FREE Technology Tools and Lesson Plans


Whether you’re teaching one grade or several grades, it’s always a challenge to find FREE, ready-to-use  technology tools.  So I was thrilled to find 
Dreambox Teacher ToolsReady-To-Use interactive whiteboard lessons for 
grades K-8.
  • Don’t have a Dreambox subscription?  Don’t need one!
  • Don’t have an interactive whiteboard?  Don’t need one!

The list of Teacher Tools are in order by (1) grade then (2) skill. 

An example of a Kindergarten lesson uses an interactive, 2- wire Rekenrek and patterns of five and ten to help students count and subitize numbers to 20.


Along with each lesson is a sample lesson plan.  This one encourages collaboration between students and sharing different ways of solving problems.  


In a 4th grade lesson, students learn to use a bar model and equation to add fractions.    


The accompanying Sample Lesson Plan also encourages collaboration between students and sharing different ways of solving problems.  There are also tips on common misconceptions and tips for struggling students.

Go to Dreambox Teacher Tools and see if some of these ready-to-use tools and lessons would be useful to your students!
