Online Tools Analysis

ToolLinkGrade RangePossible UsesProsConsFirst People’s LinksMy experienceOverall review
YouCubedhttps://www.youcubed.org/k-12Rich tasksMath gamesMath mindset ideas and activitiesSharing information with parentsSupplement to the Mathematical Mindsets booksOpening conversation on new or review topicsEncouraging students to think critically and creatively about mathActivities encourage collaborative learningNo cost
Open ended problems and tasks to encourage thinking
Does not require students to have devices
Math mindset videos encourage growth mind sent and show math specific things in a very approachable wayThe Week of Inspirational Math is a great way to kick off the year positively
Not BC curriculum linkedLack of first people’s content
Most activities are off line and can not be shared digitally to students
No links to content
Support some principals
Learning takes patience and time
Learning is relational
Regular user – I use tasks from Jo Boaler at least once a week weather from YouCubed or her Mindset Mathematics BooksThis is something I will continue to use regularly. The tasks are engaging and work well with the Building Thinking Classrooms approach I am using. Students are engaged in the tasks The videos for students and parents give excellent explanation of what is truly important.
Kahoothttps://kahoot.com/schools-u/k-12Formative assessment and quizzes Teachers can create their own quizzes
Some pre created quizzes and questionsNo student accounts FOIPPA compliant
Gets competitiveCost for use of most featuresEach student needs a device  Up to how the teacher sets it upUse  occasionallyI use Kahoot a few times a year. I’m not a fan of it with my grade 4s because it often becomes overly compeititaitve and is not supporting or SEL goals and development of good sportsmanship. While this is not every student the 2 or 3 that struggle with sportsmanship often ruin it for everyone.
Khan academyhttps://www.khanacademy.org/2-universityIndependent practiceRemote learningVideos are good for remote learning or for sharing in our class team to help students remember what to do.FreeNo adsSelf pacedLots of practiceVisualsVideo supportsNot yet approved in my districtMay not be FOIPPA compliantInformation stored on US serversNot BC curriculum basedNo visible connectionsHeard of but haven’t usedIn trying the student activities I found it to be similar to the existing Mathletics program my school is using. What intrigues me are Khan’s videos explaining various concepts
Weeblyhttps://www.weebly.com/caTeacher useBlog platformAppears easy to useGood for sharing information with famliesFreeEasy to editDrag and drop blocks to lay out pagesTemplates available to set up your pagesNot FOIPPA compliantTeacher has to do all of the posts  Can be integrated depending on how the teacher chooses to use it.Heard of but haven’t usedWeebly looks like a good website creator for those who are unfamiliar with web design. It is similar to Word Press. I will continue to use WordPress as I have had a WordPress site with my domain name since December of 2014. Weebly is something I would recommend to a co-worker who is brand-new to creating websites.
Small numberhttp://www.sfu.ca/mathcatcher/MeetSmallNumber.htmlk-4Number talksRich problem solvingAuthentic incorporation of first peoples perspective into math.BC Curriculum linkedIndigenous contentStory basedMath problem at the end of the storiesIntroduction is repetitive between videosLack of diagram for each problemLearning is based in storyLearning is generationalBrand new to meI would use this in my classroom to introduce problems and try different methods of problem solving. These would be a good intro to a rich task. I would take the time to write out the questions a head of time so that I could project the problem on the smart board for students to see.
