TedEd Mathematics Video Archive Dozens of videos on mathematical concepts and quandaries, in the trademark style of TedEd.

Famous Mathematicians Short biographical snippets of over two dozen famous mathematicians. A good place to find a mathematical role model.

Top Ten Female Mathematicians The most famous female mathematicians in history.

Create a Math Scavenger Hunt How to create and run your own math scavenger hunt. Broken down with age and level appropriate suggestions.

– Solved and Unsolved A clearinghouse of solved and unsolved mathematical problems.

Ideas for Remote Math Learning:

• Mindware gives free samples of its math Perplexor books. I love these all the time, but they’re a great go-to. Bonus: the Pinterest board shares cool extreme dot-to-dots and other art activities as well.

  • Everyone knows about Khan Academy, but there are other free resources as well, including MathPlanet for math from pre-Algebra and up. It’s a Swedish site, so they say “maths,” but that’s kind of cute, right?

  • Entire courses are available at Edx, and many are appropriate for secondary students (and advanced elementary students), even though they are college courses.

• iPractice Math offers a beautiful user interface along with its free resources.

• • Focus on developing spatial skills and concepts through geometry and other media.

  • Focus on problem-solving skills with appropriately challenging problems.

  • Use calculators and computers as tools in the problem-solving process.

  • Focus on logic problems that require deductive thinking skills and inference.

  • Emphasize mathematical concepts more and computational skills less.

  • Emphasize applications of mathematics in the real world through the creation of special projects.

  • Emphasize algebraic manipulation.

  • Focus on the use of probability, estimation, statistics, and computer technology.

  • Apply mathematical concepts across the curriculum, for example, by having the child read and report on a book about a famous mathematician, assess the mathematical challenges of planning a Civil War battle, or study a unit on the history of mathematics.

  • Facilitate the child's attendance at career seminars in math.

  • Utilize a diagnostic-prescriptive approach to mathematics that allows the student to move at a fast pace and not be subject to instruction in skills already learned.

  • Begin college preparatory courses as soon as possible.

  • Teach the creative process in mathematics including problem finding and problem-solving.

  • Encourage the student to participate in math-related challenges such as Math Olympics, Math Counts, Virginia Math League and The Great Computer Challenge.

  • Allow students to substitute the 5 most difficult problems in a set for the 10 easiest.

  • Provide manipulatives such as pattern blocks, tangrams, and Cuisenaire rods.

  • Utilize computer-assisted drawing programs.

  • Assist the student in developing her/his own computer programs dealing with problem-solving skills.

  • Provide opportunities for the study of computer technology.
