Website Worth Sharing: Math Whiteboard
There is a cool site called Math Whiteboard https://www.mathwhiteboard.com/ that provides an easy way to demonstrate math concepts on a computer. If you have an interactive whiteboard, it’s even better because you can use the pens to draw on the whiteboard. This video will give you a quick idea of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSCcGRwVmno
In addition to having tools that convert your writing to equations, there is also a built in number line tool/slider and a way to generate graphs and solve problems. Another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pLpTIxCT78&list=PLWwtTmqjOBP_U9kw4OGWIrDSpCIjqC1uY&index=2
A fun feature is that your students can “join” your whiteboard via a link that you can post in Google Classroom, so you could post a few problems and have small groups generate their answers for all to see. You can also create multiple pages like in Google Slides or PPT so each group could have its own page. If you have worksheets that are in pdf format, you can literally just drag the file onto the page and it will become the background.
To learn more, I recommend this Playlist by “What the Trig” (who has a delightful British accent). They are mostly for secondary level, but the first couple- the overview and number line (also linked above), would be helpful for elementary. These videos are short and to the point, but reveal a lot of tips and tricks that aren’t obvious: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWwtTmqjOBP_U9kw4OGWIrDSpCIjqC1uY
If you want to take a deep dive into this tool, one of my favorite tech integration experts, Eric Curts, has an hour long webinar that was posted to Youtube: https://www.mathwhiteboard.com/whiteboard/?d=SBOKPA
