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 .

The first non-maths activity for this site.  Use as a starter or plenary activity in a literacy lesson. Click roll and the dice will generate a new set of letters.  The rules for how words can be made from the resulting letters will be left for the teachers to decide.

This resource is quite demanding on the computer.  Slower computers may glitch or temporarily freeze when the dice are rolled.  To minimise this make sure that no other applications are running at the same time as this resource.  If you have any suggestions or problems please leave a comment.

True 3D dice to use on your interactive whiteboard.  Select to display one, two or three dice on screen.  Click ‘Roll’ for them to roll.

Useful in probability lessons and at any other time when a random choice needs to be made.

 As the dice used on this resource are in real time 3D, slower computers may glitch or stutter occasionally.  Try rolling only one dice if this happens.

 As usual please leave feedback on any problems you might encounter or comments on how you have used this resource in your lessons.

Inspired by the fact that students seem to love “wiping” the interactive whiteboard.  A set of shapes are obscured by a scratchcard.  Either direct the student to a suitable square or let them choose.  They can scratch off the covering and reveal part of the shape underneath.  A discussion about shape properties can then be had.

The instructions include a key to the shape numbers and which part of the grid covers which part of the shape.

A game designed to be played on the interactive whiteboard, probably with a small group with the intentions of encouraging development of mental maths skills.  It is best used for a maths competition at the end of the lesson.  Entering the answer with an interactive whiteboard is easier within the given time as there is no need for the mouse to travel. There are two versions; one which gives multiplication questions and one with addition questions. The difference between the given answer and the correct answer is how many ballons are burst. Inspired by old fashioned theatre.

An experimental interactive whiteboard resource.  Its purpose is to allow some of the benefits of an expensive visualiser to be used in the average classroom.  Use a webcam to project objects on to the interactive whiteboard.  Take snaps and annotate them, swap between the snaps and keep the annotations.  Snap students’ work and point out what’s good about it. Sadly this resource is limited by the detail of the average webcam.  Anything less than 1.3 megapixels will not scale up to interactive whiteboard size.  A 1.3 mp will not be a perfect picture either.  Nevertheless as a demonstration aid this still has uses.  Please leave feedback on how you have used it.

This teaching and learning resource presents you with a virtual mirror to use on your interactive whiteboard.  Drag the on-screen mirror to reflect the different pictures and diagrams.  Demonstrate what reflective symmetry is and where the reflection lines are on a number of shapes.

 Use your interactive whiteboard instead of trying to use a real mirror in front of a class.

Use your interactive white board to play Maths bingo with your students.  If you use the printable bingo books provided for this resource the program can instantly check which numbers have been called on which book and provide a picture of that book with the appropriate numbers marked, saving time when a student calls Bingo!

 The answers can be hidden by the cover so that the questions can be delivered visually on the interactive whiteboard.

In response to the request in the comments Bingo version 2 is now on-line.  This operates on a timer basis.  Choose 5 0r 10 second intervals.  Click pause to stop new questions appearing. Click the 5 or 10 second buttons to continue. All else works the same.  The original is still here in case of problems with the new version or if you just prefer it.
