Another feature is a collection of general interest articles written by students in the class. The students have put together their own collection of sites to visit that include math, weather, science, social studies, language arts, and other school home pages. This interesting page is put together by the Grade 5 class at Lt. Col. Barker School of the Dauphin-Ochre School Division, Dauphin Manitoba, Canada. If you are looking for a team approach to problem solving, this site is for you. You can register a team from your school, pair up with a team from another school to solve posted mathematical challenges.
Teams engage in internet dialogues and post an agreed-upon solution to each challenge.
The puzzles have information for classroom use and management as well as worksheets that can be printed. Solutions are given by e-mail request. This site also provides an interesting collection of information on its catalog of math-science activity books, books on mathematics history activities, and teacher workshop information. An on-line discussion area is also accessible, as well as science and math activities from the AIMS Activities Database, which can be downloaded. All Rights Reserved.
