The document describes four Smart Board tools that can be used to teach algebra. The Jeopardy Review Game can be used for a review game in grades 7-10. The Algebra: Fractions tool shows different fractions and helps students understand the least common multiple, which is suitable for grades 10-12. Algebraically Speaking helps students understand how to express equations in words for grades 7-10. Finally, the Algebra 2 Graphing Rational Functions tool allows teachers to sketch simple or complex graphs for grades 11-12. All four tools support the principle of universal design by facilitating group work and discussion or accommodating different ability levels.

5df04679daf8
 Grades: 7, 8. 9, 10
 I would use this in my classroom as a review game for Algebra.
 The students would be in teams. The team will answer the questions.
 This would support Universal Design because the teams can discus and find the
correct answer.

3. Algebra: Fractions
 http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=b9b5b8a2-3d4d-42b1-93f2-
0881efa37fb9
 Grades: 10, 11, 12
 I would use this tool to show my students different fractions.
 It will also help students understand the LCM (the less common multiple)
 This would support Universal Design because the tool can be used in many
different ways. It shows the simple fractions and complex fractions.

4. Algebraically Speaking

b37560c1602f
 Grades: 7, 8, 9, 10
 I would this tool to help my students understand the different ways to say what
the equation is tell them.
 This would support Universal Design because tool allows the students to be in
teams and those teams discus the different words or phase that equation means.

5. Algebra 2 Graphing Rational Functions

 Grades: 11, 12
 I would this tool in my classroom because I will be able to show and sketch
graphs.
 This would support Universal Design because I can draw simple graphs or complex
graphs.
