The Mathematics Assessment Project is part of the Math Design Collaborative initiated by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project set out to design and develop well-engineered tools for formative and summative assessment that expose students' mathematical knowledge and reasoning, helping teachers guide them towards improvement and monitor progress. The tools are relevant to any curriculum that seeks to deepen students' understanding of mathematical concepts and develop their ability to apply that knowledge to non-routine problems.

At this site, the California Department of Education (CDE), California Mathematics Council (CMC), California Mathematics Project (CMP), and CCSESA's Mathematics Subcommittee of the Curriculum and Instruction Steering Committee (CISC) join together to provide needed information to California's teachers on California's Version of the Common Core Content Standards Mathematics (CaCCSS-M).

The goal of these materials is to illustrate how Common Core aligned math tasks can be used to support math instruction and language development for ELLs at three grade spans (elementary, middle, and high school). We used or adapted tasks from two publicly accessible curriculum projects, Inside Mathematics and Mathematics Assessment Project.

Seeing Theory is a beautiful interactive website that aims to make statistics accessible to a wide range of students. The method? Interactive visualizations. The project brings to life fundamental concepts (Basic Probability, Compound Probability, Distributions, Statistical Inference, and Regression) covered in most introductory college or Advanced Placement (AP) statistics classes. Visualizations are broken down by categories and are accompanied by additional information about the method and data that they demonstrate.
