Okay, I used all capital letters, so you know this must be BIG! Yikes! I did it again. A fellow instructional coach shared this website today, and it's too good to keep to myself. The website is Inside Mathematics, and it contains a plethora of mathematics resources. So many, in fact, that you might want to start with their video tour of the website. Speaking of videos, the website is chock full of videos of teachers--or more accurately, students--in action.
BUT, the reason for my capital letter frenzy is their Problem of the Month. You know how you're always looking for great, rich problems that your kiddos can really sink their teeth into? Well, how would you like it if you not only had an extensive bank of fabulous problems with incredible teacher instructions for use, but they were also aligned to the common core standards? I know, right? I think you can now see the reason for my exuberance.
I've included a couple of screen shots that show how you can look for problems by grade level (which are then organized by standard) and by standard (which then show you options for each grade level). There's also a screen shot of one of the amazing teacher notes pages.
Okay, so there you go! I know this one will keep you busy for awhile. It's also your responsibility to share this great resources, so be sure to Pin it!
