"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." ~ Walt Disney
We use BrainPops as a fun way to supplement and enhance learning. I have made this list of BrainPops that correlates with the Big Ideas grade 7 mathematics text book. However, since the Big Ideas curriculum is based on the Common Core standards, I am confident that they will align with just about any other Common Core curriculum.
BrainPops isn’t free (although some of their videos are) but if you have access to it, perhaps this will be of help. If you have access, you can simply copy the links and use them as you see fit. BrainPops cannot be downloaded, but you can link to them from a Moodle page or other website.
Here is some recommended text to wrap around your links:
Watch the BrainPop video on xxxxxxxxxxxx (<— link to this text) and take notes. After you watch it take the self-check quiz to see how much you learned and understand. To log into BrainPops the user name is xxxxxx and the password is xxxxxx.
Of course you shouldn’t publish your user name and password on a public website.

Thanks Andrew. BrainPop has some holes in their offerings as far as curriculum coverage goes so I’d like to see those addressed.
