    I must echo everybody else’s sentiments here, and say what a fantastic resource this is.  It’s websites/communities like this that inspire people like me to create our maths revision apps.  We’ve just started a blog, and have posted a short one about using mobile phones in the classroom: http://pocketrevision.co.uk/blog/?p=14  I’m hoping to implement some of the creative ideas I see here, and keep people updated with progress via our blog.   Thanks again…..

    Support spelling in the classroom suggestion: I use a game called EVAPORATION. Children sit in equal groups eg 5 or 6 with a pencil each and 1 piece of paper for the group. Teacher writes the word on the board in very large letters. When you say go the children pass the paper around the group and write one letter each to spell the word they continue to do this to write the complete word as many times as possible. As they do this the teacher slowly rubs out the word so that it “evaporates”. Once the word is evaporated the teacher calls out stop. The groups count up how many times they have spelt the word correctly and completely. Great for teamwork and practicing the word.
