The Michigan School Code requires every local school district to establish a local core curriculum and an aligned instructional program. The MAISA CCRS unit development project included initial unit writing by experienced curriculum writers, piloting in classrooms, and reviews conducted by local and ISD staff across the state.
FREE Real World Math Problems for Homeschool I’ve found that math can get rather boring if all you do is learn a problem style and then do a page of problems with that style, so lately I’ve been on the hunt for some free real world math problems that would stimulate curiosity in the kids. Here are my favorite sites that I’ve found with FREE problems. Source: cityyandcolour.tumblr.com via Nicole on Pinterest Figure This! This site has about 80 different Challenges that you can choose based on mathematical skill set necessary. We haven’t used these yet, but they are on our to try list. Franklin Institute This site has quite a few different types of problems ranging from Melting Pot Math to Toothpick Puzzles. Real World Math: Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum They have lessons based on concepts, project based learning, space, and more.

common core resources /mathematical content standards /standards by grade /8th grade / Problems of the Month: Non-routine problems designed to be used schoolwide to promote a problem-solving theme. Each problem is divided into five levels of difficulty, Level A (primary) through Level E (high school). The problems are aligned to the Common Core standards. Learn more here. Performance assessment tasks: Grade-level formative performance assessment tasks with accompanying scoring rubrics and discussion of student work samples. Classroom videos: Videos of public lessons and number talks, most based on performance assessment tasks, that have been extensively field-tested in multiple settings and refined over time. Dana Center early mathematics tasks: A series of instructional tasks, aligned with the Common Core standards, that teachers can use to instruct grades pre-K through grade 2. Please note that not all types of resources are available at every grade.
Great Maths Teaching Ideas The Standards Unit are a collection of resources produced in response to the Smith Report by the Department for Education and Skills. They use ‘active learning’ strategies that were originally planned for use post-16 but have now been introduced into the secondary sector. The well known Dr Malcom Swann of Nottingham University played a big role in the development of the resources that span the whole secondary maths curriculum. I personally use these resources a lot and consider them to promote high levels of mathematical thought and making connections between topics. If you would like to purchase a hard copy of the Standards Unit you can from the NCETM website. Enjoy! Mostly Number N1 Ordering fractions and decimals N2 Evaluating statements about number operations N3 Rounding numbers N4 Estimating length, using standard form N5 Understanding laws of arithmetic N6 Developing proportional reasoning N7 Using percentages to increase quantities N8 Using directed numbers in context N12 Using indices
Building Bridges This lesson assists teachers in building a bridge between their current instructional goals and new goals that emphasize an earlier introduction to algebraic thinking. In the activities which follow, we illustrate an approach to algebraic thinking that is based on an extension of problem-solving tasks typically investigated by elementary and middle school students. Problem Tasks Pose the following question to students. They may work individually or in groups, depending on their needs. Note that the task is completed once the single solution has been determined. When a different question is posed, however, problems like the one above can be used as a bridge to further mathematical thinking. Read the following problem to your students. As you discuss this new problem with your students, ask them the following questions: How is this question similar to the original Hamburger Problem? The posing of a new question does not guarantee a change in students' thinking. Where Do You Go from Here?

Problem Solving Lesson Plan: The Quandary Game | BrainPOP Educators Preparation: This lesson plan is centered around the online game Quandary. In Quandary, players make difficult decisions that have no clear right or wrong answers, but important consequences – to themselves, to others in the colony, and to the planet Braxos. In their interactions with other settlers in the futuristic colony, players must consider facts, opinions and solutions, just as in real life. There are four episodes (scenarios) in Quandary. Each episode takes about 10-30 minutes to complete, depending on the speed of the player. On the Quandary Teacher's Page, you can view a 5 minute video showing how Quandary is being used in the classroom. To prepare for game play, print the opinion tracker page and make a class set of photocopies. Extension Activities: Have students explore the other three episodes of the game, either in class or as homework followed by a debriefing session in class.
