Math puzzles to get students talking about their mathematical thinking. The site provides a collection of shape, number and graph sets. Each activity has four images/numbers, students then need to pick which one doesn't belong. But the trick is this, the puzzles do not have one correct answer.

Looking to boost engagement and participation when students are learning outside of a traditional classroom? This blog post outlines a free platform for remote teaching and how you can use a virtual whiteboard this school year!
"Whiteboard.chat" is a web-based platform, and there is no sign-up required. It’s completely free to use and works across devices. You can use Whiteboard.chat on Chromebooks, and it doesn’t require a strong Internet connection.
The team at Whiteboard.chat developed this platform from the ground up to simulate the same type of modeling you might use in a traditional classroom environment. Each student has their own individual board and can see the teacher’s whiteboard in real time. The teacher can see the student’s boards all at once, too, getting a birds-eye view of their screen as they are working.
As students work on their own, they can raise a virtual hand if they need support. This allows a teacher to join that students’ board and provide individual assistance. It’s an excellent feature for supporting individual students who are part of a big group.
