We've created Yummy Math to provide teachers with an easy way to bring real-life into their math classrooms. It is our belief that when math is explored in contexts that are familiar and of interest to students, students will be more engaged to do math, reason, think critically, question and communicate.  Our activities are written to correspond with the NCTM Process Standards and the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Elementary school mathematics teachers, parents, youth librarians, and after-school teachers, may be interested in this collection of 25 online educational math games. Arranged by grade level and topic, these games provide an engaging way for youth to practice and review a number of math skills and concepts. These skills include recognizing numbers, calculating equivalent fractions, and understanding the four basic operations. Each of these games is designed for young learners to play on their own, making this website a possible option for students who finish assignments before their classmates. This website is created and maintained by Funbrain, a children's educational website that is part of the Family Education Network. [

Inside Mathematics provides a resource for educators to provide the best mathematics instruction they can for their students. Our classroom doors have remained closed too often and for too long. This work grew out of the Noyce Foundation's Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative. SVMI is based on high performance expectations, ongoing professional development, examining student work, and improved math instruction. The initiative includes a formative and summative performance assessment system, pedagogical content coaching, and leadership training and networks.
