Gizmos
What are Gizmos?
They are online simulations that help students make sense of challenging mathematical and scientific concepts through inquiry and exploration. Students can manipulate variables and do investigations which can add another dimension to the learning experience. These opportunities can further engage students and provide authentic opportunities to further enhance the development of mathematic and scientific language development. Gizmos are aligned with Ontario curriculum expectations and easily searchable by a number of different filters such as grade, subject and expectation. The exploration guides that go with the Gizmos provide questions which help to provide opportunity for deeper thinking and support student-centered learning.
