MiddleWeb.com

MiddleWeb.com is a great website for all middle school teachers to go to for different bits of information. I learned about it through my Middle School Methods class and have used it to find lesson plan and advisory group ideas. It is a collection of links and blogs that create a place for middle school teachers to go to when they need advice or ideas from other teachers across the nation. The resource page is very helpful with the links it has for advice, tips for rubrics, and many other resources a teacher can use in the classroom or for professional development.

This is a great website full of math games that will challenge students. I would suggest the logic puzzles for upper middle school as they require the students to think outside of the box to solve different problems. There are also some fun games to play, I think that the angle estimater is a great game that will allow students to work on visualizing the size of an angle.
