Computing Technology for Mathematics Excellence

Below is a website that was shared with me recently by a Math Goddess!

http://www.ct4me.net/


It's an excellent site loaded with links different types of elementary math lessons, applets and projects. 


There's a great page on manipulatives and the role virtual manipulatives play in the mathematics classroom:

In addition, here's a link to a great article by Douglas H. Clements: 


Concrete Manipulatives', Concrete Ideas. http://gse.buffalo.edu/org/buildingblocks/Newsletters/Concrete_Yelland.htm 


There are parts in this article, particularly regarding the role of the teacher in planning and implementing programs that embed virtual manipulatives, that you might find interesting.


I would love to hear your thoughts about the contents of these articles and your work with virtual manipulatives.
