Resource List

1.  Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat (Ministry of Education)
http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/literacynumeracy/initiative.html

This monograph talks specifically about three consolidation strategies during the last part of the lesson: gallery walk, math congress, bansho.

Specifically addresses this question: What kind of mathematics problems help students develop deep, conceptual understanding? 

How teachers can support ESL learners to succeed in mathematics?

There are tons more!

2. EduGAINS
http://www.edugains.ca/newsite/index.html
There are tons on resources here on Literacy, Numeracy, Differentiated Instruction, Assessment etc.  There are videos as well.

The Math GAINS site is packed with resources and definitely worth sifting through!
