nrich.maths.org This is a student-centered website that covers fairly fundamental concepts of math. Though the concepts are fundamental, this website has activities that expand on them in more depth. An instructor can use this website by projecting the problems/visuals on the board and having students work through them. Because the problems are tiered (follow up questions progressively get more and more in depth), the instructor can expose successive tiers as students work through them. Students who are always asking “Why?” will benefit from this website as it takes ordinary concepts and expands on them. [] This website is used solely for instructors…students would never use this website. Here, teachers can find resources for mathematics organized by grade level or by subject (data analysis, algebra, functions, etc.). Resources include multiple pre-arranged lesson plans with examples, templates, rubrics, discussion concepts, assessment tools, and alignment with particular mathematics concepts. NCTM Illuminations The website contains categories for all grade levels from K-12. It is both student centered and teacher centered containing games and activities for students and lessons and assessments for teachers. NCTM Illuminations supports particular students through the use of visual aids and various activities and games reinforcing math concepts. This site can enhance teacher strategies by using different ways to explain math concepts, whether it be a lesson plan or visual aid. Balanced Assessments (MARS) This website includes all grade level math concepts and all math topic specialties. It is basically a teacher centered website covers different forms of assessments for your students. The website also includes rubrics and multiple solutions to the assessments.
