Math Exemplars and problem solving - Jill sent us the website for Exemplars K-12; considering using these problems instead of the Exemplars we have right now; there are extended ones, more accessible ones, and more challenging ones. They are for levels K-2, so we would have to go through and decide which problems we would use per unit.
