Lesson Resources

Many people and organizations post open-source lessons or artifacts that can be used to create lessons. The websites below contain such items. While our curriculum team has not reviewed each individual item, we believe that they can be used to create rich and relevant learning experiences for students. Some of the lessons or artifacts are aligned by mathematical topic, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), or Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM). 

We acknowledge that in some states, such as Texas, school districts are forbidden by law from implementing all of part of CCSSM. When we link to material that is aligned to CCSSM, we do not endorse CCSSM use in Texas classrooms or imply alignment between CCSSM and Texas classrooms. We include those links to acknowledge mathematics teaching outside of Texas.
