You Cubed

From Stanford University Mathematics Education Professor, Jo Boaler: "Our main goal is to inspire, educate and empower teachers of mathematics, transforming the latest research on math learning into accessible and practical forms."

Play with Your Math

How can we get our students to play with their math? We take problems that we love, and we adapt them so that everyone (and anyone) can play. We design posters and handouts that hook you visually and explain the problem in just enough words. The problems that we’ve picked require trying, struggling, failing, adjusting, and trying again until, finally, a discovery is made.

Good Problems

Quite simply: A lot of good problems from a lot of good resources. There will be no solutions provided here, but if you follow the link to the source there may be solutions there.

NRICH

NRICH, a project out of the University of Cambridge, seeks to enrich the experience of the mathematics curriculum for all learners, offer challenging and engaging activities, develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills, and show rich mathematics in meaningful contexts.
