Teaching Resources
The Idaho Regional Mathematics Center Region I library has many items available for teachers. We have over 170 books, ranging from children’s literature that can be used to teach a wide variety of subjects, fun activities and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) resources. Our library also includes more than 50 math manipulatives.
See below for a full list of our resources. When you find an item you’d like to check out, simply fill out the corresponding form and send the completed request to irmc@uidaho.edu. All items are available to be checked out for up to four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, you are able to request an item renewal (though this is not guaranteed to be approved). If you have any additional questions or concerns, please email them to irmc@uidaho.edu.
