The purpose of this video tutorial is to review a couple ways in which we think about numbers. Thinking in terms of street numbers, money in bank accounts, and quantum particles (e.g. Bose-Einstein condensate) is contrasted with focusing on associating numbers with distinguishable manipulatives, as is more familiar in K-8 courses. This video concludes with a reminder that the symbol "infinity" is not, itself, a number.

Numeracy is having the confidence and habits of mind to use mathematics to meet the general demands of everyday life. Being a numerate person means using mathematics to make sense of something new and know what mathematics can and cannot do.
Numeracy provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit students the opportunity to discover connections on their own and apply strategies to solve real life problems. Throughout history, First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples have used real life traditional learning contexts to connect to their world.
In the Empowering the Spirit video series, students explore numeracy through Traditional Games, an elementary math class on probability and a high school physics class examining the structure of a tee pee and rocket nozzle.

"The learning resources created for the numeracy project include:
*a document that identifies a big idea in a curricular outcome, questions for classroom instruction for student assessment, sample answers shown concretely, pictorially and symbolically and connecting outcomes;
*reference documents that provide further information or resources;
*additional questions across multiple grades for each big idea found in a progression document; and, short videos.
The numeracy project is a curriculum, instruction and assessment support for mathematics. The learning supports are aligned directly to Saskatchewan curricular outcomes."
Select the grade from the menu on the left to explore available documents. I suggest starting by watching the supporting video provided below the documents. The video provides background and information about the documents.
Select Progressions on the menu on the left to explore by theme. (Coming soon)

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)

"A small group of dedicated volunteers organized a Virtual OAME conference in May, 2020, FREE of charge, and open to ALL educators. The Virtual OAME conference includes pre-recorded sessions to view on-demand, as well as a set of live sessions from Wednesday to Saturday, May 6th - 9th, 2020, which will also be recorded.
These recordings are now freely available."
There are some amazing sessions available here on demand related to Mathematics education.

The primary purpose of this task is to illustrate that the domain of a function is a property of the function in a specific context and not a property of the formula that represents the function. Similarly, the range of a function arises from the domain by applying the function rule to the input values in the domain. A second purpose would be to illicit and clarify a common misconception, that the domain and range are properties of the formula that represent a function.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate obtuse angles (those between 90 and 180 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially obtuse) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the three types of triangle: acute, obtuse and right. The applet shows a triangle that is initially obtuse (one angle greater than 90 degrees) which the user can reshape by dragging any vertex. There is a message changes in real time while the triangle is being dragged that tells if the triangle is an acute, right or obtuse triangle and gives the reason why. By experimenting with the triangle student can develop an intuitive sense of the difference between these three classes of triangle. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a octagon (8 sided polygon). The applet shows an octagon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular octagon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the octagon. The web page lists the properties of an octagon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles. Links to pages with generalized properties of all polygons. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

In this task, students are able to conjecture about the differences and similarities in the two groups from a strictly visual perspective and then support their comparisons with appropriate measures of center and variability. This will reinforce that much can be gleaned simply from visual comparison of appropriate graphs, particularly those of similar scale.

The lesson begins by introducing Olympics as the unit theme. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to the techniques of engineering problem solving. Specific techniques covered in the lesson include brainstorming and the engineering design process. The importance of thinking out of the box is also stressed to show that while some tasks seem impossible, they can be done. This introduction includes a discussion of the engineering required to build grand, often complex, Olympic event centers.

Students use three tracks marked on the floor, one in yards, one in feet and one in inches. As they start and stop a robot specific distances on a "runway," they can easily determine the equivalent measurements in other units by looking at the nearby tracks. With this visual and physical representation of the magnitude of the units of feet, yard and inches, students gain an understanding of what is meant by "unit conversion." They also gain a familiarity with different common units of measurement. They use multiplication and division to verify their physical estimated unit conversions. Students also learn about how common and helpful it is to convert from one unit to another in everyday situations and for engineering purposes. This activity helps students make the abstract concept of unit conversion real so they develop mental models of the magnitude of units instead of applying memorized conversion factors by rote.

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.

The purpose of this task is to help solidify students' understanding of signed numbers as points on a number line and to understand the geometric interpretation of adding and subtracting signed numbers.
