YAY! No More Flying Elastics! Free App!

First, I want to give a shout out to my colleague Andrea who pointed out this app to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We've been working on 2D Geometry and geoboards are a great way to allow students to explore the properties of 2D geometry on their own.  While using the elastics they are developing a sense of how they can manipulate the shapes and they will have better recall of how to create those shapes. When it comes to math (and most other subjects) I truly believe that hands ...

They are pretty super hero obsessed so they decided to call themselves the "Energy ... Read the Post

Classroom Art ideas for the Holidays
