Aiken, SC resources for technology infused into CCSS

"Mathigon provides a series of free, interactive, online courses that are designed to complement 6th grade through college level mathematics instruction. The website was founded by Philipp Legner, who studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and mathematics education at the London School of Economics. Legner, who currently works at Google, wanted to design a website that enabled learners to examine mathematics concepts by actively engaging in problem solving. Each course explains key concepts and skills through a series of short explanations, helpful visualizations, problem sets, and quizzes. Learners receive feedback as they work their way through each course. Visitors to this website can find courses by browsing through the course library, which sorts available courses by grade level (6-9; 10-12; College, Fun and More) and by topic (Geometry; Functions and Equations; Probability and Statistics; Calculus and Mechanics; Applied Mathematics, etc.)."

Great post summarizing many of the things we should strive for our students to learn, and some great resources for that.

I found this website that has multiple activities with fractions.  It includes the materials needed for the activities and instructions.  It lists extensions and assessment ideas.  It also has a listing of books about fractions.  It even contains links to other websites where students can play fraction games.  (And I only had trouble accessing one of the links.)

This site provides an extensive collection of free resources, math games, and handson math activities aligned with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Our math printables are suitable for use in math centers, small group or whole class settings. Instructions for each activity are presented in large print on a task card in child-friendly language to enable students to work on tasks independently after a brief introduction to the task. All materials and activities on the site are designed to support the Common Core State Standards and are based on the belief that effective mathematical learning is best achieved when students are given frequent opportunities to develop their own problem solving strategies, to pose questions, and to engage in mathematical inquiry through the use of open-ended tasks.

As far as I can tell, doesn't really instruct, but it was fun and has ominous music.
