The following is a list of
resources that can be used to provide extra math practice for your
student. We encourage families to
consider homework very carefully, and to consider alternatives such as math
games, cooking/baking, design/engineering/building projects, coding, or other
activities that allow for applied mathematics.
Think about how you might help your student initiate and complete a
project.
Khan Academy - https://www.khanacademy.org/
A great resource
with videos covering just about every topic, even outside of math. Practice problems are provided along with
instructional videos. Students can
create accounts to track their progress and earn badges.
How to use
as homework: Check in
with your student to see what they would like extra practice with or what they
are currently working on in math. Search
and practice in Khan Academy.
Common Core Sheets
- http://www.commoncoresheets.com/
Lots of worksheets,
many of them customizable! Some online
practice available. Sorted by math
subject. Answer keys included.
Illustrative
Mathematics - https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards
Super
cool! Also kind of tough to navigate,
but if you know the standard you're looking to practice, you can head to that
standard and use the practice problems. They're generally good examples of
problems that illuminate the given standard.
Engage NY - https://www.engageny.org/
New York
took advantage of the size of their district and wrote their own
curriculum! It's pretty good and we draw
from it to supplement Math In Focus sometimes.
It's somewhat challenging to navigate, but if you scroll down the page,
you'll see links to the separate curriculum.
Open Middle - http://www.openmiddle.com
The tagline
for this website is "challenging math problems worth solving" and
although students may disagree, the questions posed are much more in-depth and
thought provoking than simple skill-based problems. There are both worksheets
to print as well as individual problems to solve on the computer (with
"hint" as an option). You can navigate based on grade level and then
Common Core Standard category.
NRICH Math - https://nrich.maths.org/
Challenging/brainteaser
style story problems, often posed as "challenges" or sometimes with a
scenario attached (for example, "Code Crackers" type problems so that
students can think of themselves as secret agents). It's a British website, so
the grade levels might not seem familiar, but for any problem there will also
either be a US grade level range identified or an age range identified.
Resources from
Saint Ann's Math Department - https://sites.google.com/a/saintannsny.org/recommended-resources/
Math Problem of the
Week from St. Ann's -
First from
St. Ann's, a resource list! We found this
while looking for the math problems of the week (second link). It's neat because it has print resources and
different ideas for practicing math. We
have no vetted all of these resources.
