Dynamic Paper is a hands-on learning opportunity for high school students. Dynamic Paper allows for creation of all sorts of math manipulatives, such as pentagonal pyramid, a set of pattern blocks, a number line, and so on; all these in the size and shape you need. This interactive meets NCTM and Common Core Standards and includes directions for use, modes, a toolbar, and a suggested exploration.
In the Classroom
Bookmark this interactive for use when teaching different types of measurement. Share Dynamic Paper on your whiteboard or during small group lessons and discuss problem-solving ideas with students. Add a link to this interactive, along with other online games, to your class website for game play at home. Consider using a site like Symbaloo, <a href="/single.cfm?id=11744">reviewed here</a>, as an excellent way to organize and share your resources. Extend learning and ask your students create videos sharing problem solving techniques used during these lessons. Use a video creation tool such as Vizia, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17848">reviewed here</a>, to create interactive lessons (can add quizzes and questions). Share the videos using a tool such as SchoolTube, <a href="/single.cfm?id=9437">reviewed here</a>.
At Home
Consider a measurement activity for problem-solving for your student to use as part of a math fair project. This tool allows you to create geometric objects in user-determined sizes then export as a PDF or JPG. Share this with your student for practice in measurement of many different types of objects.
