From the "Super Book of Web Tools":

Smartboard and Virtual Manipulatives

I used this website yesterday with a smartboard.  It has all the basic math manipulatives and much more!  I projected the site to the smartboard and then "manipulated" the manipulatives.  It was very useful!  Take a look! Thanks to Laura for the site!
