Have a wonderful summer break!!
My project for this summer is to create new PowerPoints for our new math textbooks. We have adopted Holt Mathematics (Course 2: Pre-Algebra) and we are excited about the technology they offer. I am going to go chapter by chapter and reorganize the old PowerPoints and projects and add new ones as they are created. If you have any suggestions or see any typo's (I am really good at these) please let me know.

TeacherTube
http://www.teachertube.com/ . This works at school (unlike youtube) and there are tons of cool videos to use for math. This is a great one from the beginning of the year http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=6aaecda27aba8e990399 .
Tests
New ones will be posted as they are created through the year.

Middle School Math Project: (EETT Grant)
We (the seventh grade math team) are using technology in our math classrooms to improve student learning and conceptual understanding of mathematics. As part of our grant we purchased Qwizdoms, Interwrite Pads, Laptop computers, and LCD projectors. We are using United Streaming, Brain Pop, MicroSoft Office as well as other online resources. We use the California Standards and Holt Mathematics: Book 2 as our main resources. Our team is working together to create fun and interactive activities in our classrooms to engage students. We are excited to share our progress and setbacks with other interested teachers. Our API is 730 (up almost 30 points from last year) and our school rank is 6 state-wide (up one from last year) and 8 in simular school (up 2 from last year). See California Test Results for more information.
We are developing technology activities for each chapter in the Holt Mathematics: Book 2 for 7th grade math. Our standards are at California Math Standards Grade 7 .
All PowerPoint's will be available on this web site and movies can be accessed throughUnited Streaming.
I will update this site as we progress through the year.
