Illustrative Mathematics Illustrative Mathematics now plays nice with search engines
“You can, for example, google "illustrations for
A-SSE" and get direct links to the tasks that
illustrate Seeing Structure in Expressions in
the Algebra category. Googling "illustrations
for 2.MD" takes to the page in the illustration
index which includes all the illustrations for
2.MD.” – Bill McCallum
