Emeryville, Calif. (Jan. 27, 2009) – Key Curriculum Press, innovators in mathematics and science education, announces the availability of Sketchpad LessonLink™. The online, searchable library helps teachers integrate The Geometer’s Sketchpad^® into their math curriculum with more than 500 Sketchpad™ activities designed for students in grades 3-12.

One of the most widely used and effective technologies for school mathematics, The Geometer’s Sketchpad provides students with a tangible way to explore fundamental concepts. By allowing students to build and investigate their own constructions, the software offers a hands-on learning experience that leads to a deeper understanding and greater retention of the material.

Sketchpad LessonLink is aligned to leading math textbooks and state standards. Powerful search options make it easy for teachers to find the perfect demonstration or student activity to reinforce a specific math concept. Teachers can search by key word, grade level, skill level, activity duration or classroom setting, including whole class, student pairs, or independent practice.

In addition to activities, Sketchpad LessonLink offers pre-built sketches, teaching notes, student worksheets, and tips to provide teachers with all the resources they need in one place.

One-year school site subscriptions to Sketchpad LessonLink are $119.95 per teacher per year, with volume discounts available.
