This is a general collection of math resources. It is a large collection, but you can use the fliters on the left side of the screen to filter down to the specific education level you are looking for. (You are encouraged to filter by education level, not grade.)
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about solving for elapsed time in a sequence of events - word problems.
There is a non-mathematical fact that students must know about mixtures in order to answer this question. When salt is dissolved in water, the salt disperses evenly through the mixture, so any sample from the mixture that has the same volume will have the same amount of salt.
The purpose of this task is to show how the ideas in the RP and EE domains in 6th and 7th grade mature in 8th grade.
In this activity students become familiar with the math vocabulary more/less/same and most/least as they count and compare small groups.
This activity builds on Sort and Count I. It also helps students become familiar with the math vocabulary more/less/same and most/least as they sort, count, and compare small groups of objects.
This simulation lets you see sound waves. Adjust the frequency or volume and you can see and hear how the wave changes. Move the listener around and hear what she hears.
The purpose of this task is to have students compute and interpret an expected value, and then use the information provided by the expected value to make a decision. The task is designed to encourage students to communicate their findings in a non-technical form in context.

This is a booklet containing 31 problem sets that involve a variety of math skills, including scientific notation, simple algebra, and calculus. Each set of problems is contained on one page. Learners will use mathematics to explore varied space science topics including black holes, ice on Mercury, a mathematical model of the Sun's interior, sunspots, the heliopause, and coronal mass ejections, among many others.
This collection of activities is based on a weekly series of space science mathematics problems distributed during the 2012-2013 school year. They were intended for students looking for additional challenges in the math and physical science curriculum in grades 5 through 12. The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of modern science and engineering issues, often involving actual research data. The problems were designed to be one-pagers with a Teacher‰Ûªs Guide and Answer Key as a second page.
This is a booklet containing 87 problem sets that involve a variety of math skills, including scale, geometry, graph analysis, fractions, unit conversions, scientific notation, simple algebra, and calculus. Each set of problems is contained on one page. Learners will use mathematics to explore varied space science topics in the areas of Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics, among many others. This booklet can be found on the Space Math@NASA website.
This book presents 49 space-related math problems published weekly on the SpaceMath@NASA site during the 2011-2012 academic year. The problems utilize information, imagery, and data from various NASA spacecraft missions that span a variety of math skills in pre-algebra and algebra.
This is a series of three webpages about how humans and computers communicate. Learners will explore the binary and hexidecimal systems and how engineers use them to translate spacecraft data into images.
This is a booklet containing 96 mathematics problems involving skills relating to algebra, fractions, graph analysis, geometry, measurement, scale, calculus, and other topics. Learners will use mathematics to explore NASA science and space exploration content relating to space weather, the study of the Sun and its interactions with Earth. Each problem or problem set is introduced with a brief paragraph about the underlying science, written in a simplified, non-technical jargon where possible. Problems are often presented as a multi-step or multi-part activities, and there are problem sets for learners in grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. This booklet can be found on the Space Math@NASA website.
How we personalized it? What needed to be changed and why?
We went to Loreburn to experience their personalized math program first hand and loved it. On the return drive home to Eaton, we decided to make the commitment to personalize math for our students.
We made this decision because we noticed that students were not engaged and their attitudes towards math were negative; math was either “too difficult”, “too easy”, or they were just
going through the motions. We found that students had gaps in both their math knowledge
and skills and that the gaps were in a variety of places. In order to fill those gaps in a
meaningful way, as well as for students to continue their math journey by earning their
knowledge, we chose implement a personalized or blended learning approach.
The purpose of this task is to allow students to demonstrate an ability to construct boxplots and to use boxplots as the basis for comparing distributions. The solution should directly compare the center, spread, and shape of the two distributions and comment on the high outlier in the northbound data set.
The purpose of this task is to present students with a context that can naturally be represented with an inequality and to explore the relationship between the context and the mathematical representation of that context; thus, this is an intended as an instructional task.
Spotter is a program that lets students check their answers to math and science questions. It handles symbolic as well as numerical answers. The software is free and open source.
