The best features of game shows can be used to review and teach in the classroom. Kahoot!, Quizizz, Quizlet Live, and Gimkit can help. See their pros, cons and what makes them different.
Students must think about the factors of each number as they play this game. Students quickly learn the value of selecting prime numbers as a strategy. The beauty of the game design is that students will review the factors of many numbers and mentally add the sum of these factors together in search of the "best move."
Two gamified financial literacy courses are now freely available for Canadian students and teachers on the ChatterHigh platform.

Demystify taxes and boost confidence in youth so they can do taxes on their own with these gamified courses, built by the CRA for grades 6-12 (French and English). This free course is approx. 10 hrs of work, can be done at the student's own pace, and will be available year-round. Students will also receive a certificate of completion.
Students will be able to access five courses designed to help them understand the Canadian tax system and give them the tools they need to confidently do their taxes on their own.
Learn About Your Taxes course titles:
1. Starting to Work
2. Preparing to Do Your Taxes
3. Completing a Basic Tax Return*
4. After Sending the CRA Your Tax Return
5. Purpose of Taxes
The Gamma-ray Burst Skymap website automatically updates for each gamma-ray burst as it occurs, whether detected by Swift or other orbiting satellites. For each burst, the location on the sky, star map, constellation and detecting mission are generated automatically. It is then quickly updated by hand to include a written description of the burst properties and scientific significance, as observations continue. Note: In order to view the content of the website, users need to download and install Silverlight on their computers.
These monthly newsletters can help you find our favourite resources to help you get started exploring the Grade Alike Planning Hubs. Grade 4, 5 and 6 each have their own newsletter with recommended resources.

Cette série-documentaire de 13 épisodes s'attarde au monde agricole et à des façons de réinventer l'agriculture. Elle nous fait vivre un voyage pancanadien au cœur des fermes francophones vertes.
A little boy loses his neighbors dog inside the mysterious garden of Abdul Gasazi, who tells the boy that he has turned the dog into a duck. But when the boy returns home he finds the dog waiting for him on the porch. Gasazi was playing a trick on the boy - or was he?
This art history video discussion examines The Paris Opera (1860-75) by architect Charles Garnier.
This is a series of computer animations which demonstrate all the possible combinations of the ideal gas law or equation of state. Gases have various properties which we can observe with our senses, including the gas pressure, temperature, mass, and the volume which contains the gas. Careful, scientific observation has determined that these variables are related to one another and the values of these properties determine the state of the gas. In a scientific manner, we can fix any two of the four primary properties and study the nature of the relationship between the other two by varying one and observing the variation of the other. The variations are demonstrated using computer graphics in the animated gas lab.
Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.
"Shadows are corrupting the land. Restore the balance of nature by exploring place value. Gate guides students in: lowering intimidation about large numbers and
decimals, understanding the meaning of place value, and realizing that the same mathematical concepts that apply to the ""easy"" integers apply to every order of magnitude."
