One of the cooler things they
offer is Illuminations.
Yes, yes… It’s an American website, with core standards
instead of curriculum expectations, quoted prices including one dollar bills
and pennies instead of loonies and toonies.
But! The ideas are there for
free, and they apply to us Canucks in the same way they do for those Yanks.
Illuminations offers materials by
grade groupings. Seeing that this is a
grade 7 and 8 course, you’d probably want to search for intermediate materials.
Right?
Wrong.
What about those students working
at lower grade levels on IEPs? Well,
there’s something there for them too.
It’s like a math market with combos!
Talk about differentiating!
What’s on the menu?
An instructional plan, objectives
and standards, materials lists, ideas for extensions and assessments, questions
and reflections and a heaping side of related resources.
You might be wondering if all of
this is available on the value menu.
Well fear not my friends in math, it’s all there for the taking for
FREE!
Yes, I said free. No cost associated at all.
So what are you waiting for?

Great post!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea, the idea of the site being like a math market is prefect for the diverse classroom. I think as teachers, it becomes challenging to create problems for students who are not on an IEP and then another task to create worksheets and tests for students who are on an IEP. I think it would be beneficial for teachers to explore this site and get some ideas that could be implemented in the classroom
Thanks for sharing !
