Data Picking
In this online activity you click on 10 different students to get their answers to a question. Then you record their responses as tallies or data in a chart. Finally you pick which one of four graphs is the correct representation of the data. The graphs can include circle graphs, bar charts, and scatter plots. There are three levels of difficulty.

Thinking Blocks - Ratio Word Problems
This is an excellent modeling site that teaches how to solve word problems involving ratio, proportion, multi-step problems, and algebraic situations. For each type of word problem, there is a narrated video that shows how to model and solve that sort of problem using virtual "Thinking Blocks". Then randomly generated problems of that type are presented. The student then gets to model and solve the problem, while getting feedback, guidance, and reinforcement at each step. The problem types cover Part-Part Ratios, Comparing Three Quantities, Part-Total Ratios, and Advanced Problems. A final section shows how draw these models on paper to apply these techniques when no longer at the site.
