Our Material Updates Continue!
Our material updates are geared at "sprucing up", "updating" and introducing "new" materials to our Notebook and subscription areas. In addition, we are including a system for pointing out which materials are compatible with the new NY Next Generation Standards.
While we are not dropping any of our previous subscription materials, you may see certain materials labeled as "amended", indicating that minor changes have been made. Our goal has always been (and continues to be) to present a package of "universal" materials in each heading area. We have seen that most school districts across the US follow a surprisingly common set of standards for their mathematics instruction, regardless of what they "call" those standards. We strive to offer a wide collection of materials that will hopefully meet the needs of a wide variety of users.
We are wrapping up the updates to
Algebra 1
Geometry FOLKS: Your updates have been organized and outlined, and work will begin to be "seen" around the end of April.
Regarding our Updating Process:
To minimize interference with your current use of our materials:
• no MathBitsNotebook pages will be removed until their updates are completely finished. New pages will appear as they are completed.
• no current MathBits Subscription materials will disappear, but may undergo updating (amending). New materials are appearing as they are completed. Designations are included as to which materials are compatible with NY Next Generation Standards. While our materials are not geared solely for the Next Generation Standards, they do address ALL of those standards.
New Updates Never End!
As major areas reach the end of their current updating process, please understand that the concept of "updating" never ends. We seem to be continually finding new items we want to include in our materials. We have piles for each level that include new ideas we want to develop. So, even if your section is currently "complete", there will still be new things coming your way in the future.
Now, if someone could just put more than 24 hours in one day,
it would be most helpful!!! Smiles!
Live long and love math,
Fred and Donna
