What is a core resource?
Core Resources
A core resource is a foundational or key resource that complements a curriculum in an especially effective way. It may be a comprehensive resource that broadly addresses several of the student learning outcomes (e.g., a major integrated resource, series, textbook), an in-depth student resource that addresses at least one student learning outcome or a professional resource for educators.

Designing Patterns: Exploring Shapes and Area
Modules in this Math in a Cultural Context Series: Lessons Learned from Yup'ik Eskimo Elders provide an example of how to explore the multiculturalism of mathematics.
In this module, students learn about patterns used by Yup'ik seamstresses and then set out to create their own patterns for a headdress by cutting and folding a rectangle. In the process, students learn about relationships between geometry and area. Extension of the activities allow for exploration into fractions. Two stories included in this kit help to connect the mathematical concepts to parka pattern designs. This resource series was developed in partnership with the Yup'ik Inuit Elders in Alaska and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. It provides an authentic example of ways to integrate Inuit content, to incorporate cultural ways of knowing and to bridge gaps between different ways of knowing and understanding. The series includes cultural stories given by Elders. The focus is on Alaska's Yup'ik people. Students from all cultural backgrounds should find the activities engaging.
This kit includes a book, a reader, two CDs and five posters.

Math Curse
When the math teacher, Mrs. Fibonnica, explains to her class that students can think of almost anything as a math problem, one young girl takes the statement much too seriously. Suddenly, she is cursed with thinking of even the most insignificant activities as math problems that she must solve. Finally, she has a dream that frees her from this obsessive behaviour - until the science teacher, Mr. Newton, explains that students can think of almost anything as a science experiment! The amusing colour illustrations by Lane Smith are sure to delight readers. Although this comical book has some American content, every page is packed with ideas and possibilities suitable for Saskatchewan classrooms.

The Best of Times: Math Strategies That Multiply
Poems and illustrations highlight strategies for multiplying numbers from 0 to 10. The text provides strategies for determining products, using repeated doubling, annexing zeros, skip counting and understanding the properties of 1 and 0. The computer-generated illustrations of animals in hilarious situations help convey and clarify concepts. This resource develops an understanding of multiplication rather than focusing on a repetition and memorization approach.

The King's Chessboard
Geometric progressions are explored in this resource as a vain king insists that a wise man accept a reward for his service. The man reluctantly requests a daily payment of rice that is to be doubled for each square of the chessboard. The unwitting monarch grants the request and subsequently drains the royal granaries of its rice supply. The watercolour illustrations amplify the king's anguish as he realizes the folly of his decision and his eventual concession that pride can make a fool of oneself. This resource parallels the mathematical premise of Demi's One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale and McKibbon's The Token Gift.

Thinking Mathematically: Integrating Arithmetic and Algebra in Elementary School
The emphasis of this resource is on teaching for deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Using classroom examples, teachers are shown how to extend students' thinking in order to help them integrate and connect new knowledge with previous understanding. The authors show how relational thinking, making and representing conjectures, justification and proof have application in mathematics classrooms. Teacher commentaries provide realistic examples. End-of-chapter challenges offer ideas for problems and activities in class.

Opportunities to Address Computational Thinking in the Grades 1 to 6 Mathematics and Science Curricula: Saskatchewan Ministry of Education 2021
Computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems and understanding human behaviour by drawing on the concepts of computer science. Incorporating a broad set of problem-solving processes that represent an entry point for new ways of thinking are applicable in computer science and non-computer science contexts. Students at all grades can be engaged in computational thinking to support the learning of coding. While many teachers have already incorporated computational thinking into their classroom instructional and assessment activities, the Ministry of Education has developed this document to support teachers in explicitly connecting computational thinking to specific outcomes in grades 1 through 6 mathematics and science.
