Below are a list of links and activities that have been compiled to enhance the classroom curriculum, while giving students the opportunity to address the eight intelligences identified by Howard Garner. In most cases, links and activities are closely related to the topics and themes covered in the curriculum. Some links and activities, however, may divert from textbook content. These links will take the viewer outside the Greene County Schools Web Page.
Problem Solving, Numbers and Algebra	Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Statistics: Graphing Data	Exploring Ratio, Proportion, and Percent
Adding and Subtracting Decimals	Geometry: Investigation Patterns
Multiplying and Dividing Decimals	Geometry: Understanding Area and Volume
Using Number Patterns, Fractions, and Ratios	Algebra: Investigating Integers
Adding and Subtracting Fractions	Algebra: Exploring Equations
	Using Probability

Note: Some of the activities require video and audio plug ins, ex. Shockwave and Direct X. You must install these programs once downloaded.
