Homework Assignment #1: Second useful thing

Ok I know this isn't the most interesting thing on the internet but I have to say I almost jumped out of my skin because I found the website www.educationworld.com and it has FREEEEEEEEE worksheets. The one I am most interested in is the Multiplication practice sheets. I am always looking for practice sheet for multiplication because the students in my class are just learning multiplication and how else to internalize it except practice, practice, practice. So I am excited to find this website.
This site has many different things to use that I have not yet discovered but I am excited to do so. One other thing that I like on this site is the Fact Monster searchs. There is actually a site called www.factmoster.com that allows students to input questions in the search engine and find answers similiar to what we did in class on Saturday. The Fact Monster WKSHTs have skill levels from 2nd grade all the way up to middle school. VERY INTERESTING!
So I will explore more and let you know what I find. But be sure to check it out its really fun and interesting.

  1. I'm going to have to check out that website! Free worksheets are always FANTASTIC! Factmonster sounds great too. You're right that there are usually kids who want to know more than what you've covered in class, especially with science and social studies. This sounds like it would be a great place to send them!
