Level 2

Math Antics is a series of openly available basic math videos, in addition to a website that offers access to practise materials for paid members. Math topics are ideally organized for adult learning. They aren't broken down by grade level, and they cover skills and strategies in a logical, step-by-step manner. The topics roughly align to math development in grades three to eight.

The site is the only one in our OER collection with a paid subscription. We're including it because it's very reasonably priced at only US $20.00 per year. In addition, the content is comprehensive and engaging. Once you have a subscription, you can share the worksheets with your learners. Your subscription will not automatically renew at the end of a year (imagine that!). Also, free samples of the worksheets are available for you to review, before deciding to make a purchase.

The site Visual Fractions was developed by a middle school teacher. The original focus on fractions has expanded to include online calculators. There are however many distratcting ads which could be an impediment for some learners. We are highlighting the fractions materials, which are comprehensive and provide a complete resource for teaching fractions. Lessons contain  explanations, pre and post tests, optional online practice and worksheet practice. Sections of the lessons can also be accessed on their own:

• Worksheets cover all fractions topics

• Explanations are instructional explanations covering various fraction skills and strategies presented in slide sets

• Fraction designer allows you to create custom visuals of fractions 

Copyrighted. PDFs provided. You can also use snippets of the online activities but link back to the original source. 

Fraction Talks challenge students to identify fractional amounts in an image. The developer of the site states "Fraction Talks are a built around classroom talk and student action. These two principles guide the teacher’s questions, disposition, and facilitation of the activity. They can be become a daily routine, or used for entire lessons." Take a look at the 12 days of fractions talks to get started. Also read the short explanation from the developer. A recording sheet is also available.
