EQuIP (Educators Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products) is an initiative of the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network designed to identify high-quality materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Inside Mathematics provides a resource for educators around the world who struggle to provide the best mathematics instruction they can for their students. This initiative grew out of the Noyce Foundation’s Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative. SVMI is based on high performance expectations, ongoing professional development, examining student work, and improved math instruction. The initiative includes a formative and summative performance assessment system, pedagogical content coaching, and leadership training and networks.
Check out the performance assessment tasks for grades 2 through high school! You will also find problems of the month, tools for educators, more common core resources, and videos.
Illustrative Mathematics started in 2011 as an initiative of the Institute for Mathematics & Education funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and has operated since 2013 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. We publish free content at illustrativemathematics.org.
