"These Math Screeners were developed in response to the need expressed by teachers for a tool that would aid them in identifying specific skills and concepts where there were ‘gaps.’ Having this data will allow teachers to respond more effectively to students’ learning needs."
Math TV is an amazing collection of how-to videos in a variety of math subjects. Checking it out, I watched a video on how to multiply fractions and I (a teacher) learned a new method. Imagine what your students can learn.
This site includes apps, games, learning tools and other additional supports for math at school and at home.
Many virtual manipulatives are available including Canadian Money!

Contained herein are projects for Grades 6 - 9 Math Outcomes for Stats and Probability. They are meant to use as extensions to the knowledge and skills of those outcomes and connect with real life and can be used in a Cross Curr with modifications.
The following file contains the assets (or resources) to accompany the Sask DLC Grade 9 Mathematics. Please note that this is not the content of the course, but the assets used to support and deliver it. The files are organized in a zipped folder. You can download it and extract the files. Links are also provided to other materials like videos and other suggested resources.
Tag Line: Challenging math problems worth solving
A collection of math problems that require some good thinking, and maybe a few attempts. The idea is to move beyond procedural understanding.
The collections are sorted from grades Kinder to High School (for common core standards in the US - but probably transfer well). The problems usually involve some blank spots which must be filled with numbers. In many of the problems you can not use a digit more than once.
Like similar sites that provide these problem style questions, you can submit your own to add to the collection.
PBS has created and shared tons of media rich, engaging, digital lessons for a wide range of grade levels and subject areas.

Good for early learners!
There are videos on weather and climate, early learning, math and physics.
The math resources are more middle school based.
Same But Different is a powerful routine for use in math classrooms. The activity of same but different is an activity where two things are compared, calling attention to both how they are the same and how they are different.
This apparent paradox is the beauty of the activity. It is important to notice the word BUT. Instead of making a choice – am I going to prove that these are the same or am I going to prove that they are different – students are considering how two items can be both. This is a critically important distinction.
Not same OR different, rather same BUT different.
There are categories for addition/subtraction, early numeracy, multiplication/division, measurement, place value, fractions, ratios, geometry, algebra, and high school math.
Slow Reveal Graph (#slowrevealgraph) is an instructional routine that promotes sensemaking about data. This highly engaging routine uses scaffolded visuals and discourse to help students (in K-12 and beyond) make sense of data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways. This routine increases access for students without sacrificing rigor or engagement.
You will find all types of graphs for all ages of learners from elementary to high school.
Here are the steps:
- It starts with a graph that has been stripped of context: its numbers, its labels, its title.
- The teacher facilitates a discussion around what students notice and wonder. (The slides give discussion suggestions)
- Then another slide is revealed.
- Students identify what information is new.
- Then another slide is revealed.
- Again, students identify what information is new (the title) and discuss how this changes their understanding of the graph.
- As more slides are added, more insight into this data representation is revealed.
The introductory page for the graph also offers more information about the context for this graph, other content connections, and paired texts for students to explore.
