Math Games offers a variety of unique games to practice math concepts using problem-solving and logic. These are not your ordinary skill and drill games, but they involve challenging players to explore how to manipulate numbers in new ways. For example, the game of Miniaturization (type into search bar) asks players to reduce the size of cargo items to fit more units into a shipping container efficiently. Other games involve addition and number puzzle activities.

Password Folder allows Windows users to create password-protected folders on their PCs using downloadable software tools. Once downloaded and installed, add a password to protect any folder in three clicks. Begin by selecting the file to download to your device and following the installation and setup directions. Once installed, select any folder and add a password; protected folders turn red and then display a lock icon to indicate they are locked. To open a protected folder, click open as usual and enter the password. Use different passwords for each folder, or select the "One password for all folders" option to lock multiple folders with one password.
In the Classroom
Add Password Folder to your Windows device for many different uses. For example, protect sensitive student files, private data, or financial information. In addition, use a password when sharing files with parents to ensure that only authorized viewers access personal information. Adding a password to folders also provides an extra layer of security if your device is hacked.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

When rolling dice, are you lucky, or are probability and statistics coming into play? This dice game allows players to explore different outcomes when increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls. First, select the number of rolls to begin, then choose the link to roll two dice. Chances displays a graph showing the resulting outcome and a list of all the different combinations rolled.
In the Classroom
Use Chances as an engaging way to introduce students to probability and statistics. Ask them to predict outcomes when completing a small number of dice rolls vs. a larger number. Enhance learning by asking students to conduct their exploration using real dice or virtual dice found at Virtual Manipulatives, reviewed here. Use different amounts of dice as part of the exploration to see how the number of dice affects the different possible outcomes. Graph results using Data Gif Maker, reviewed here, then share the different GIFs created by students or groups. As an extended learning activity, use Sway, reviewed here, to create an interactive lesson that provides a broad range of learning opportunities for students to explore probability and statistics. Options to include are videos, games, and simulations such as those found at PhET, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Google Read Along is an entertaining, interactive website designed to help young children learn to read. This site is currently available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, and Urdu. Though you can use Google Read Along on your computer, the best experience will be by using an Android device. Read Along engages young readers with a friendly character named Diya, who provides assistance and feedback when needed. Students receive immediate feedback by earning stars for each word they read correctly. In addition, Diya will help if children are stuck on a particular word. Gamification makes learning to read fun and engaging! Students earn stars and badges and can level up to more advanced books as they become increasingly better readers. Google Read Along also tracks how many minutes students spend actively reading. A Google account is required, and enable your microphone access for your browser.
In the Classroom
Google Read Along would be a great addition to any preschool or early elementary classroom. Teachers who work with ENL students or adults learning to read may also find this site helpful. Students will gain confidence by practicing reading independently yet still get assistance if needed, all while the teacher can work with individual students or small groups. In addition, many books are cross-curricular, so they can be used to enhance instruction for other core subjects.Comments
