Tasks/Activities
Silicon Valley Math Initiative (login info for SLUSD members here): large library of resources including performance tasks & Problems of the Month (POM), curriculum & instructional tools, summative & formative assessments, and professional learning opportunities.
Desmos: free suite of math tools, including a Graphing Calculator, to help people represent their ideas mathematically, connect different representations dynamically, make conjectures, and then develop entirely new ideas.
Open Middle (K-12): a different approach to practicing for fluency and supporting number sense
Math Assessment Project: tools for formative and summative assessment that expose students’ mathematical knowledge and reasoning, helping teachers guide them towards improvement and monitor progress. The tools are relevant to any curriculum that seeks to deepen students' understanding of mathematical concepts and develop their ability to apply that knowledge to non-routine problems.
Encourage Discourse and Reasoning
Estimation180: daily estimation activities to develop number sense and reasoning
Esti-Mysteries: a collection of visual puzzles with a gradual release of clues
Splat!: How many dots are beneath the Splat? How do you know? How else could you know? Downloadable, ready to use puzzles to support composition, decomposition, and number sense.
Which One Doesn't Belong: a website dedicated to providing thought-provoking puzzles
Math/Number Talks
Inside Mathematics (Gr1-7 www.insidemathematics.org/classroom-videos/number-talks: Videos and Sample talks)

Math Milestones Math Milestones™ shows the mathematics of each grade level as a set of tasks that fit on one page. Standards and textbooks are dense and extensive, but teachers and students can see the Milestones all at once. The Milestones are a carefully crafted set of tasks that embody the mathematics of each grade, K-8. Each grade’s tasks are a visualization of the grade-level standards in the language of teachers and students.

RadicalMath.org: RadicalMath empowers educators to address issues of social and racial justice in math classrooms through curriculum, lesson planning resources, and professional development opportunities.
Skew The Script: Free Algebra I/II and AP Stats lessons that explore "off script" problems--authentic, real-world problems that don’t have one solution—using mathematical reasoning.
Social Justice Math topic/resource list: Looking to integrate social and economic justice issues in your classroom and not sure where to start? Once you survey your students to gather their interest and experiences, use this list (created by a local MS teacher to support her own practice) to narrow down a potential context for a math task or problem.
