Problem solving is the heart of mathematical learning. This site complements existing curricula by providing a resource for teachers who use, or are only beginning to use, a problem-centered approach. This resource will also help parents and tutors support problem-based learning in out-of-school settings.

Great site from the UK (rec by Callie Hoppes)

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.
