If I had to teach Math, and wanted my kids to think big AND deep AND apply math to real world problems...... here are a few great online resources I would utilize. Plus, all of these truly simulate the type of math problems students will see in the Smarter Balance assessment. I would use a class blog to have student share their thinking and to be the launch pad for independent thinking, but then also classroom discussion.
Illustrative Math ~ Search by Grade level and then find activity by
standard
Math Teaching Resources ~ use the links on the left to narrow your focus by grade level or math area
CK12 Common Core Math Standards Browser ~ Middle School & High School Math Problems to stretch student's math thinking
Inside Mathematics Problem of the Month ~ a great collection of math problems per grade level and math topic.
Inside Mathematics Performance Tasks ~ per grade level
Of course, there are math thinking stems as well that could also be used to get your student's thinking about math in a deeper way.
