Seeking suggestions for middle school math resources and online math teacher groups

I teach 6th grade math in Massachusetts. I'm looking for recommendations for:

1) excellent middle school math resources: websites, apps, books, lessons, etc; and

2) other great online math groups like this one where I can benefit from others' work.

So far, my challenge has been finding too many online recommendations that require hours of sifting through. Ideally, I'd like to get recommendations for what are regarded the best of the best. Something akin to Jane Hart's "Top 100 Tools for Learning," which provides a list of the most highly regarded learning tools.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Patrick, maybe you would be interested in trying out the fraction lesson that we presented at ISTE. Virtual Tangrams - Real Fractions piecing it all together, demonstrated the use of an ebook and app in a 6-8 math lesson.
To get the book go to sthildas.blackboard.com login iste, password guest
You will find the ebook , plus other investigations involving the use of apps.
Good luck
Terry
