The Classtime website has problems and lesson plans that Scott Houston of Educators Co-op and myself have prepared and are ready to use. There is also an extensive library to choose from from other educators.

Scott Houston, from Educators Co-op, has put together remote lesson plans for grades 2 - 6. These lessons have video introductions and revolve around strategic thinking with in various standards.

Prepared Strategic Thinking Questions (3rd - 6th)
Prepared Strategic Thinking Questions (3rd - 6th)
I have been putting together short 3 to 4 question quizzes designed to determine if the students are struggling with the content/discrete skill or the strategic thinking involved to answer the questions. These are the questions found in the Mathematical Mindset Newsletter (see tab at the top of site).

MLC grew out of a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to improve the teaching of mathematics.
These apps are based on the visual models featured in Bridges in Mathematics. All apps are available in two or more versions: a web app for all modern browsers, and downloadable versions for specific operating systems and devices (such as Apple iOS for iPad).
Sharing in an app allows educators to pose problems and investigations for students using an 8-character code or link. Students can share their thinking with their teachers and classmates.

Also, It does more than just make area models! You can have students compare fractions, work with expressions, graph the slope intercept, games and much more! Check it out.
Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.
Open Middle
Open Middle
The name “Open Middle” might sound like a strange name for a website about math problems. However, it references a very specific type of problem we try to encourage here.
an “open middle” meaning that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem.
Open middle problems generally require a higher Depth of Knowledge than most problems that assess procedural and conceptual understanding. They support the Common Core State Standards and provide students with opportunities for discussing their thinking.
