This site includes links to various social studies lesson plans broken down by grade level

This is a website that has links to various lesson plans by grade level. I specifically like the car loan activity for an econ class.

This website has multiple forms of resources for all content areas. Also, there are links to resources involving 21st century skills, college and career-readiness, English language learners, and special education. 

This website has an online Jeopardy game that can either be played as a single-player game or a 2-player game. Once the students enter in their names, a jeopardy board pops up with review questions regarding solving basic equations, two-step equations, equations with variables on both sides, mixture equations, and literal equations. Great technology resource that could be used for review. 

This is an activity that could be done during Algebra. The essential question being answered is: How can using elimination or substitution in a system of equations determine important statistics in sports? This could be an activity that helps getting students interested in sports involved in the lesson. 

This website has several worksheets that could be used in a Mathematics classroom. There are numerous categories of worksheets, along with multiple forms of the same type of worksheet. This could be useful if you wanted to give different forms of worksheets out to the students or if a student needed more review on the topic, you could easily pull up another worksheet for practice. 

This page is taken from a 'Teaching Math' blog. The specific entry is an idea that teachers could use to integrate a project into their unit that includes graphing linear equations. The students drew an animal with only straight lines and then had to determine the appropriate equation that matched up with the line drawn. 

This website lists the common core standards with a link to each skill that needs to be met. Once the link is pressed, there will be a problem that is given for review and a spot to enter the solution. The website will let you know if you answered the question correctly. If you do happen to miss the question, the website will give you the correct answer along with a short review, things to remember, and the step-by-step solution. This is another great resource for both students and teachers. 

This website has the Common Core standards listed for all levels of math, including both traditional math standards and integrated standards. I can pull the standards up one at a time and look at a description and example of what the standard is asking for. 

Learn NC has a large selection of lesson plans to search through. There is a way to search through a toolbar, and there is also a section to browse lesson plans that are assorted by key words. This is a good resource for any content area teacher. 

This is a website with downloadable apps for your smartphone. The apps give almost every type of situation with behavior management and how to handle them. The author had a card system that teachers used for years but now it is an easy app. Not free-but only 1,99. Worth the money.

This would be a good resource to introduce to your AP students or to students that are thinking about taking AP classes. This website has many resources for students including videos and blogs by students that have enrolled and completed AP courses in high school that explain what it takes to be successful in an AP class and on the AP exam. There is also links that help a student understand how AP courses in high school can help with college and what college majors and careers can AP courses help the student with. There is a link for practice questions for all AP courses, including multiple choice and free response, at the bottom of the page. 

These lesson plans are meant to be fun and interactive for the students. Some can be done as a cooperative learning activity, some are more focused on inidividual work, and some are online activities that can be submitted and checked for accuracy online. 

This is another website that can help give ideas about how to integrate other subjects into the math lesson plans. 

This is a great website to connect 21st century skills to classroom learning by setting up interactive projects for the students to complete. 

This page give ideas and lessons involving the integration of math and other subjects in the classroom. 

These activities include many interactive options to get students involved in their learning. Some seem like they would be very beneficial to do during class. 

This is another website that contains lesson plans in Mathematics, along with other content areas. Many of them require the students to use a computer or some other form of technology. There are also some lessons with integrated subjects other that math. 

This website gives me good ideas on how to connect what I am teaching in the class to things or ideas that the students encounter on a regular basis. There are many ways to expand the learning in the classroom to outside occurrences.
