It recommends free resources like interactive websites and math manipulatives that can be used. Signs of effective interactivity include using games/puzzles on the board, adding multimedia, and having student responses determine what is shown. Tools like Triptico and PowerPoint can also add interactivity. Grouping students and letting them lead are other strategies discussed.
