This is a site that is chuck full of math lessons for the SMARTboard. My personal favorite is The Function Man file. For those of you that teach Everyday Math this file is a wonderful resource. I know that the function machine is used in both 1st and 2nd grade. The best part about this file is that Harvey Almarode, the author, also explains how to make your own using the trickery involved in the file. My kiddos went absolutely crazy for this lesson and were in total awe trying to figure out "the magic". Needless to say, they really paid attention and picked up on the concept fairly well.
3rd grade EM teachers, you'll love that he has a lattice method multiplication file!!!

There are lessons in 7 areas on his website:
- number sense
- computation estimation
- Patterns, algebra, and functions
- geometry
- measurement
- probability, statistics
- Utilities
All of his files are creative and engaging, and best yet- FREE!
One thing to note regarding this site- it loads extremely slowly in Internet Explorer. I use Google Chrome without any issues. The website itself recommends using Firefox.
Have fun exploring!
I am SO jealous of teachers that have SmartBoards. I would LOVE to have one!
