Math in movie scenes.  This can be a prompt for kids to make their own stories around math problems!

Hey Rhys, I'm facilitating a PD today on integrating video into the classroom and I think I'll share this link with my teachers. Thanks for the share!

Check out this article about Lure of the Labyrinth a middle school math problem solving game. This is getting great reviews.

Interactive Math exercises

Real world math. Pass it on!

Each math activitiy has an interactive aspect and an accompanying video

Not sure if anyone has seen this. Great middle school example.

Two schools TMS has worked with were profiled by the Teaching Channel in this video that unpacks the Common Core Standards for elementary schools. Funny that they mention "technology" being integrated throughout the standards, but their example is of teachers watching videos of each other. I happen to know that both schools are doing much more sophisticated work that blends digital media into students' ELA and Math units, but it's not yet on the radar of CCSS evaluators (at least at the time this video was made).

I cam across this website that you might already know of but I wnated to send it just in case you have not seen it. LearnZillion is a learning platform that combines video lessons, assessments, and progress reporting. Each lesson highlights a Common Core standard, starting with math in grades 3-9.

Two business men who are creating education apps and supporting students who are creating education apps have begun "The App Evaluation Program for Schools" which allows teachers to test educational apps for kids for free. "The apps, which cover everything from math, spelling, and reading to language learning, storyboard building, and puzzles, are provided by developers around the world and sent to teachers two or three times per month. Teachers receive a questionnaire after testing the app as a way to help developers improve, but Larsson stresses they are not required to fill it out."

Seems like a nice way for teachers to get new iPad educational apps free to evaluate and then use if they find them valuable

Great math program. Grant only 10 days left

Good Math resource especially for probability runs. Interesting questions too in the "dare to compare" section.
