Maths Resources
Just a reminder of the many sites available for you to locate resources from for your maths lessons and homework tasks.
Mathletics - A quick link to Mathletics for eBooks, resources, demonstrations and assigning differentiated activities.
Once again we have subscribed to Ideal Resources which provides you with hundreds of interactive resources ideal for introducing topics, demonstrating concepts and assigning as independent tasks during rotational group work.
The Interative Maths wiki space has links to interactive games, Smart Notebook files, apps and assessments related to the content. I'm in the process of moving it all over to a weebly site but until then keep using this link.
Maths starters is a great ways to start your Maths lessons by Simon Job. Simon has recently added a new 'umber of the Day' activity.
Nrich is one of my favourite problem solving sites with activities for all Stages. It's had a makeover recently too!
English
The Balanced Literacy Diet
I stumbled across the site when looking for some Super Six comprehension strategy resources. There's a lot of interesting reading and resources available.
The Badger Woods
A nice little persuasive text interactive sourced by Steph Westwood.
Words are CATegorical
A cute little cat themed site to complement your grammar program. Parts of speech quizzes, stories and posters.
Comprehension Resources
Some great Super Six resources coming out of the Adelaide education office. Worth looking around the entire site.
The Reading Lady
Comprehension strategies based on the Super Six. Lots of resources here.
Lizzie Chase's Comprehension Trackers
Lizzie has created some comprehension trackers using the continuum. There are also resources to use for each of the clusters.
Across the Curriculum
For Teachers for Students
This site may have some useful resources or links to resources for you or your students. Made for Teachers by Teachers it contains lesson ideas, units, resource links on all KLAs.
Dart Connections
Don't forget to take a look at the Virtual Excursions on offer at Dart Connections. They often have special events where excursions are free during a particular month so check back regularly.
