CNN Student News
I first posted this great resource back in 2009, but it’s still around and a great way to use current events to stimulate discussion, analysis, and writing in middle and high schools — all part of Common Core.

+Math Real Life Web Site
From the web site: Plus provides articles and podcasts on any aspect of mathematics, covering topics as diverse as art, medicine, cosmology and sport, a news section, showing how recent news stories were often based on some underlying piece of maths that never made it to the newspapers, reviews of popular maths books, and puzzles for you to sharpen your wits. We have a regular interview with someone in a maths-related career, showing the wide range of uses maths gets put to in the real world. And all past content remains available online, which besides making for good browsing is, we hope, a useful resource for maths school students and teachers.
