Math Cats!

This is a fun site with lots of interactive lessons and activities that you could combine with your own lessons. Many of them engage the students in higher level thinking, sometimes up to analyzing on Bloom's scale. Here's the link!

Math Baseball...

This is just a "kill and drill" type of activity, never reaching above "remembering" on Bloom's scale, but I think your students would enjoy it. It would be a great "free time" type of activity to use as a class reward. Just split them up into teams and let them play math baseball! Here's the link!

Take a Math Challenge!

This site would be perfect to use as "bell work." Just put one of the challenges up on the interactive whiteboard and let the students go to work on it. The challenges are fun and would give the students something to look forward to every day. Some of them will push the level of thinking up to analyzing and maybe evaluating on Bloom's scale. Here's the link!

AAA Math

There's a ton of lessons and activities here to reinforce your math lessons. Most of it is "kill and drill" type of activities so it doesn't really engage the student at a higher level of thinking. It stays down around remembering and understanding on Bloom's taxonomy. Here's a link!

Cool Math!

This site has a bunch of lessons, activities, and games for a wide range of ages and abilities. Some of the activities and games engage the student on a higher level of thinking than just memorizing facts. Many of the reach up to "anlyizing" on Bloom's taxonomy. Here's the link!

Booktalks!

This website is full of everything you ever wanted to know about booktalks. It would be a great resource for students who are creating a booktalk. It will move students up to "applying" on Bloom's taxonomy. Here's a link!

Bio-Cube

Bio-Cube is a useful summarizing tool that helps students identify and list key elements about a person for a biography or autobiography. It reaches up to applying, and perhaps analyzing on Blooms scale. Here's a link!
