The questions are good, though the game is a little weird. You’re given three answer choices. Each answer is color-coded, and in order to choose an answer, you have to “whack” the correctly-colored figure that keeps popping up.

I’ve placed the link on my website under Word and Video Games.

The key feature, though, that makes it so useful to English Language Learners is that audio support is provided for much of the text.

I’ve placed the link on my website under Math.

It’s a perfect way for English Language Learners to do their math and, through listening skills, developing their language abilities.

I’ll be adding it to the Math page on my website.

Thanks to Casey Mayfield for the tip.

It includes activities for Math, English and Science.  What makes it truly exceptional — at least for English Language Learners — is that all the neat exercises listed as an “Activity” on the site not only are very engaging and informative, but have subtitles which make them more accessible to English Language Learners.

Various parts of this site are going to make it on a number of “The Best…” lists this year.

“…interactive document… developed during a professional development session, led by the Texas Comprehensive Center, for mathematics and ESL specialists from the Education Service Centers in Texas.”

It was just put on the Web by SEDL, a Texas-based education “think-tank,” and I thought readers might find it useful.

You can subscribe for free to the NCELA listserv here.

It doesn’t have an embed feature, but I assume you can use Embedit.in for that.

I’m adding it to The Best Tools To Make Simple Graphs Online.

Thanks to Steve Dembo for the tip.

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews in Scotland has an impressive website filled with biographies for 2100 mathematicians.

Earlier this year, they developed a list of Most popular biographies and identified and ranked the 100 bio’s that were visited most often.

As I’ve explained in earlier pieces, I periodically post “most popular” lists of websites that I think educators might find useful. Of course, there are a number of ways to gauge “popularity.” I just view these lists as opportunities to check-out some new sites and information, and find it interesting to see which ones might be particularly “popular.”

Much of it is accessible to English Language Learners.

Go to his home page and you’ll see links to each section, and a list of new activites he’s recently added to the site.
