This week we are featuring a web tool that is a collection of online math tasks that are linked to Common Core standards for grades K-12. The website is very simple but the tasks are complex and illustrative.
To get started, go to: https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/
On the top left side of the page you can explore the standards or simply find tasks by grade level or high school topic.
I chose grade 4 and the Common Core standards appear as links to math tasks. Click on the link to open the task.
This task asks students a mathematical problem based on threatened species of animals. You can download a PDF with the task and explanations.
For almost every task there are multiple solutions that are illustrated for you.
Here is a peek at the tasks available for High School Statistics and Probability. As you can see there are multiple tasks available for each standard.
I think Illustrative Mathematics is a great resource for tasks to complete in class as well as for homework assignments since the solutions are clear and easy to understand. I hope you use this web tool for your class!
