To access the resources in this site, you must make a free account.  Once that is done, you have access to video lessons and lesson plans for grades 2-12.  You choose your grade level, and when the page opens you have access to several lesson plans that address certain domains (listed at the top of the page [they're active links that will help you skip down the page to those lesson plans]).  The lesson plans have math practice and content standards identified for you.  Once you open your chosen lesson plans, you will see a "PowerPoint" with teacher notes in a bar on the right hand side.  As you scroll down the page, you will see the big ideas identified for the lesson plan, a summary for the lesson plan and content vocabulary identified for that lesson.  The video library is a little different in that you need to choose your grade level on the left hand side in order to sort the videos; you can also sort by Common Core Standard.  These lesson plans and video lessons are huge assets for teachers to use as whole group instruction and for students to see multiple representations of a mathematical concept.

Standards:
For each lesson plan and video lesson, the content standards and math practice standards addressed are identified.  Because the lessons are developed for grades 2-12, the mathematical domains addressed are as follows: operations and algebraic thinking, numbers and operations in base ten, numbers and operations -- fractions, the number system, ratios and proportional relationships, expressions and equations, functions, measurement and data, geometry, statistics and probability.
