New research shows that when parents and caregivers do a little math with their child every day, math learning is supported, even if the adults are math-phobic. Bedtime Math is a resource that provides a picture, a little bit to read, and an interesting math challenge at four levels (“Wee Ones” to “Sky’s the Limit”) every day. For Elementary |
|
101questions asks the viewer to identify a mathematical question that is asked by a visual (photo or video). This is the first step in mathematical modeling, and an important habit of mind for using math in everyday life. For Secondary |
|
Graphing Stories provides short videos that ask students to graph something against time over 15 seconds. They provide the graphs to graph on, and the videos include one possible “answer.” Discussion of that answer, and how it is different from what students came up with, can be a great opportunity for students to critique the reasoning of others and justify their own thinking. For Secondary |
|
Which One Doesn't Belong is a fun website full of thought-provoking puzzles. Many of them appear as Math Talks in our curriculum. They help to engage even your most reluctant students because of their open-ended nature. They also support a positive math community by building confidence and appreciation for the unique ways in which we all see things. For Elementary and Secondary |
| Three-Act Tasks are sprinkled throughout the SFUSD Math Core Curriculum. Many educators have shared information about how to implement them online, and more examples of this kind of task. One place to look is Dan Meyer's list of Three-Act Tasks. For Elementary and Secondary |
Resources for the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Link to this section
A source for free content designed to help educators understand and implement the Common Core State Standards. It includes practical tools designed to help students and teachers see their hard work deliver results. |
The official site of the CCSS. The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. |
A professional resource for educators passionate about improving students' mathematics learning and performance. This site features classroom examples of innovative teaching methods and insights into student learning, tools for mathematics instruction that teachers can use immediately, and video tours of the ideas and materials on the site. |
Illustrative Mathematics is a source of freely available online mathematics content aligned to the Common Core Standards for teachers, teacher leaders, assessment developers, curriculum writers, and teacher educators. |
The project has designed assessment tools to support US schools in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM). The project creates tools for formative and summative assessment that make knowledge and reasoning visible, and help teachers to guide students in how to improve, and monitor their progress. |
NCSM is the National Coalition of Supervisors of Mathematics. Their website features professional learning modules for K-12 teachers covering the Common Core Content and Practice Standards for Mathematics. |
SFUSD is a member district and SFUSD educators have access to member resources. Contact us for information on accessing these resources! |
Teaching Channel is a video showcase of innovative and effective teaching practices in America's schools. It features hundreds of helpful videos showing classroom practices that align with the CCSS-M. |
