Recommended Resources for Extended Instruction at Home

All of the following links feature resources and tasks that are well-designed, but require more time and adult help:

Would You Rather: Well designed, visual problem tasks that allow students to choose and justify mathematically.

Jo Boaler’s You Cubed: These are challenging, engaging and well-explained tasks. Wonderful for small group or whole-class exploration.

SD43 Computation Tasks: Need to teach multiplication, division or fractions? These were created to build up a solid foundation of understanding through hands-on, minds-on tasks. They feature teaching of key vocabulary (division, in particular) and lead students through greater levels of abstraction (from concrete to standard algorithms).

Graham Fletcher’s Three Act Tasks: visual, accessible and engaging. Particularly great for whole class or small group discussion.

University of Waterloo’s Math Resources (grades 3-8): featuring excellent, challenging Problems of the Week. Please note that these are word problems and can be stressful, particularly for ELL and supported learners. We recommend adult guidance to keep enjoyment levels high.
