Illustrative Mathematics — Every grade level is easily accessed with standards displayed. Each CCSS is exemplified with an easy to use activity which could be used as the basis for in-class work in a flipped classroom. Here is how I picture it being used: 1. At home: students watch a short video lesson or try guided discovery/activity. 2. In school: students work together or alone on an activity from illustrative math or yummy math aligned to the supporting lesson or activity they did at home which supports the standard being learned. The files from Illustrative math can be converted to word documents using www.fileminx.com in order to make them editable.
