 | Free Ride - "This applet allows you to vary the gear ratio of a bike. The distance traveled by a half-pedal is determined by the ratio of gears. Can you capture all five flags on a course?" [site]  http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=178 | ||
| LearnAlberta: Mathematics Glossary - This comprehensive mathematics glossary provides definitions for mathematical terms for grades 1 through 12. The terms are organized by grade and alphabetically. Many definitions provide interactive animations and examples. http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/memg/index.html | ||
| Virtual Manipulatives - Here's an excellent resource for primary/elementary Maths from Glencoe/McGraw-Hill. It's a flash-based set of interactive tools for reception up to year 8. It includes standard maths items, as well as graph paper and other backgrounds. http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/mathematics/ebook_assets/vmf/VMF-Interface.html | ||
| Factors and Remainders - "An interactive animation demonstrating factors and remainders. A number of boxes are arranged into layers too represent a number. Enter numbers into the grey boxes to choose the number and its possible divisor. The result and any remainder are given."

| Verbal Reasoning - Examine the pattern and think through the problem presented. Can you determine the answer? http://www.kidport.com/Grade8/TAL/Reasoning.htm | ||
| LearnAlberta: Exploring Laws of Exponents - "This interactive mathematics resource uses the scenario of a paleontological dig to allow you to explore the laws of exponents." [site| | ||
| LearnAlberta: Exploring Exponents and Scientific Notation - "This interactive activity allows you to sort and then order numbers that are expressed in scientific notation" | ||
| Web Sudoku - Countless sudoku puzzles to complete online. | ||
| Invention at play - Many inventors can see patterns that aren't obvious to others. Changing or manipulating patterns is one way to generate new ideas. Your problem-solving skills will be challenged as you search for each spot for your puzzle piece. http://inventionatplay.org/playhouse_puzzle.html | ||
| Patterns - Identify the next number in the sequence...can you determine the pattern? http://www.kidport.com/Grade7/TAL/Patterns.htm | ||
