I stumbled across “commoncore.org” Do they have any official status ore relationship like Achievethecore.org does?
Not in the sense of being founded by any of the lead writers, no. But I believe they are employing some of the members of the original Work Team for the math standards to write their curriculum. I don’t know what the history is, but I assume they must have had that url before the standards.
The site is run by Common Core, Inc. here is information about them:
They are the contractors hired by NYSED to develop the EngageNY math modules. The lessons are available on the EngageNY website for free. They have packaged the same lessons as Eureka Math. They are essentially identical—both based on the Common Core standards.
I have been using the fifth grade math modules and feel that they are the most coherent math lessons I have used. I have been converting the fifth grade lessons to multimedia and share them freely on http://ccss5.com
Thank you for directing me to EngageNY. I also realized MA has some good stuff http://www.doe.mass.edu/candi/model/download_form.aspx
I have some questions after looking over EngageNY for Algebra I at:Click to access algebra-i-m1-teacher-materials.pdf
but I’m not sure this the best place to open such a discussion. What do you think, Dr. McCallum?
I depends on the questions … if it’s about whether or not a certain standard is being interpreted correctly, for example, then that’s fine. If it’s about the intentions of EngageNY authors, then I don’t think I can answer.
Oh, of course. I was looking at pages 78-85 from EngageNY and the treatment of the commutative and associative properties. It looked like overkill to me but maybe I just don’t have the right thinking on that.
