A place for math teachers to share files
From: Chris McGinley (WIlliamsville Central School District)
I wanted to share my work on mapping the Common Core Math Standards to NYS's math performance indicators
From: Jillian Dunkleberger
I am a teacher in Hannibal CSD located in Central NY.
I just completed my first year and made smartboard
slides for
the entire NYS Geometry curriculum.
PDF Files for the step-by-step procedures for making the TI
calculators acceptable for the state exams.

The Arlington Central School District is making available the electronic
textbook that it uses for its introductory Algebra
course. This topic was posted last year on the Math A/B discussion.
You may access a PDF version of the E-text that is easily downloadable
(by lesson) at: http://www.teacherweb.com/ny/arlington/algebraproject/hf0.stm
They had good success with this program, having over a 95% pass
rate in June (with a very forgiving curve). They hope that this resource
will help teachers supplement what they already use or can be used
as a primary text. The e-text was created by 25 high school and middle
school teachers

"I created this
list of enduring understandings and essential questions 
as part of a course emphasizing backward design (Wiggins & McTighe,
2005). I derived my enduring understandings from the Principles and
Standards of School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000). Since many states (New
York included) model their own standards on this document, I thought
this would make my work readily transferable. Such transfer seems needed
as I was disappointed with the results of my Internet research for examples
of enduring understandings and essential questions."
" In the first column I include the NCTM version of the standard.
In the second column I include the enduring understanding I derived;
only five of the thirty-six standards needed significant modification.
In the third column I include the essential questions that extend from
the enduring understanding. These understandings and questions would
persist from prekindergarten through grade twelve with students' understandings
and answers deepening with each passing year."

Here is something I did with 7th graders, knowing they may later have
these types of problems on some Math A regents tests.
Consecutive Even Integers

I have attached
an Excel spread sheet that generates individualized, self checking,
equation worksheets combined with a Sudoku game. The solutions to the
nine equations on the left are the digits 1 to 9. Each digit is used
only once. These solutions become the left column clues in a Sudoku
puzzle. The solutions on the right become the right column clues in
the puzzle.
The coefficients in the equations are generated by the Randbetween
spreadsheet function. The remaining clues in the Sudoku puzzle are permutations
of one solution. The equations in all work sheets are very different.
The sudoku puzzles look different even though they are essentially the
same when generated by the same puzzle solution.
The attached spread sheet contains four pages with 4 different Sudoku
solutions as generators. Some have more than one solution. You can print
the work sheets by pressing Ctrl-x. At the present time, the macro prints
two sets of 4 work sheets. You can edit the macro to print as many spread
sheets as you want. You can also change the generating solutions by
expanding the cells and pasting new solutions in the generating cells.
Since the cells that generate the permutations have been reduced in
height to two pixels, they are not visible in the printed work sheet.
For some reason, if the cell height is less than two pixels, the macro
does not work.
I am working on some other Excel generated work sheets. When they are
ready, I will send them to you.
