Welcome to TeacherLed.com. This site aims to provide teaching and learning resources to make the use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom easier and more productive. For full details about this site please see the About page. Interactive whiteboard resources are categorised on the left. New interactive whiteboard resources are below. A printable site overview is available here .

From an experiment in trying to make a number line that looped back on to the screen came Number Cylinder. An interactive whiteboard resource that could prove a useful alternative to using a traditional number line as it provides some of the features of a 100 square too.

Click and drag on the screen to rotate and change position. Double click the screen to to increase the horizontal distance between the numbers. Dragging in the centre of the screen produces smaller movements in the Number Cylinder, this is marked by the concentric circles.

This resource is predated by a physical version: The Numdrum.  To find out more about this resource visit the Numdrum site.

If you prefer traditional number lines these number lines.

As an additional resource for teaching negative numbers. Use temperature comparison resource.

An interactive whiteboard starter to practise mental or written maths. Issue the class with mini whiteboards or paper and pens to do their working out on.

Click 30 or 60 to determine how long they have between new questions. The train will arrive. The timer will start. The students then need to take the starting number shown on the red flag and apply the calculations shown on the carriages. When the time reaches zero the train will leave and a new one will arrive. Four trains will arrive and leave before the end. At the end, click “check” to see the trains with their answers. The resource is fully automated so is a useful activity to set while marking the register.

Also included is a worksheet with blank trains either for the students to use in their working out or for teacher created questions.

Remember to use F11 in Internet Explorer or Firefox to go to full screen as this resource is a little larger than usual.

An alternative interactive whiteboard game.

Designed for the interactive whiteboard. A game to allow students to demonstrate that they can distinguish number groups.  The resource presents ten bubbles bouncing around the screen.  The first version of this IWB resource has 5 prime number bubbles and 5 non prime.  The challenge is to burst all of the primes in as short a time as possible.

For younger students the second version has the same concept but presents odd and even numbers.  The student needs to burst all of the odd numbers.

The resource is primarily designed to be used with an interactive whiteboard and so may be a little trickier with a mouse.

 As a side note reference can also be made to science lessons ; the bubbles simulate the refraction of light.  This is an effect that may labour slower computers.

A familiar style of quiz for use on the Interactive Whiteboard. Click a letter to choose it. Ask the question along the lines of  ”Which T is a…” Select which team got it right, choose a new letter.

A new set of letters is generated every game but it never includes the letters X and Z.

A bank of questions for Maths is also included. As it is a themed bank some letters are problematic. If anyone can think of better ones for J please comment below.

Use this teaching resource to demonstrate the representation of 3D shapes using isometric paper. 

The top half of the screen displays a variety of shapes that can be rotated.

 The bottom half of the screen contains an interactive isometric grid.  Clicking on one dot and then another connects them with a red line.  Clicking on the line removes it.  The rotating shapes include use of perspective demonstrating that the isometric drawing is only a representation of the 3D shape.

Update: There was a bug in this where constant rotations knocked the shapes out of isometric perspective.  This is now fixed.
