepts from a teacher computer connected to a projector. Students can practice and interact with concepts on classroom computers set up as a math center or individually in the computer lab setting.

Tips: To narrow the list of activities, choose a grade level to narrow activity results.
