Free Technology Resources to Engage the CCSS Beth Vinson & Dawn Bauer Denver Public Schools

Session Objective  During this session you will learn about and experience many online activities that will help students deepen conceptual understanding of CCSS.

DPS and DU Partnership  During the school year DPS and DU worked together to create a Math and Science Leadership Cadre. This team met several times throughout the year to discuss and learn more about the instructional shifts necessary to implement the CCSS in mathematics properly.  Last summer, we came together to review free online resources and here are some of our favorites.

Why use technology? Beginning in 2014, our statewide assessments for math will all be done online. The PARCC assessment will require that all students are proficient in manipulating number lines, fraction bars, array models, and text boxes. In order to prepare our students for these assessments and real life, we need to be using technology as often as we can.

 The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) is an NSF supported project that began in 1999 to develop a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (K- 12 emphasis). The project includes dissemination and extensive internal and external evaluation.  Many of the activities here allow us to use manipulatives without actually having these items in the classroom.
