Math Resources for Creative, Time-Crunched Teachers

If everything in the school was perfect, teaching would still be a highly demanding job.  But, we teach in the real world where even the good administrators pile on busy work, there are countless meetings, demanding parents, and plenty of students with real-world issues beyond our capacity to cure.  On top of all of that, we still have to teach.  

Many of the resources provided to you have most likely never been used in a classroom by the authors.  The author tries to make it engaging, but it’s either too playful, at the expense of rigor, or too formal which makes it inaccessible to students.  So, you need to source or create your own materials!  Without quality materials kids not only don’t learn and stay engaged, they also start to act out.  It can be a nightmare.

On Teaching Math is built to help.  Our resources are classroom-tested and revised, engaging and yet comprehensive, and super easy for you, the teacher, to use.  We do not just provide practice sets, or assessments, or lessons, though stand-alone resources can be found here.  Our materials are designed to be used as an entire unit.  It begins with engaging lessons that work hand-in-glove with structured, guided notes.  Students then work on practice problems that blend developing procedural fluency with opportunities to develop problem-solving skills.  Aligned with these resources will be a short assessment that can be given to see how students have progressed.  Best of all, all resources are both digital (and often self-grading), and physical copies.  So, no matter the technology you have access to, or school structure you work within, we’ve got you covered.
