The Illuminations
site is not the only resource that we were given in math, but it is by far the most helpful and we spent a large amount of
our time exploring and familiarizing ourselves with it. Below is an example of
some lesson notes we created for this site so that we could add it to our resource folders. We did this for every single
lesson that is on the site.
