Open Middle (TM)

(View Complete Item Description)

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.

This emphasis, plus the "Extensions'' and related activities included with individual activities/projects, provide ample scope for all students' interests and ability levels. Related "Family Activities'' can be used to involve the students' parents/caregivers. Each book is intended to occupy about one week of daily classes. However, teachers may choose to take extra time to explore the activities and extensions in more depth. The books have been designed for specific grades, but need not be so restricted.
