Some curriculum links to start the new year
I don’t know about you, but I spent this holiday weekend purging my web browser bookmarks. (You mean, you didn’t?)
There are some great curriculum websites but because I no longer tutor I don’t need to have one-click access to them anymore. There were a few that I just couldn’t bring myself to unceremoniously delete, so I thought I’d share them here. Many of these are lesser-known sites that I stumbled upon and didn’t want to forget, so you won’t see a lot of the *famous* math sites here. Consider this to be mostly a list of hidden treasures.
