Common Core Math (even if your state retitled it)

Taking a hard look at American K-12 math education and a decade of the #CommonCore State Standards Initiative (CCSSI). Unaffiliated. Unbought.

An op-ed that gets it. A student that figures out how to solve one problem, any problem, on her/his own has learned something far more useful than a student who has "mastered" 100 standards. #edchat #mathchat #mtbos

The definition of who is gifted appeared to change as you walked across the hallway.

1 out of 5 U.S. adults under 65 dropped out of college and don't have a degree. A survey of those who succeeded in returning finds a wide range of things that helped them come back. (3/3) https://t.co/DUVNSmSibw

In 2017, 69M adults had low (English language) numeracy skills, significantly greater than the number of adults with low skills in 2012/2014.

@watanabeKSU @NYSEDNews 31.4% (65% scaled) on the New York exam means a student has done well enough in math not just to get into the next grade, but to graduate high school with a @nysednews "Regents" diploma.

The general slope/𝑦-intercept eqn of a line would be better expressed as 𝑦=𝑏𝑥+𝑐. It's consistent with the general eqn of a parabola 𝑦=𝑎𝑥²+𝑏𝑥+𝑐, and the 𝑐 is consistent with the constant used in integral calculus. How many books use 𝑦=𝑚𝑥+𝑏?

Many are understandably disillusioned with the idea that everyone should get a college degree. One alternative is a shorter vocational certification. Lawmakers in DC are debating whether to increase federal funding for them.

Students have experienced slower growth rates and lower achievement levels in math/reading during the pandemic.

Negative impacts were larger among students of color and students experiencing poverty. https://t.co/SbfxteJZRN

Commissioner Peggy Carr notes that the 2020 long-term trend results are the latest to show declining scores for students who are struggling in math and reading. See the math results: https://t.co/Uj3wtTPkqw

@jillbarshay Yes, the rise of social media as a replacement for literature is a reasonable theory, too.

Years ago, there was a computer program like the video game Space Invaders. Floating down from the top were problems like 4×6 and 7×9 you would type in answers (in any order) to destroy them. Anyone remember the name?
It was like this, but better:

Recommendations for a phone/tablet app to drill addition and times tables that can be controlled and monitored by a teacher (a la KA or IXL)?
Preferable:
up to 9s (not 12s)
adaptive
timed to promote speed
requires manual entry of answers, not MC
