Zimmer,+Melissa

Hi! My name is Melissa Zimmer and I am a fifth grade teacher at Cumberland Trace Elementary. [] I'm originally from RI, but moved to GA when I was 13. I graduated from Duke in 2004 with a B.A. in Public Policy and Spanish. In 2007, I graduated from George Washington with a Master's in Elementary Ed. Besides teaching Language Arts and Math, I also enjoy running, playing golf, watching sports and cooking food that is good to have while watching sports.

My favorite interactive Math website is the function machine at: []. Be sure to challenge your skills at the advanced level! I also like the Alien Juice Bar at: [] This incorporates math with acid/base science.

When it comes to Web 2.0, I am most familiar with Glogster and Prezi. Students can use them to safely share their photos, videos, data, and other information.

My favorite math iPad app is //Estimate Fractions.// Definitely choose the most difficult setting!
