Math Links for Week Ending July 10th, 2020

Featured Links

Last week the Ontario Ministry of Education finally released the new grade 1-8 math curriculum. This week they've started to release some of the supporting resources. There three short overview videos on the curriculum, learning areas and support materials but the thing I like the most is the PDF document on High Impact Instructional Practices. I am sure there will be more to come but this is what we have right now.

I feel like this post from @JStevens009 is super timely. Given that most of use were teaching online for the first time at the end of last year (and may be doing the same was the new year starts). John takes us through the mistakes that he made and whether you made these same mistakes or not, it's worth a read to get set up for the new year.

Based on some moderate experience with video-making, I put together a quick list of things I learned to *not* do in the process. I'm open to more ideas to add to the list. Hopefully it helps someone out there:https://t.co/NqBysifW4I

Here's a great video that you could use to talk about proportional reasoning as well as visualizing big numbers. Thanks to @MrOrr_Geek for pointing this one out.
