teaching resources
A wonderful online calculator resource from Desmos
|
A link to a website with a variety of activities suitable for your math classes (Common Core Standards included)
|
A time-lapse movie I created that describes how we can get several points on the Unit Circle
|
|
A game that uses your students' knowledge of functions
|
This is a lesson plan designed by Khan Academy and Stanford University's applied research center on academic mindsets. This includes some activities to help students understand that intelligence can be developed with effort
|
Students can record what's happening on the screen as a way of teaching their classmates
|
From the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
|
Problems from the math curriculum and Phillips Exeter Academy. You will discover that algebra, geometry, and trigonometry have been integrated into a mathematical whole. The curriculum is problem-centered, rather than topic-centered. Techniques and theorems will become apparent as you work through the problems, and you will need to keep appropriate notes for your records. Be forewarned: there are no boxes containing important theorems!
|
An online tool teachers can use to formatively assess students' understanding of the content. Simply create an assessment, either from scratch or from a file upload, and have your students login using your class' code.

Dan Meyer's (see video below) blog contains many useful resources for your math classrooms in order to develop "more patient problem-solvers"
A resource provided by Jo Boaler in which she offers videos and sample lesson plans on problem solving, a growth mindset, and more.
