Math Central will be a "living" webpage, continually updated as resources are found pertinent to math teachers. The intention is for math teachers to share websites, web resources, and best practices they currently use with others in our district.
Games
General Resources
TeAch-nology
This website offers some great interactives and lesson ideas including math web quests which require application to solve real life problems.
Jonnies Math Page
This is a REALLY fun website with interactives for learning numbers, multiplication, measurement, geometry, fractions, statistics, probability and more.
TeacherChannel.org
This website provides videos regarding teaching strategies in mathematics with printable resources as well as videos on collaboration, engagement, planning, digital literacy, class culture, assessment, and differentiation in the math classroom.
Illuminations
Resources for teaching math K-12. Includes lesson plans and printable worksheets.
Library of Virtual Manipulative
Interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets for mathematics instruction K-12. Winner of the National Science Foundation Award.
Math Assessment Project
This is a great site which compliments and support the Common Core State Standards in mathematics. There are pre-designed lessons and formative assessments for grades six and up. Here is a brief guide to read through to understand their mission: http://map.mathshell.org/guides/map_cc_teacher_guide.pdf
