Interactive Math using the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
To contact us Click HERE
The NLVM was one of the first websites I discovered when finding ways to integrate online interactive technology in my math lessons. My 5th graders used the base blocks for decimals as a math center activity. I revisited NLVM recently, and found a new range of tools that are really helpful to classroom teachers.
First some background. The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives provides interactive manipulatives that help kids to understand and practice K-12 math concepts. There are sections for number sense and basic operations, geometry, algebra, measurement, and data analysis & probability. The manipulatives include blocks, geoboards, tangrams, abacus, pentiminoes, triominoes, polyminoes, fractals, and tessellations to name a few.
The NLVM is hosted by Utah State University and is a National Science Foundation project. Mathematicians, classroom teachers, math educators, instructional designers and evaluators across the country have contributed to the development of these manipulatives and lessons.
The new and improved NVLM is called eNLVM, and extends and enhances the virtual manipulatives by incorporating NLVM into lesson modules and activities that correlate to National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards. I prefer the Teacher Published Lessons to the eModule courses. They appear to follow a more logical progression and require fewer explanations.
Free registration provides teachers with additional tools to monitor student performance on the activities. And teachers can develop and collaborate on their own lesson modules. You can also customize existing resources to your own needs.
NLVM tutorials provide more information about using the manipulatives in the classroom, as well as creating lessons and activities.

Take a look at hundreds of other math interactives, many with accompanying lesson plans, on my website in the
LearningReviews.com Math Section.

State GED Requirements

GED Requirements by StateAre you looking for your state's GED requirements, preparation classes, test sites or high school equivalency diploma requirements? I answer several questions each week from teenagers and adults who want to get their GED and diploma.

Below the map are more links that include those for states that offer GED preparation classes online.
The information typically described on a state's GED website includes:
There are some free preparation courses and practice tests that are not tied to a particular state. I've described these on the LearningReviews.com GED listing.
And keep in mind...
You cannot take GED tests online and get a high school diploma. You can only take the GED tests at official GED testing facilities. Valid high school diplomas are only issued by your state.

Learning to Tell Time with Interactive Teaching Clocks
To contact us Click HERE
Kids can now learn to tell time faster and easier with the many free interactive teaching clocks and games on the web. I've seen what a difference 15 minutes on a game makes compared to 15 minutes on a telling time worksheet. Children are more engaged, get much more practice, and a truckload of immediate positive feedback. Their test scores improve and it does wonders for their self-confidence (not to mention the time you save from answering the what-time-is-it questions).
There's a broad variety of clock games for different skill levels. Some are starter clocks where kids practice telling time to the hour. Others teach them to tell time in 30-minute, 15-minute, 5-minute and 1-minute increments. Some games challenge them to calculate lapsed time - a skill some much older students are still trying to master. I've described seven of my favorite on my Squidoo post Interactive Telling Time Games and Clocks. Give them a whirl - remember, it's free. And see if you can get your kid's teacher to toss the telling time worksheets!

MLA Citation Generators - Son of Citation Machine
To contact us Click HERE
The bibliography for a research paper has been the dark underbelly for many K-12 students. Several free online tools available now make writing the bibliography much easier. K-12 students generally must use the MLA style, so the tools I review will focus on MLA citation generators.
The first is Son of Citation Machine, aptly named follow-on to the popular Citation Machine. It is targeted to high school and college students, but I've used it with 5th graders too. In addition to MLA, Son of Citation Machine generates citations in APA, Turabian and Chicago styles. It creates both bibliographic and in-text citations that students can copy and paste into their research papers.
This MLA cite generator is very flexible. It handles all kinds of print media, as well as non-print, such as TV, radio, films and web-based resources of all kinds. Among the MLA citation makers I've used, it's one of the few with an ISBN lookup that autofills the required information.
Another nice feature is its toolbar link. Add the link to your browser, to make it easier for students to scour the web for resources. When they come to a page they will use in their research paper, they click on the link and it will autofill the bibliography info from the webpage - great time saver.
For more research tools for K-12 students, including some of the best readable resources for students under 12, read my reviews at Kids Research Websites.
