Classroom resources for Mathematics

The beauty of the internet is the wealth of resources all with the click of a button.  The challenge?  The sheer amount of resources can feel like you get stuck down a rabbit hole when looking around for something to support/supplement student learning.  Additionally challenging is taking those resources to judge their quality/usability/alignment to standards.  With those thoughts, I wanted to share a few great FREE resources to support Mathematics in the classroom:

• Check out these teacher resources from Dreambox Learning - grades K-8 (...I love that they have content from Numbers to Ten on the TenFrame to Polynomial Functions and Scatter Plots) http://www.dreambox.com/teachertools

• Professor Jo Boaler and her team at Stanford University continue to create some wonderful mathematics tasks across all grade levels.  I highly recommend her Week of Inspirational Math.  She also just newly released Algebra Mathematical Mindset week resources.  grades K-12 Check them out here: https://www.youcubed.org

• Steve Wyborney hosts a website with great math visualizations, all free!  These are especially helpful as a visual to anchor a classroom Number Talk!  http://www.stevewyborney.com/

Have others you enjoy and recommend?  Send them my way so I can share them with all!

The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth. ~Rachel Carson

Every time a student makes a mistake in math, they grow a synapse. ~ Jo Boaler

There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind. ~ Bill Nye
