Adding resources as introduced by Erma during the MS Math meeting 

Great resources for PBL in math

"Inspire your math students with brand new, original content from PBS including Peg + Cat, I

Very exciting - Wolfram organized by Common Core Standards Wolfram Education Portal, organized by course. In the portal you'll find a dynamic textbook, lesson plans, widgets, interactive Demonstrations, and more built by Wolfram education experts. You can take a look at the types of materials we offer below, but to get full access to all materials, you need to sign up for a free account.

An interesting take on Khan Academy...  a reminder that no particular tech tool or resource should be viewed as a "silver bullet' 

A new games-based maths teaching resource

great common core resource

Many students begin school with a love of math, but stumble when they reach algebra. With the increasing prevalence of mobile learning, though, on-demand apps and resources can help students stay on top of their algebra lessons. Here, we've gathered a handful of algebra apps summarized on APPitic.com, an app resource site with more than 6,000 apps in more than 300 subcategories.

"Illustrative Mathematics provides guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation of the standards."

Math reinforcement for all grades...

The Problem Generator - which is available to all Wolfram Alpha Pro subscribers now - creates random practice questions for students, and Wolfram Alpha then helps them find the answers step-by-step. Right now, the Generator covers six subjects: arithmetic, number theory, algebra, calculus, linear algebra and statistics. The difficulty of the questions can be tuned down for students in elementary school and tuned up for those in college calculus classes. As the company notes in today's announcements, the material for students in elementary and secondary schools closely follows the Common Core Standards initiative.

Looks like some good resources for kids. They are free online books with videos and examples of typical math topics organized by subject.
