Alcumus: The Art of Problem SolvingAlcumus is specifically designed to provide high-performing students with a challenging curriculum appropriate to their abilities. Many of the problems are from major national math competitions such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, the American Mathematics Competitions, and the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing competitions. As the student gets stronger, Alcumus automatically provides more challenging material, and conversely, if the student is having difficulty with a particular topic, Alcumus provides additional practice. |

Fact fluency for Addition & SubtractionStudents must first conceptually understand the fact strategies (doubles, doubles plus one, combinations of ten, etc) BEFORE focusing on fluency and speed. Once the strategies are firmly in place, students can then begin to focus on fluency and speed. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2Xj1ul5LBQHbDBReHIyMDRXSTA |

Inside MathematicsThese Problems of the Month are organized by grade level and main topic for that level. These grade‐level expectations are just estimates and should not be used as an absolute minimum expectation or maximum limitation for students. The structure of a Problem of the Month is a low floor and a high ceiling, so that all students can productively engage, struggle, and persevere. http://www.insidemathematics.org/problems-of-the-month/download-problems-of-the-month |
K-5 Math Teaching ResourcesThis site provides several engaging sample lessons for each standard at each grade level from K to 5. |
