Be an Expert -- Technology Connection #1

This applet allows students to 'fold' nets (a triangular pyramid and a cube) to form geometric solids. Some are not required for fourth grade, but they are interesting to view.

Be an Expert -- Technology Connection #2

In addition to very complex figures, basic nets of figures such as a triangular prism and a hexagonal pyramid are provided.

Be an Expert -- Technology Connection #3

This link goes to a lesson from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It asks students to create nets using dot paper and analyze the properties of 3-D figures.

Measuring Up the Data -- Technology Connection #1

In this game, students must find a troll with the median height.

http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/dataclusters/
Measuring Up the Data -- Technology Connection #2

There is a median and mode activity on this site. Students should stop after finding the mode because the next task is to find the mean, which is not a fourth grade standard.
