This software can be downloaded for free. Obviously, the free version is a little more locked down than the paid version but it’s well worth a look!
Sketchpad gives students a tangible, visual way to learn mathematics that increases their engagement, understanding, and achievement. And it’s not just for geometry. Use it for elementary and middle school math, algebra, precalculus, and calculus
Rather than citing all 107 resources separately, I invite you to explore this very rich maths resource. With interactive activities that range from K -12 this is a really valuable place to stock up your collection.
I really like the Dynamic Paper creator as it helps with the gaps in some IWB software when it comes to creating precise graphing axis, grids etc. You can create your grid/ axis / shape etc and then save them as a jpg or PDF. This can then be imported into Activ Inspire, Notebook, Easiteach or any other IWB software and used effectively.
Other Fabulous resources include:
plus so many more!
This is a very rich resource of interactive activities that can be used on an Interactive Whiteboard. 288 activities ready to go!

Number and Operations, Geometry, Algebra, Probability, Statistics, Modeling, Discrete, Trigonometry, and Calculus
Age range: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8 , Grades 9-12 and Undergraduate
These resources can be sorted by Subject Content or Audience.
Here’s the copy from the site about this app
| Summary | With this applet you can make arithmetic arrows. Input/Output fields (white) can be connected to operation fields (yellow) using arrows. From an operation field an arrow can be drawn to an input/output field to show the results. With the results you can calculate further. See also the applet Algebra Trees. |
