Free Mathematics Powerpoint Presentations for K-12
http://math.pppst.com/
Powerpoint presentations play nicely inside StarOffice Impress and so the resources at this site are good to go. But...they really shine when you realize that the SMART Notebook software will import files stored in Microsoft Powerpoint format. (FILE | IMPORT)
Now, this gets very interesting because you have the interactive environment AND the ability to add your own content and interactions to the files. There's huge potential and an equally as large collection to draw upon at this website.
Now, notice that the website starts with "math". What happens if you get rid of the "math" part and back off to the main site? Guess what? A huge collection of presentations in all subject areas! http://pppst.com/
