I am a 6th grade special education teacher of Science, English and Reading in Virginia and am looking for smartboard related activities that related to the Virginia SOL's. If anyone can help me with lessons or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

here is a quick game I use to review graphing ordered pairs on a coordinate plane before teaching graphing equations. The directions are on page 1 of the file, but you can adapt it to suit your needs. More points can be added, etc. How to play: the first student hits start. A random coordinate will appear and they must touch on the board where the point should be. After 11 pairs the round is over . They get a score, then the next tries to beat the score. Scores are based on time and ACCURACY combined. the kids love this.

Hi People...

I have had a SMARTBOARD in my classroom for the last 3 years...and have finally decided that I was going to train myself...since the administration is not doing anything to get me educated....

7th grade math...anyone have any good lessons/activities on:
*Coordinate plane and transformations
*complementary/supplementary angles
*solving one and two step equations
*combining like terms

I would rather not re-create the wheel

please email anything you might like to share to

Thank you much!

Thanks for the great site! Plan on using it in the computer lab this week and creating a "contest" between classes by recording class totals on a bar graph...winning class gets "Rice Crispy" treats on Friday. Have bookmarked it for those times in class I need a quick "filler" activity (not often, but nice to have available)

We do Free Rice on our SMART Board. One student is in front, and the rest of them have little white boards and pens. THey write the answer they think is right on their whiteboards and the student in front has to decide whether to use the others' answer or not. They like this for a while. Like about 15 minutes. At freerice.org you can choose from a number of different subjects so they stay interested for a while. They also like that they are donating rice.

Jessica, do you have an Elmo or a SMART Document camera? If you have a SMART Document camera, all you do is click on the document camera icon in Notebook 10 to see a live image.

If you have an Elmo, see Matt Granger's excellent video tutorial at http://smartboardrevolution.ning.com/video/using-an-elmo-document-c...

Hi Ken,
When I first started "playing" with my SMART Board, the information on the SMART Training Center was very helpful. I also found the SMART Exchange was a great way to explore lessons made by other teachers and post questions. Both sites (and more) can be easily accessed through the Teacher Hub at http://education.smarttech.com/ste/en-US/Ed+Resource/Teachers+Hub/default.htm Hope that helps...
