We find ourselves in some clearly uncertain times as schools are closing and preparing for remote instruction. Parents are stepping up and suddenly finding themselves as homeschool teachers. As an education community, we are all in this together.
Our team has compiled some resources from Mission Math K12, Performing Math, and our TEKS Companion Guide series in one place here so that you can more easily find lesson artifacts that you may be able to use as you provide remote instruction for your students. These lesson artifacts are all aligned to and developed for the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS); however, you can use them in any state. Good math is good math.
We selected artifacts based on a typical 5th six weeks scope and sequence for each grade level or course. They aren’t comprehensive but should provide educators and parents with materials they can use right away in a place where your kids probably left off before they adjourned for spring break.
Beneath the table, Paul has included some links to websites that he’s previewed and recommends. They have free resources you may also be able to use.
