A great collection of sample rich tasks or activities and exemplars of student answers by Dr. Marian small.
This award winning math site is searchable by grade level (6-8, 9-10, 11-12), course content and activities. It encourages:
Active Learning
- The unique content format makes learning more interactive than ever before. Students can explore, discover and actively engage in problem solving and creativity.
Personalization
- The content can seamlessly adapt to different students, allowing everyone to achieve mastery. A virtual personal tutor gives real-time hints and encouragement.
Storytelling
- Every course has a captivating narrative and is full of colourful illustrations. Discover all the real-life applications of mathematics, and why it is incredibly beautiful.
Just a few topics include:
- Virtual manipulatives (including Canadian money)
- multiplication flash cards
- Fractals
- timeline of mathematics
- graph theory
- Pascal's triangle
- Factris
- Fibonacci
- circles and pi
- origami
- Platonic Solids
- Symmetry
- Probability
- Cylinders
This is a variety of ideas for ways students can share their learning.
"The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.
Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials."
Activities for: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension
Explore these 40 proven AI prompts for teachers from The AI Classroom book for free.
Please keep in mind that nothing replaces you and your professionalism as an educator. Make sure you add your personal touch and align AI generated materials to your students' needs and your teaching style.
Prompts for: task creation, lessons, scaffolding, risk assessments, feedback, how to guides, vocabulary, differentiation, debates, writing revolution sentence activities (because, but, so), misconceptions and more.
"The Rethinking Learning Toolkit includes resources that can help you, your school, district, or organization transform teaching and learning for learners of all ages. You can use this toolkit to:
*help you understand the language around personalized learning and agency.
*understand the different approaches for teaching and learning.
*understand Universal Design for Learning as the foundation to create learner-centered environments.
*design Learner Profiles and Personal Learning Backpacks.
*have the research and resources to support your journey to learner agency.
*use different graphics and content to move from compliance to learner agency.
*help close the skills gap by empowering learners to acquire the skills needed for their future."
*join an online community with loads of features and resources.
Open-ended questions to differentiate math instruction.
This is a collection of different types of questions you can use for problem solving that differentiate to meet the varied needs of your classroom.
Some potential number talks are included in the "What one doesn't belong" section.
Two sample open-ended math questions are provided for each grade K-7.
The following modules are available for download:
*Module 1 - Multi-Level Instruction - Planning for Student Diversity
*Module 2 - Reading Instruction - Critical Elements
*Module 3 - Instruction in Mathematics - Effective Instructional Practices
*Module 4 - Written Expression - Effective Instructional Practices
On y trouve trois modules de disponibles en français:
*Module 2 : Instruction en lecture - Éléments essentiels
*Module 3 : Instruction en mathématiques - Pratiques pédagogiques efficaces
*Module 4 : Expression écrite - Pratiques pédagogiques efficaces

This is a list to help students decide how they want to share their learning. This can help provide voice and choice in their learning.
"Workbench is an innovative one-stop shop for teachers to find and share lessons and projects that support both core and STEAM curricula. Forge real-world connections by creating a meteorologist's report about local weather, bring the maker movement to life by creating earthquake-proof Lego buildings, or encourage students to learn JavaScript through scaffolding lessons that increase in difficulty. Flip your classroom by assigning videos and independent learning tasks, and then have students collaborate in class to perform experiments or create media.
Struggling with differentiation? Individually assign projects by area of interest or level of complexity, adding in supports as needed via videos, guiding questions, and progress monitoring. Build higher-order thinking skills by asking open-ended questions, tracking student progress, and viewing responses in real time. Create classes and assignments on Workbench, in Google Classroom, or by using Clever to sync with your school's learning management system (LMS)." (Common Sense Media Review)
