Announcing the Which One Doesn't Belong? Website!

Four days ago I wrote this blog post about using Which One Doesn't Belong? as an activity for my calculus classes. I have had a lot of positive feedback about it and along the way Pam Wilson tweeted this:



and that also got a good response. So I decided to take this on. It's a good thing that I'm on March break as this has taken a few (!) more hours than I normally have "free" during the week.

<insert drum roll>
Announcing the Which One Doesn't Belong? website at http://wodb.ca/



I really hope that many of you will contribute to the site (some of my children already have!) as that is the only way it will grow. I plan on having my students create their own and will add them - please do the same with your students. 

You can also follow @WODB?Math on Twitter.

In order to help you use and create WODB?, here are some links.

To help you create:
WODB? Template (SMART Notebook)
Graph software that I use (produces very clean graphs)

To help you use (especially if your students have trouble with right & left):
WODB? ABCD Template (SMART Notebook)

Please let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful. Also - I am happy to format submissions if you just send in content.
