3. ICT gamesCheck out ICT games — lots of math games for kindergarten through grade 3. The games emphasize concepts which I always like.![]() The game topics include counting, addition, subtraction, number facts, odd and even, doubles, more/less, shape and measures, time, place value, multiplication & rounding, and British money. ![]() In it, you use your knowledge of number bonds to 10, but with two-digit numbers: you "jump" from a given number to the next multiple of 10. For example: 32 + ____ = 40. If it is too easy "as is", tick the 'hide jumps' box. |
4. Lesson on budgetingI found a lesson on BUDGETING that some of you might like (PDF file).In it, the student makes a budget in a spreadsheet program (such as Excel) for a girl going to college. First, a simple budget is made, but then it needs refined and amended because of additional expenses. The lesson takes the concept of making a budget step-by-step in a neat way, I feel. :) |
5. Some news about prime numbersThis is a SIMPLE, yet previously unnoticed property of prime numbers... For example, a prime ending in 9 is almost 65 percent more likely to be followed by a prime ending in 1 than another prime ending in 9. Most mathematicians would have assumed that a prime should have an equal chance of being followed by a prime ending in 1, 3, 7 or 9 (the four possible end digits for primes greater than 5). In other words, the distribution of primes doesn't seem to be totally random! Thanks for reading! ![]() Feel free to forward this issue to a friend/colleague! Subscribe here.
