Math Resources

 

A new Online Math Teaching Resources page has been added to help teachers suddenly having to teaching online.  Also check out the great links below:

 

Printable Math Teacher Resources - https://kentuckymathematics.org/pimser.php - graph paper, number lines, 10's charts, etc.

 

Tasks

  • Illustrative Mathematics - https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/free-resources/ - a project to provide tasks that illustrate each of the CCSSM standards.  There are also contests for teachers to write tasks and provide standards for this site.  There are a few of the standards already illustrated, and more tasks are being added as they are reviewed.  If you have an account (they are free) and log in, you can click on "Show only Illustrated Standards" to see the standards that include illustrations.  (This site can now be searched by search engines.  For example, you could search for "Illustrations for 7.G.1" and should be taken straight to those illustrations).
    • Course Blueprints -- https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/blueprints --  suggest one possible order by arranging the standards into units for a year of study and include tasks and assessments associated with the units. 
    • Annotated Tasks can be found on the Achieve the Core website.  These annotated tasks give teachers more information about how to use these tasks as a lesson in the classroom and also instructional implications of the tasks.
    • Open Up Resources -- https://im.openupresources.org/ -- free curriculum for grades 6-8 based on illustrative mathematics ideas and materials.
  • Nrich -- http://nrich.maths.org/public/ -- Provides rich problems weekly on different levels of difficulty. Some of these might make good practice problems for assessments. Includes a link to search all problems by topic. Be sure to click on the American flag to see American rather than British English.
  • Noyce Foundation -- http://www.noycefdn.org/resources.php  -- Links to many different resources including MARS tasks by grade level, a problem of the month, and Inside Mathematics.
  • ORC Problem Center -- http://www.ohiorc.org/problem-corner/ -- Site containing what ORC feels are "rich problems"  These problems are searchable by topic and grade level.
  • You Cubed https://www.youcubed.org/ - a site containing tasks, videos and other resources promoting a growth mindset in mathematics.
  • Which One Doesn't Belong? -- http://wodb.ca/graphs.html  -- tasks with four givens (pictures, graphs, numbers...) and students are asked to tell why each one does not belong with the others. Emphasizes the properties of objects being compared.
  • Math Modeling Hub -  https://qubeshub.org/community/groups/mmhub - tasks involving mathematical modeling.

Sites that contain Videos, Student Work and Other Illustrations of Standards:

  • Numberphile, "The Curse of Lane Eight"  -- https://youtu.be/fjEB_wbemQA -- video of a mathematician talking about applying math to solve a problem with BMX bike racing.  Would be a good video to show students how math can be useful in life -- mathematical modeling. 
  • Teaching the Core -- http://www.teachingthecore.org/ -- contains video of CCSSM aligned lessons that have been reviewed before being uploaded to the site.
  • Inside Mathematics -- http://www.insidemathematics.org/ -- This website is sponsored by Achieve and is hosted by one of the authors of CCSS.  It contains videos, sample classroom activities, sample assessments, descriptions of learning targets (reasons specific standards are at teach grade level, and much other helpful information).  Keep checking this website because it is being updated very often.  Be sure to check this one out. 
  • Illustrating the Standards for Mathematical Practice - http://www.mathedleadership.org/ccss/itp/index.html - Professional Learning modules (designed for 1.5-3 hrs. each) for each of the mathematical practices.  This project includes challenging tasks highlighting ways they can be used in instruction.  Modules also include student artifacts, classroom videos, and other resources.  Created by NCSM with funding from the Noyce Foundation.
  • Video Mosaic -- http://videomosaic.org/ -- videos of students engaging in problems from 1st grade through high school. 
  • ASCD EduCore Tools - http://educore.ascd.org/a repository of evidence-based strategies, videos, and supporting documents that help educators transition to the Common Core standards.
  • Mathagogy -- http://www.mathagogy.com/ --  a site containing two-minute videos highlighting lessons that "math heroes" use to teach different topics.  Text with videos contains links to resources that can be used by teachers if they choose to use a similar lesson.

 

Lessons Starters and Classroom Activities:

  • Estimation 180 -- http://www.estimation180.com/ -- a series of pictures to use for student estimation.  
  • Graphing Stories -- http://graphingstories.com/ -- asks students to graph real-life situations from a video.  The site would be useful for understanding graphing of different types of relationships and might be good as an introduction to different function types.  
  • Math Pickle -- http://mathpickle.com/K-12/Videos.html -- a site with videos presenting math problems and paradoxes for students to solve.  They can be viewed by grade level.  It also contains unsolved problems that come with a cash prize for the first student who solves them.
  • We Use Math -- http://weusemath.org -- Videos of examples of how math is used in the Real World.  Great for those who want to answer the question, "When will we ever have to use this?"
  • Crispy Math -- http://crispymath.com/ -- blog that contains many classroom games and teaching ideas.

 

Computer Applications Students or Teachers Would Use:

 

Misc. Classroom Resources:

  • Polya's Problem Solving Techniques -- http://math.berkeley.edu/~gmelvin/polya.pdf -- short explanation of the process first outlined by Polya.
  • U.S. Department of Education Free Resources Page -- http://free.ed.gov/ -- free resources for many different subjects.
  • Paul Perskin Wiki on Portaportal.com - http://guest.portaportal.com/cfn204 - a wiki page hosted by a Mathematics Achievement Coach in the New York City School District.  It contains links to many different resources on Common Core and Mathematics.
  • Project Achieve -- http://www.achieve.org/achievingcommoncore This is the Common Core section of the Project Achieve website.  There are many resources available here.  A page called Math Works provides handouts about the need for higher level mathematics.
  • National Science Digital Library NSDL -- Contains a link to NSDL Math Common Core, which is a collection of resources separated by subject and grade level that relate to Common Core.
  • Kentucky Mathematics Resources - https://www.kentuckymathematics.org/resources.php - Links to units on Algebra, Numbers (Positive and negative, Fractions, and much more.
