PowerPoint Stuff
Microsoft PowerPoint is more than just presentation software! Use this versatile program to create virtual math manipulatives for use with a digital projector, math and language arts activities, accessible activities for students with disabilities, and more!
PowerPoint Videos
Check out these videos before using the Virtual Manipulatives below. Learn how to setup the PowerPoint environment to maximize its effectiveness and discover how create and manipulate objects.
Virtual Manipulatives
Demonstrating concepts using manipulatives before a large class can be very challenging. Use these virtual manipulatives with a digital projector to create an engaging math lesson for your class. From base-ten materials to pattern blocks, these objects are easily created and manipulated to demonstrate math concepts.
Math Activities
Find a list of suggested activities using PowerPoint to demonstrate a variety of math concepts. Combine the activities and easily add new slides to create practice activities for your students. Students can save their work and collect their finished activities to create an electronic portfolio.
In Progress Activities
These activities are ones that I am currently working on and have not sorted in to appropriate pages. These include activities to be used as a slideshow, like 'Mental Math' and '5 Times Table', and activities to be used outside of 'slideshow mode' so that objects may be manipulated to reinforce concepts like 'Mental Math Manipulatives' and 'Integer Football'. There are also activities that are designed to be presented initially in 'slideshow mode' so that students can attempt the problem, then completed as a class in 'manipulative mode' (not in slideshow mode).
LiPS Materials
Created as PowerPoint slideshows, follow the link to download the LiPs program pictures and vowel circles. Copy/paste, resize, and print them for your students, or use them in PowerPoint - dragging and dropping items on-screen.
