Welcome to my new blog! I started this blog a few years ago but then disabled it because #life. I'm back now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In May I will be done with my Masters Certificate! Not my degree but a graduate level certificate in mathematics leadership! I can't wait!
My plan for this blog is to really focus on reviews of teaching books, websites and apps, and mathematics education! I love math and want to share that with all of you!
Today, I am here to bring you some amazing math websites that I have discovered through my graduate courses! So let's get started!
1. Illustrative Mathematics
This website was created by a group of educators at the University of Arizona in 2011. This website has critical thinking problems and constructed responses for each Common Core Standard. They also have videos to help you with understanding and developing the 8 Mathematical Practices with students.
Inside Mathematics was created by Noyce Foundation's Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative. This website provides problems of the month. These problems are to help create a problem-solving atmosphere in your classroom. The thing I like about the Problems of the Month are that they include different levels of the same problems so that you can easily differentiate for your students! The website also includes classroom videos of lessons and number talks.
3. Illuminations
This website was designed by The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It is chock full of lesson plans, activities, and games. NCTM is a great place to find any of your questions about mathematics education.
4. Engage NY
Engage Ny website is chock full of lessons, exit tickets, and professional development videos. The lessons are really well designed. I have used several from time to time. The only thing that I have noticed is that if not every grade level uses the lessons then vocabulary could be a problem. My school does not use Engage Ny but since I do, I usually try to pre-teach the vocabulary so that my students are prepared for the lessons.
I hope that you found this post useful. Let me know in the comments what math websites you find useful!
Happy Teaching!
