Yummy Math
Yummy Math - We provide teachers and students with mathematics relevant to our world today …We’ve created Yummy Math to provide teachers with an easy way to bring real-life into their math classrooms. It is our belief that when math is explored in contexts that are familiar and of interest to students, students will be more engaged to do math, reason, think critically, question and communicate. Our activities are written to correspond with the NCTM Process Standards and the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice. We are in the process of adding CCSS correlation to each of our activities. We’ve kept the site updated with multiple activities per week since March 2010 at no charge to teachers. If you have used our material, please consider making a donation to help us continue bringing meaningful mathematics to you and your students. Thank you.

Math Across the Disciplines
Math Across the Disciplines - Math applies to almost every subject, and it’s amazing how easy it is to incorporate it into a lesson plan that is not specifically about math. You can calculate the angle of the sun and the speed of the Earth's rotation when you are teaching students about the seasons. You can discuss the frequency and speed of sound waves during music class. Or you can figure out your class's average reaction time.
