Wired Math

This website - Wired Math - is especially designed for Grades 7 to 9 and it's made by the same people who put together Math Frog - The University of Waterloo's Mathematics Department.

Dino Dig and Math Frog

Here's a link to the game Dino Dig I was talking about at school today.  This should help you with practicing plotting coordinates. There are also lots of games available at Math Frog - don't worry that it says Grade 4 to 6. I think Grade 7's can have fun playing them too.

What makes a "good" youtube video?

Use these criteria when choosing a video to share with the class:
