Go-To Math Resources

When you're looking for a fresh math idea, what are the go-to resources that you use?

This year, we are lucky to have two new resources to add to our tool boxes:  Discovery Education Plus and Smarter Balanced Digital Library.

We thought we'd share some of our other math go-to favorites with you this week!

1.  North Carolina Unpacked Standards - Is it just us, or is it sometimes difficult to unpack some of the standards?  North Carolina has done a magnificent job unpacking the standards for you.  We like to have them handy when we're looking at specific standards just to make sure we're on the same page.  If you haven't checked them out already, it's certainly worth your time.



2.  Fantastic Flipbooks - Like having everything organized in one place?  Yeah, us too!  Check out these flipbooks...available for each grade level!  Wahoo!

1st Grade flipbook
2nd Grade flipbook
3rd Grade flipbook
4th Grade flipbook

3.  Illuminations - Resources for Teaching Math - The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has lessons and interactive games and lessons available for teachers in grades K-12.  These are great ways to keep up student interest!



4.  Illustrative Mathematics is a fantastic resource if you're looking for tasks for a specific standard.



5.  You've heard us say her name a million times, but we <HEART> her...seriously.  Check out Dr. Nicki Newton's Guided Math Blog by clicking on the link below.  She also has a Pinterest page for the super pinners out there!



6. Learn Zillion is a wonderful resource that you can share with students and parents, use in small groups, or work with during tutoring.  The lessons are divided by subject, grade level, and standard. You can view videos and complete lesson plans!
