=Students of all ages can use an Interactive Whiteboard! =

Interactive Dice: You can create dice that have numbers, coins, shapes, math terms, etc. (download our presentation Notebook for the coins)
1. Create a page that has 2 dice. Have students roll the dice and add, subtract, multiply the dice. 2. Coin die: students can count a collection of coins or count a collection of coins then make change from $1.00. 3. Probability activities. 4. Graphing activities.

== Graphing Activities: You can use pictures of your students or pictures of the objects the question is about. For example if you are going to ask a question about a favorite fruit. Pick the fruit you would like to use and then have the students answer the question as they enter the classroom. ==

Here is an example of a graph that was created in less than 5 minutes:
 * Which fruit did the most students like best?
 * Which fruit did the least students pick?
 * How many students like picked apples as their favorite fruit?
 * How many more students picked banana's than strawberries?
