Website

Clip to ScrapBook   
My reason for mentioning the website was to provide background for that grade level and a sample lesson that would key into what parts of the curriculum was studied in the unit. It wasn't to use the website verbatim as the
actual lesson plan. Probability and algebra are pretty broad topics. It is always helpful to know what the text has expected so you know their prior experiences, especially in a demo. It wasn't to conform to what was already there. I also think that the use of technology is a big thing in our district. To be able to show that you can find resources that link to their material technologically
is valuable, too.I also find that just because the website is there, doesn't mean that the teacher/students necessarily utilize it. Our book is Scott Foresman, and it is totally online for the kids, as are related games and e-tools. When polling the kids, very few actually go on line to use it. They and their parents can't be bothered to find the time.
