Show Me Your Math is a program that invites Aboriginal Students in Atlantic Canada to explore the mathematics that is evident in their own community and cultural practices. Through exploring aspects of counting, measuring, locating, designing, playing, and explaining, students discover that mathematics is all around them and is connected to many of the cultural practices in their own communities.

The "Let's Learn Together" section of the website offers information and videos on:
- Eels
- Quill Boxes and Quill Work
- Beadwork
- Birch Bark Biting
- Indigenous Languages
- Paddle Making

Other resources are coming soon.

This resource explores how we can leverage what we know about Structured Literacy to improve mathematics instruction. A playlist of videos and reflection questions are provided for "The Big 5" of every math class, including:Cumulative mixed reviewStrategy instruction (mental math, number talks)Explicit Instruction including the whyTargetted & mixed practiceRegular reflection & assessment (including The Friday 5)

The following modules are available for download:

*Module 1 - Multi-Level Instruction - Planning for Student Diversity

This video includes information on new ways to handle differentiation on Mathletics.
4 minutes long.

Mathletics is a powerful tool or weapon of “mass instruction”. This session will show you how to use Mathletics to identify which outcomes your students are currently meeting, and where there are gaps in their learning.  This outcome specific information can be provided for the class overall and each individual student by using the assessments available in Mathletics.  Mathletics can also be used to help fill those learning gaps by using differentiation, and using the information from student activities to group students for small group instruction based on their results from activities.  Come and learn how to put this amazing tool to work for you and your students this year.

"The Visible LearningTM research base is the culmination of his quest over the past 25 years to answer this question and represents more than 1,600 meta-analyses comprising more than 96,000 studies involving more than 300 million students around the world.

Through the Visible LearningTM research, John Hattie has identified more than 250 factors that influence student achievement. He then set about calculating a score or “effect size” for each, according to its bearing on student achievement. The average effect size of these 250 factors was 0.4, a marker that can be shown to represents an (average) year’s growth per year of schooling for a student. Any factor that has an effect size above 0.4 has an even greater positive effect on student learning.

Each of these factors have been categorized into one of nine domains

StudentFactors relating to background, beliefs, and physical influences
Home Factors relating to family resources, structure, and environment
School Factors related to school-type, pre-school, school composition, and leadership
Classroom Factors related to class composition, giftedness, and classroom influences
Teacher Factors relating to teacher attributes, teacher-student interactions, and teacher education
Curricula Factors related to various curricula programs
Student Learning Strategies Factors relating to self-regulation, student perspectives, and learning strategies
Teaching Strategies Factors relating to learning intentions, success criteria, feedback, and teaching strategies
Technology, School, and Out-Of-School StrategiesFactors relating to technology, school-wide methods, and out of school learning"

White Rose Math is a teacher group which offers math training and resources, including lesson plans and ideas. The resources on the site are meant for parents and teachers. The content is organized by grade level based on the British system. The White Rose Maths Team has prepared a series of maths lessons for each year group from Year 1-8. Every lesson comes with an answer key and a short video showing the teacher or parent clearly and simply how to help the child to complete the activity successfully.

For students K-8.

This excellent video about Math Anxiety examines a variety of topics including: the cause of math anxiety, the impact it has working memory and learning, and how we can try to reduce this anxiety.

This video was watched as part of Sun West's "Math the Big Picture" PD, as part of "The Big 5". This is important to consider when setting the stage for learning.

Teachers completed an activity where they created a "Top 10 Ways to Squash Math Anxiety" list. You can find this handout in the PD resource by copying and pasting this web address into a browser. https://resourcebank.ca/authoring/3212-math-at-sun-west-professional-learning-day-1

If you watch this video on your own there are questions on the right to help you think, dig deeper and discuss what you see!
