Welcome to the 2008-2009 Homepage of The Math Guy
About Me Contact Me POW TI-nSpire Operating Update	I am the Math Guy for Seattle School District and the Math Science Partnership Project thru the Park City Math Institute, Eastern Washington University and the University of Washington. I work very closely with the teachers of mathematics at Madison Middle School in Seattle. We are collecting evidence of student learning that is going on in the classrooms. For the 2008-2009 school year, I am continuing a number of really great projects. Mathematics Content Collaboration Community (CM^3) is a Washington State MSP funded project that will be looking for instruments that will assess teacher specialized content preparation. This year I will also be working with a great set of young people from all over the country and the world. We will be exploring the first three courses in high school mathematics - Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. Use this link to find additional information. This page is designed with links to items of interest or support materials for teachers, students or parents. If you have any suggestions, please feel free contact me directly. Thanks.
The Math Forum Offers Four different Problems of the Week The first is for the Math Fundamentals The second is the Pre-Algebra Followed by Algebra And finally, Geometry I would, also, encourage you to checkout an e-paper that I helped author at The Math Forum.	I have been involved in a number of projects during my tenure in Seattle Schools For assistance with the WASL, I have put together two links: Middle School High School For copies of the following Unit Organizers for the CMP A Unit Organizer Lesson Planners A CMP Lesson Organizer A CMP2 Lesson Organizer An Expanded Lesson Organizer A Vocabulary Builder (Frayer Model) Problem Solving Organizer Elementary Learning Cycle Parent Resource Information: HelpingHandout.doc is a series of 3 articles adapted form the Prentice Hall website Handout.doc is a condensed version of the same. They are designed to help parents help their kids at home.		Other Projects that I have been working on include: My GSP presentation at the 2009 NCTM-Washingotn, DC Conference My Tetrahedron Kite Presentation. My Origami Lesson. PCMI NWMI PD-Cubed
			Here is a great resource for some crazy ideas. And the best thing is that Bre Pettis was a student while I was teaching at Bellevue High School and we taught together while he was at Meany Middle School in Seattle. Check out "Weekend Projects - Picnic Geometry."
Pam Boroughs has created a great rubric for helping students self-assess their progress and effort. Click here to see it with the option to download it.
