Focus on the 8 Mathematical Practices

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

4. Model with mathematics

5. Use appropriate tools strategically

6. Attend to precision

7. Look for and make use of structure

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Parallel Learning

The Parallel Project aims to encourage young mathematicians to explore the world of mathematics by providing a weekly set of challenges that are designed to stretch brains and broaden horizons.

The goal is to help good mathematicians become strong, and to help strong mathematicians become brilliant.

Tackle each Parallelogram in one go. Don’t get distracted. Your score & answer sheet will appear immediately after you hit SUBMIT. Don’t worry if you score less than 50%, because it means you will learn something new when you check the solutions.

Purple Math

These math lessons emphasize the practicalities rather than the technicalities, demonstrating dependably helpful techniques, warning of likely "trick" test questions, and pointing out common student mistakes.

These free lessons are cross-referenced to help you find related material, and the "Search" box on every page is available to help you find whatever math content you're looking for.

Middle School Help

Virtual Nerd was originally developed as a supplemental learning resource for teachers and students, with a focus on middle school and high school mathematics.

Guiding principles

Learning is not a linear process, so we must support non-linear exploration.
Students are often unable to identify the source of their confusion, so we must help them find what they need without forcing them to know what it is ahead of time.
A solid foundation is critical for progression to more advanced topics, and when students find themselves struggling, it's often due to weakness in underlying concepts, so we must provide immediate and direct access to pre-requisite topics.
Quality matters in every aspect of every experience, so we must not cut corners.
When students are confused, they need to be able to focus on resolving their confusion, so we must not distract them with extraneous stimuli or with too much esthetic variation.

"JrMath is a series of lesson and practice pages for students studying Junior Level mathematics Grades 6 through 8. These materials cover a variety of topics including all standards stated in the Common Core State Standards, the NY Next Generation Standards for Mathematics. Materials coordinate with SBAC, PARCC and state assessments."

Math Antics

Math Antics is a series of basic math videos created by Rob and Jeremy of Math Plus Motion, LLC.(Carlsbad, CA)

It’s also a website that offers access to practice materials for paid members.

Our math lessons are organized by topic, not by grade level. But it may help to know that most of the topics we currently teach are typically covered between 3rd and 8th grade. Older students may find our lessons helpful for review.
