Best Practices in Education Mathematics Resources National Council of Teachers of Mathematics The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is the premier source of mathematics education materials for teachers of grades K-12. NCTM offers the standards and a wide range of supporting books, journals, electronic materials, and activity books. Of particular interest should be their Navigation series, activity books keyed to strands and grades (e.g., probability for grades 3 through 5). This group has developed a large collection of innovative mathematics assessment tasks for grades K to 12, and trained teachers to use these assessments in their classrooms. The library of over 300 mathematics assessment tasks developed during the project remains freely available through this web site. Teachers may use these materials in their own classrooms at no cost. An excellent sources of performance assessments and open-ended problems by grade levels with specific rubrics. Mathematics Learning and Teaching (MLT) MLT's project work focuses on mathematics content, classroom pedagogy and assessment, district and state standards, and effective roles for technology in mathematics education. The Show-Me Center provides information and resources needed to support selection and implementation of standards-based middle grades mathematics curricula. Curricular Options in Mathematics Programs for All Secondary Students assists schools, teachers, administrators, parent groups, and other community members and constituencies interested in improving secondary school mathematics opportunities and experiences for their students. The Center for The Study of Mathematics Curriculum The CSMC Mathematics curriculum - what it should be, what it is, how it is organized and sequenced, how it is taught, and what students learn - is the core around which mathematics education revolves. It is the mathematics of mathematics education. National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Accomplished teachers who are ready to seek national certification can learn about the rigorous one-year process, find out the benefits of a successful review in their own state, and find a support group at the website of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Great list of website resources for K-12 mathematics teachers. Cynthia Lanius’ Fun Fun Fun mathematics lessons for all ages and mathematics topic areas. Ask Dr. Math and the Math Forum. Math challenges for K-5 learners. Mega Math from Los Alamos National Laboratory. A national resource for computational science education. National Library of Virtual Manipulatives The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) is an NSF supported project that began in 1999 to develop a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (K-12 emphasis).
