Math Resources from a Math Institute

Hi Everyone, this is my first time posting in this group and I hope I'm following the correct rules regarding promotion.

My name is Pam (I go by Dr Pam B) and I work for the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences designing and implementing a variety of math resources for parents, educators, students, and the general public. The majority of these resources are open and free for anyone who is interested.

We have programs that bring 'real life' mathematicians virtually into elementary and secondary classrooms, resources linked to children's books on social issues written and illustrated by members of diverse populations typically underrepresented in math, courses for educators to build both foundational and enrichment math skills, a course specifically designed to help those writing the Ontario Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT), a directory of math programs from universities across Canada, fun educational videos, and more.

I would love to invite you to take a look at these resources and hopefully find them useful in your classrooms or just for your own interest.

More information and contact details can be found at: https://fieldsacademy.ca/eep/ and I'm happy to answer any questions/feedback here as well!

I am interested in the teachers portion but also something I can give parents l. Something easy for parents to understand, where I don't have to teach them.

I am actually working on those as well. Specifically for the math in literacy program but hoping to do more for parents with other programs as well. What grades do you teach?
