Empowering the Mentor of the Beginning Math Teacher Who has this book? JaLena- everyone has this book. They were given it last year, including TLMs from last year. Empowering the Mentor of the Experienced Math Teacher Who has this book? These books were sent to everyone.

JaLena--I will order the "Focus" book for Algebra for content trainers, Deb, and myself. They have arrived at my office. All books were sent on May 26, 2010.

Carol--We certainly can purchase some copies of the materials you suggest to review. The Driscoll materials would be good. Deb could Lenny borrow you set? I believe there are 4 notebooks in the complete set. ​ YES Lenny can borrow my set! Lee Jenkins cites fractions as an issue also.

JaLena - Fractions - I was reminded of a series I used called "Key to Fractions" published by Key Curriculum Press. They have other series as well. Good stuff and made for Grade 4 - 12 (I believe).

Deb-Some suggestions to consider for resources would be the Focus in High School in Reasoning and Sense Making Series. These were sent on May 26. There are to be new ones in Algebra, Geometry and Stats Probability. We have copies of the generic one but not of each of the content ones. Carol and JaLena could they be purchased them for yourself, Lenny, Chuck, De and Me??

Driscoll materials that were not used before. I might suggest to think about rational numbers and how we might model them from arithmetic to algebra. FRACTIONS cause soooo much problems everywhere they appear. Just a crazy thought!!

De-I believe you have the Algebra Out Loud book I mentioned as does Chuck because I BELIEVE we got it during one of our years of presentations. It is a good tool to incorporate writing in Algebra
