Math Word Problems

Here is a great site for learning how to work out math word problems.

It is arranged by grade and by theme and has lots of ideas.

Will post more soon.

one more site that helps you break down the problem into strategies and steps.

http://www.mathplayground.com/thinkingblocks.html

This site uses sort of 2D thinking blocks to work out math problems. Simple and interesting. Try it.

Storytime

Here is a great story site for any of you storytellers. Many of the stories are like memoirs or remininscences.
I am not sure how we could use this, but it could be a great tool to actually help a learner submit a story.

READ Saskatoon is an incredible organization. Check out some of their tutor resources, especially their lesson plans. I think these could be very helpful.
