How do you guys feel about sponsored posts on Twitter? Most times I find them very annoying or irrelevant to what I am interested in, but a couple of nights ago, they really hit the mark. What was the post? Happy Numbers, and what got me hooked was the base ten number blocks. Before I get too far ahead of myself, happy numbers is free to sign up for. I saw on some pages that it said trial, and on others it didn't, so I don't know if they will charge in the future, but for right now you are good. You then create a class and add students. When adding students you only have to add their first names. They you will be assigned a class number, which students will need to type in when logging in, they then have a password (which in my case was a two digit number. Simple log in process. There are number sense activities that need to be completed for you to go on to the next step.
You are able to preview each of the activities as a student before you assign it to the class. Now this works great on a laptop, it also works on the Ipad, and if you have a whiteboard it would be a wonderful activity. However, it is skewed towards younger aged children, I would say maybe to the beginning of third grade, and that would be pushing it. They say on the site that multiplication is coming soon, and I hope that they continue to update the site. Overall it worth a look at and would be a great center activity in the classroom.
