"The Problem of the Week is designed to provide students with an ongoing opportunity to solve mathematical problems. Each week, problems from various areas of mathematics will be posted here and e-mailed to teachers for use with their students from grades 3 and up."
This is great way to stretch your mathematical muscle and develop good problem solving skills (Understand, plan, solve, reflect).
Solutions are always provided!
Archives of past questions are also available.

"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!
You can answer questions to build fluency, get tips and step-by-step explanations for problems, and climb the leader boards!
No login required (but you can make an account). Instant feedback and marked in real time!
This clickable grid gives you access to a wide variety of math websites. Explore everything from financial literacy activities to number games and activities for younger children.

Numeracy Tasks are designed to have students interact with mathematics in a way that is meaningful to them and that strengthens their understanding of mathematics and numbers in the world.
Activities are sorted by the following categories:
Primary (k-3)
Intermediate (4-6)
Junior High School (7-9)
Senior High School (10-12)
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.
Find FREE videos, interactives, lesson plans, and more just for teachers like you. Choose from lots of filters that will customize your search so you can find exactly what you're looking for.
Patient Problem Solving is a method of solving problems that you don't
already know how to solve. You are required to ask questions in order to
even start solving the problem. Sometimes those questions are asked of the
teacher, sometimes other students, and sometimes Google. For example,
students are asked to use a ticker tape timer to calculate their speed. First of
all students (and maybe you as the teacher) need to figure out what a ticker
tape timer does. There are a variety of ways to solve these problems, and
creativity will help them get to an answer.

Short Video Resources for Math, Science & Net Safety
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.
