Welcome to the 2007-2008 Homepage of The Math GuyAbout Me
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 2007-2008 school year, I am continuing a new project. 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.
In my free time, I am teaming with two other math coaches in Seattle Schools to present both elementary and secondary math methods to pre-service students from City University. And I am on the Writing and Editorial Team for the Standards Revision Project. If you would like more information about the SR Team, click here.
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:
- For copies of the following
- Unit Organizers for the CMP
- A Unit Organizer
- Lesson Planners
- 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:
Pam Boroughs has created a great rubric for helping students self-assess their progress and effort.

This link will take you to the Curriculum Maps for each school. These are works in progress and will change as we progress thru the year.
