With so many math websites out there I like to get the students involved in reviewing & discussing the metacognition behind them. I also like the idea of having students expose me to lots of websites so I can see how they intereract with them and make judgements on the site’s educational worth. Some would say that this is, ‘working smarter not harder’.
Tonight I’ve refined my math website review task. I’ve put together a collection of questions that I get children to reflect on. They then present the website to the class with a demonstration of the site’s features & their opinions. I’ve also added a few Math site collections that should give you a bit of scope when selecting sites to review.
I’ve made the review proforma available as a Word document so you can download it easily and have the kids can type directly into it. Should save everyone a bit of time.
Bring on the Website Review Activity
Cheers
Adrian
