Tennessee English/Language Arts Curriculum Center Common Core State Standards (CCSS) establish learning goals for English Language Arts students and the literacy proficiencies for students in history/social studies, science, and technical subject areas. The CCSS for grade 6 and above are predicated on having teachers from different content areas combine their area content knowledge expertise to help students develop the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness across multiple disciplines. The 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects do not replace content standards in these content areas, but rather, are intended to supplement them. In terms of their organization, the Common Core State Standards for ELA are grouped into: Strands: larger groups of related standards. Standards from different strands may sometimes be closely related. Tennessee Common Core English/Language Arts Resources TNCore.org Read Tennessee
Online texts Professor Jim Herod and I have written Multivariable Calculus ,a book which we and a few others have used here at Georgia Tech for two years. We have also proposed that this be the first calculus course in the curriculum here, but that is another story.... Although it is still in print, Calculus,by Gilbert Strang is made available through MIT's OpenCourseWare electronic publishing initiative. Here is one that has also been used here at Georgia Tech. Linear Methods of Applied Mathematics, by Evans Harrell and James Herod. Yet another one produced at Georgia Tech is Linear Algebra, Infinite Dimensions, and Maple, by James Herod.

Overview The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects are the culmination of an extended, broad-based effort to fulfill the charge issued by the states to create the next generation of K–12 standards in order to help ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy no later than the end of high school. The Standards set requirements not only for English Language Arts but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.

Free eBooks at Planet eBook - 80+ Classic Novels and Literature English Language Arts Standards | Anchor Standards | College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Language The K-12 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate. Standards in this strand: Conventions of Standard English: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.2Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Knowledge of Language: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.3Apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style, and to comprehend more fully when reading or listening.

Grade 1 | Introduction In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers. They use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations.

After drawing these with a Rocketfish stylus (my favorite of the 4 or 5 iPad styluses I’ve tried to date) I cropped the images on my iPad using the Skitch app, and uploaded them to Flickr using PhotoSync. If anything, I hope by creating and sharing these amateurish drawings I’m following my own advice in “playing with media!”
