Thinking Blocks provides interactive templates in which students use blocks to model and
solve problems. There are templates and problems for addition, multiplication, fractions,
and ratios or you can develop your own problems. Activities can prepare students for those
TEI questions on the SOL test AND can help students become accustomed to more
rigorous thinking. Students are also provided with feedback as they work.

On the RPSTech.org SmartBoard site, you can plan your classroom lessons using an
assorted collection of sites and great finds. You will find several great sites to utilize as you
complete your instructional planning.

This website contains SOL correlated activities for multiple grade levels.
