k-12math.info 2021


Description

The K-12math.info platform helps anyone involved in elementary and secondary school mathematics by providing a non-text based computer interface to locate resources, definitions, content development, examples, practice activities, homework and enrichment activities done by the best developers in seven countries.
The year of COVID-19 (2020) has brought an increase in the number of users, new information and additional age appropriate OER links to its’ Open Access globally recognized website k-12math.info. The one thousand terms and concepts that make up much of the core of elementary and secondary school mathematics are now available in the six official languages of the United Nations: * عربى (Arabic) * 中文 (Chinese) * Français (French) * Española (Spanish) * русский (Russian) * English. New and updated math materials and OER links to Asian and African math programs are adding 8 000 more pieces of information to the pre-COVID-19 total of 154 000.
While this five-star Merlot open access educational resource website maintains its goal to provide information and maintains an easy-to-use user interface, efforts are being made to explore how new math programs can be developed. Global interest continues. This project is in line with SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 as all require some level of mathematical understanding to achieve their objectives.
