Making a Kaleidoscope	Reflections (Math 4)+	Sketchpad	Tool		[1]
In this activity, students create their own Sketchpad kaleidoscopes. In the process, they learn about rotation and reflection, as well as gaining some skill using Sketchpad's transformation features. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Reach the Target	Estimation (Math 4)+	Sketchpad	Tool		[1]
Students use their knowledge of place value to identify the locations of unlabeled tick marks along number lines. These locations are exact to units, tenths, and all the way up to hundred thousandths. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Balance	Algebra (Math 4)+	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
This sketch contains a collection of five different shapes: a star, square, circle, triangle, and diamond. The weight of these shapes can be compared by using the provided balance scale; simply drag o... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Circles and Squares	Algebra (Math 4)	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
Using arithmetic reasoning and logic, players try to determine the secret values of the square and circle in as few turns as possible. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Types of Triangles	Classify geometric objects (Math 4)+	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
This Sketchpad sketch accompanies the tPoW, Types of Triangles. Students are able to drag and manipulate four triangles and by noticing what happens they classify the triangles as either scalene, isos... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Measuring Fish	Fractions (Math 4)+	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
Students use special rulers to measure the size of fish using "binkers" a non-standard unit. Students encounter fish that are not whole number units in length and experiment with the use of fractional... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Ghost Paths	Geometry in the plane (Math 4)	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
Students move two ghost characters (Doug and Linda) around the screen to explore geometric concepts. Students discover connections between the ghosts' constructed paths by comparing them and looking f... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Lulu, Sketchpad version	Geometry in the plane (Math 4)	Sketchpad	Tool		[0]
