Mister Teacher gives students and teachers interactive web-based learning activities and mini-movies for SmartBoard use.

What is a SmartBoard mini-movie?

A SmartBoard mini-movie is a simple (most involve only a click of the mouse), interactive animation that teachers can download and add to their galleries. From there, the movies can be inserted into their SMART Notebook presentations. Each mini-movie is a dynamic Flash file, similar to the same files that are already included in SMART Notebook's resources.

How can mini-movies improve my SMARTBoard activities and lessons?

Use mini-movies to make subjects like geometry and motion come alive. Capture the attention of learners by using animation to teach standards-based concepts. Draw on the movies and click the buttons to give students instant feedback!

Here are some of the mini-movies available. Click the link at the top to visit site!

• This Number Line is a selection from a list of available templates for download offered by New Zealand Maths. Fractional Number Lines, Game Boards, and masters for activities and practice worksheets are included in the template list. Also, the site shares Exemplars for Math listed by level with rubrics that are matched with Curriculum Units (focused on lessons teaching toward Exemplars). The Guides for each topic include worksheets. NOTE: While, the PROPERTIES OF OPERATIONS lesson is a 3 LEVEL, the algebra and number sense skills are challenging. Looking back at 2 LEVEL explores spatial and visual patterning practice relating to all upper grade algebra objectives. The GEOMETRY TRANSFORMATIONS guide continues the matching exemplar and format includes unique and developmental lessons. Look for the detailed teacher questioning scripts.

SMARTBoard TOOLBOX

Pin It To quote Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, " Start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start!"


Subtraction is essentially the beginning of WORKING BACKWARDS! Just think NUMBER LINE!

I've started on SMARTBoard files for problem solving. The house stands for the FACT FAMILY. I teach the components with a story that ends with a chant: Window plus Window equals Door. Door minus window equals window. I also add hand motions as I move around the house while chanting. The key word and operation symbol are added to the roof. (On the SMARTBoard, the two windows combine to cover the same space as the door!) More on the introductory lesson later!




The screen shots show several of the templates I'm developing to teach "drawing" components for word problems. Here are several features to look for:

• Large Format
• Pull Tabs for Solutions or Further Explanation
• Math Thinking (suitable for repeated readings)
• Focused on Problem Solving Skills (i.e., MAKE A TABLE, WORK BACKWARDS, etc.)
• Standardized colors and shapes for individual elements of word problems. For instance, the key words are highlighted with blue matching the operation symbols in the equation.
  

After each sample question (SCREEN SHOTS), I'm going to create 10 practice problems with interactive features for the SMARTBoard lesson. Finally, I'll make a Senteo quiz with a printable student handout.
