[] I have used this website many times before to present a new topic or as a snapshot. The site gives movie clips of movies that have a math lesson or topic involved. I make-up my own questions that go along with the clips, but if you email the creator from a school address they will send pre-made worksheets with solutions that you can use. (I met the creators at a conference in NY, their worksheets are really good!)

[] This is a website for some blackline masters [] This is a GREAT tool for review for 4th nine weeks before SOL and to use during tutoring sessions or to send home with students. When you put open the link, you can change the URL for 1st, 3rd, and 4th nine weeks. I think she has also made this review material for 6th-8th grade. So just change the "7M" to 6M or 8M. Or you can google her name.
