Tutorials are linked at the bottom of the site as well.

This site offers 4 free math activities to assist students with increasing their fluency in operations with rational number and algebraic equations. The activities include:
Activity 7.7: "Would You Rather..." Routine
There are two versions of this routine with systems of linear equations—choosing different strategies (e.g., Use Tables or Use Graphs) and making choices within a strategy (e.g., For which variable will I substitute? Or Which variables will I eliminate?).
Activity 6.10: The Transformer Game
This game is a fun way to give students opportunities to choose and use different basic transformations to start solving equations.
Activity 5.7: Worked Examples For Ratios and Proportions
Use this activity for worked examples for ratios and proportions. Correctly worked examples and partially solved worked examples benefit students so that they can understand strategy.
ACTIVITY 4.11: Quotient Connect Game
This game is an engaging way to practice division using Partial Quotients. It is played similarly to the classic board game Boggle as students find quotients through connected digits.

« Suivez le filon de l'histoire des mots! Jouez avec la racine des mots et visionnez des vidéos pour mieux comprendre des concepts en histoire...

Avec ses 30 racines illustrées, ses 10 vidéos ludiques et ses activités variées, la ressource Filon vise à familiariser les étudiants et étudiantes avec les racines des mots et à favoriser une meilleure compréhension de concepts courants dans la discipline histoire, et en sciences humaines plus généralement.

Filon s’organise autour de quatre terrains de jeu »:

-Former des mots (découvrir les 30 racines communes)
-Découper des mots (reconnaître les racines dans des mots proposés)
-Visionner des vidéos (l'évolution historique de certains mots)*
-Trouver les mots (décliner les termes vus et chercher d'autres)

*Une des vidéos traite de l'histoire coloniale et ainsi de l'étymologie de certains termes parmi la multitude de mots autochtones qui ont infiltré les langues européens.

Les matériaux sont aussi disponibles sous form de documents téléchargeables.

« Étudier l’étymologie, c’est étudier l’histoire, et étudier l’histoire, c’est étudier les mots.»

Teachers can feel overwhelmed when faced with students who are unmotivated to learn. The task becomes less daunting, though, when teachers realize that they can boost student motivation in five important ways: by (1) making positive changes to the learning environment, (2) fostering a sense of community in the classroom, (3) enhancing the interest of classroom activities, (4) responding to individual learning challenges, and (5) building in additional outcomes/pay-offs for learning. Here are some ideas:

This resource will provide you with information if you are already doing Personalized Learning, or all you need to get started with Personalized Learning in your classroom.
It provides 5 clear strategies to apply each week. It provides an excellent instructional model and a wealth of resources.

Challenge first graders with math problems that will help them master first-grade math skills! In first grade, students learn about money, time, measurements, and patterns. Building a solid number sense is important for students in this age range. First graders learn to recognize patterns and sort objects by color, shape, and function. They will also learn to recognize and differentiate between two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric shapes like squares, triangles, cones, and cylinders. By the end of first grade, students should be able to count to one hundred by ones, twos, fives, and tens. They will also be introduced to the concepts of more and less, and have an opportunity to work with simple graphs.

Now that your child has mastered numbers and counting, it's time to take things to the next level with our first-grade math worksheets! Keep students' math minds sharp with daily first-grade math and critical thinking practice worksheets as well as daily homework and practice pages. Weekly word problems, first-grade algebra and geometry, counting and comparing numbers, and introduction to addition are just some of the engaging, no-prep first-grade math worksheets available on this page.

The Indian Residential Schools and Reconciliation Teacher Resource Guides for grades 5, 10 and 11/12 were developed by the First Nations Education Steering Committee and the First Nations Schools Association. They are our response to the call by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada for education bodies to develop age-appropriate educational materials about Indian Residential Schools.

It is our hope that these resources will help students of all cultural backgrounds gain an understanding of the history of the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people over Canada’s history, with a focus on the BC experience. The materials are also designed to engage young people to take part in the journey of reconciliation.

A video on the home page does a great job of describing the who, what, and why of the resources.

Les fonctions exécutives représentent l’ensemble des processus cognitifs qui aident les élèves à réguler leurs pensées, leurs actions et leurs émotions, ainsi qu’à s’adapter à un environnement changeant. Elles donnent aux élèves l’occasion de se fixer des objectifs et de les réaliser et, par conséquent, elles jouent un rôle crucial dans le développement des habiletés sociales et cognitives chez les élèves, ainsi que dans celui des apprentissages scolaires, et ce, de la petite enfance jusqu’à l’âge adulte.
