Awesome product and great team.
I was very impressed by the team. Further, the company has been very successful recruiting businesses. I am looking forward to their launch.
Really like these guys and what they are doing. They are part of StartEngine and the product and pitch are getting stronger each time I see it. I love teams that have been together a long time an have had prior successes, as this team has.
They are a very talented team of entrepreneurs who are going to change how small businesses manage their word of mouth marketing to help build their businesses.
Great team of serial ninjas attacking a big problem with a strong product and compelling niche approach. I like their chances.
Recommending a company is one thing, however recommending something you believe in is another. Not only is the company and Idea great the people behind it are truly at the top of their game. The work ethics and history i have with them is unlike most and the passion they have for success is an example of wanting and working the American Dream.

Wood-Fired Vermont Maple Syrup
Come Taste the Trees
We boil down the springtime sap from 2500 maple trees living on our hillside in Weston, Vermont. All of our sap comes from one sugarbush, so the syrup tastes like Bobo's Mountain: the soil, minerals, organic material, water and the trees. Bobo's Mountain Sugar is a wood-fired operation, and we use wood sourced either from our land or from our neighbors to ensure our fuel is local. It takes a lively mix of science and magic to make maple syrup, and we wait for those perfect early spring days where night-time temperatures are below freezing and day-time temperatures are above freezing. Then, as the sap is running, we collect it, light up a fire, and boil it down to syrup. When the syrup comes off the pans and you have your first taste of Bobo's Mountain...perfection.
On of the best things about sugaring is how closely held we are to the transition from winter to spring: the most powerful seasonal change in northern New England. We begin making syrup by fixing lines and tapping trees in deep-winter February. The first March boils are cold and quiet ones – wearing jackets and hats until the sugar house warms up. Outside is still frozen solid. By mid April, we're boiling with the doors open wearing T-shirts and listening to the first sounds of spring: the Red Sox, the water running down the hill, and the wood frogs singing in the pond. After that, we are back in the woods in sneakers, swatting black flies, and watching the spring ephemeral flowers pop off the mountains. There is nothing subtle about this transition, and it's a gift to be pulled through it covered in sticky syrup.
Bobo at the Beard House
On March 23, 2016, Bobo got a special invitation to join five chefs from New England and Canada at a maple-infused dinner at the James Beard House in New York City.
The meal was spectacular.
We loved meeting chefs Brian Mercury, Christine Flynn, Matt Jennings, Tracy Oblosky, and Mike Poiarkoff. Plus it was an opportunity to dust off our city clothes, ride the train (choo0- choo0), and see more than 20 people per square mile.

Building the ⟨Sci|State⟩ Studio—a weekend in time lapse.
The SciState Studio is finished and we're all ready for production! In this video, we get a behind the scenes look at some of the finer details of our studio construction. As we embarked on this adventure, one of the first things we learned was that high-quality audio is an essential component of any successful video series. With this in mind, we have outfitted our studio with acoustic insulation panels and installed various other echo reducing components throughout. We also constructed an awesome plexiglass "light board," which is similar to a traditional whiteboard but doesn't require one's back to face the camera. We're really proud of everything we've produced and hope you agree!
We should point out that it takes a real expert (thank you Justin Reusch!) to set up the lighting for the video stage. You can see how that came out by watching our "Testing out the Green Screen" video. As a point of comparison, note the terrible sound in the "Testing out the Green Screen" video—that is what the studio sounded like before we built the acoustic insulation panels.
As always, comments are welcome below.

Something fun: What it is like to be the son of Captain Derivative
Above is a picture of my stepdad, Captain Derivative, doing integration exercises for yet another day in the vector field against his arc enemy, the pathological and degenerate Prime Matrix.
Some people have asked me, "What is it like being the son of a differential operator who can wield power series with such ease?" Well, when I was young and still very near my initial value, I used to oscillate rapidly between believing whether his exponential powers were real or imaginary–often shifting my phase over time with some frequency. But then he removed a discontinuity from a complex surface right before my very eyes, and I saw the proof of his limitless analysis: I converged upon the realization that my own scientific skepticism had been irrational. From that moment on (t=5), I would often help him from his secret power base by relaying coordinates of tangents he could approach in the Cartesian plane so he could do battle against those divergent improper integrals.
Go Captain Derivative, we are with you (or at least, within an epsilon ball of you). May the functions you differentiate always be smooth!
(My stepfather, Fred Reusch, is the calculus teacher at my old high school in Rockford, Michigan. Today was "Super-hero Day" at the school, and he came dressed as "Captain Derivative." I think he would wear this outfit to school everyday if he could!🙂 )

Adam Saltz speaks on an annular refinement of the transverse element in Khovanov homology
Intended Audience: Research mathematicians, professors of mathematics, graduate students in mathematics, and advanced undergraduate students in mathematics.
In this 1 hour episode, we see a presentation by Adam Saltz, a mathematician and graduate student at Boston College, on a new invariant of transverse knots in links coming from Khovanov homology.
In the talk, Adam discusses some of the details contained in his paper with Diana Hubbard, An annular refinement of the transverse element in Khovanov homology. Here is the abstract to their paper:
We construct a braid conjugacy class invariant κ by refining Plamenevskaya's transverse element ψ in Khovanov homology via the annular grading. While κ is not an invariant of transverse links, it distinguishes some braids whose closures share the same classical invariants but are not transversely isotopic. Using κ we construct an obstruction to negative destabilization (stronger than ψ) and a solution to the word problem in braid groups. Also, κ is a lower bound on the length of the spectral sequence from annular Khovanov homology to Khovanov homology, and we obtain concrete examples in which this spectral sequence does not collapse immediately. In addition, we study these constructions in reduced Khovanov homology and illustrate that the two reduced versions are fundamentally different with respect to the annular filtration.
This video and paper are aimed at mathematicians, graduate students and undergraduates with lots of experience in topology. However, high school students who think they are potential math geniuses may still enjoy looking at it to see what advanced theorems and proofs look like.
As always, comments are welcome!

Testing out the new Green Screen (Plus a bonus 14×16 calculation)
This is a test video that Shea and I did to test the new green screen. Shea is spoofing a bit with me—acting all surprise at my ability to calculate 14×16 in my head. He looses it slightly near the end. (Research mathematicians do a lot more than mental math although we are almost constantly doing mental math: it is just math that is a lot harder than simple arithmetic.) Check out Shea laughing at the end.
The test video is to try the different types of backgrounds we can now use with the new studio setup (and green screen). You can vote which background you like the most here:
This is just an informal poll. You can comment below if you have a better idea for a background. For example, Shea's son wanted whales swimming. Maybe not quite professional enough for math videos…
Thanks especially goes to Justin Reusch, who came all the way from Austin, Texas to set up—and explain how to set up—the lighting for this type of shoot. You can see his work in the video on our faces (the back-light halo effect on our heads, the side lights and shadows on our faces, etc. ). Thank you, Justin! Thanks also goes to Hang, who kept the kids busy while we put together the shot. You can hear the kids in the background playing during the video: like I said, this was just a test video.

Powers of 2
Intended Audience: Teachers, prospective teachers, and parents (public, private, homeschool).
In this video, 6-year-old Autumn explains that the meaning of "2 to the power of 4" is a product of four factors of 2:
This is the beginning of exponentiation and it is easy to understand—the power (in this case, 4) tells us how many factors of the base (2) there should be. I usually tell my college students tongue-in-cheek that, "Mathematicians are laaaaazzzzzy. We came up with the notation because we got tired of writing all 30 factors of two out!"
There are a few issues to watch out for when introducing a child to exponents (some of which I mentioned in the video):
- At this level, after students understand multiplication, powers of 2 are no harder or easier than learning addition or multiplication facts.
- However, it is a new operation and one that is easily confused with multiplication. The statement, "2 times 4," sounds a lot like, "2 to the 4th." Furthermore, the processes for evaluating the expressions are are similar but for powers we use multiplication instead of addition: "2 times 4" is describing a number of addends while "2 to the 4th" is describing a number of factors.
For these reasons, you (as the parent or teacher) should be very deliberate about asking, "What is 2 to the power of 4?" to help your child/students understand that you are asking for something very different than "2 fours."
- Definitely stick with "powers of 2" until students are comfortable with the meaning of exponents and can confidently tell you what are. Remember, you are trying to help students learn the meaning of the operation, not memorize a bunch of numbers. (If you feel you can move on, go to powers of 10 next, and then to powers of 3.)
Once they are comfortable moving back and forth between and the real fun can begin—learning the properties of exponentiation like Don't worry about this for now; Autumn and I will show you how easy and pleasurable it is to learn some of these properties in another video. For now, just concentrate on learning the powers of 2 themselves (up to 10 or 12).
- Finally, it is much easier to remember the powers of 2 if you use "tags" or "pins," i.e., memorizing a couple of easy-to-remember powers of 2, and using them to quickly figure out the rest. I recommend: , , and . Then one can quickly find , which is just an easy double. You will see the "story" Autumn and I used to remember in the video.
Check back soon for a new video on the properties of exponentiation. In the meantime, enjoy learning the powers of 2 with your child/students!

An article on how Eureka Math began.
Leigh Guildry wrote a nice piece for The Town Talk newspaper, "How did Eureka Math start? 2 writers answer." She traces the steps that I, Robin Ramos, Nell McAnnelly, and Lynne Munson (director of Great Minds) took to develop the Eureka Math/Engage NY curriculum.
She starts with recent test results of students from Rapides Parish School System who were using Eureka Math:
"Rapides [Parish School System] students progressed at almost double the national average on benchmark tests by Discovery Education. Students gained an average of 141 scale score points during the 2014–15 school year, compared to 73 points for students in districts nationally, according to eureka-math.org. The district more than doubled the average U.S. gains in middle school grades (6–8) and in kindergarten."
Pretty impressive! Congratulations go to students and their teachers.
The article goes on to interview Pam Goodner, who was the lead writer who worked with me in creating the 12th grade "Precalculus Course." (Thank you, Pam, for your hard work.)

The Secrets of my Teaching Success: James Tanton
Note from Scott Baldridge: I recently asked James Tanton, "What are some of the reasons for your success as a teacher?" I consider James to be a fabulous high school teacher and a good friend, and was interested in his response. To see why so many people think highly of James, I recommend that you visit James' websites www.JamesTanton.com and www.gdaymath.com and follow him on twitter: @JamesTanton (and click his suggested links below). James responded with the following 12 points. I felt they were so well-articulated and compelling that I couldn't let these gems remain just between the two of us. Thank you, James!
The Secrets of my Teaching Success
by James Tanton
I have been asked:
What are some of the reasons for your success as a teacher?
And I sat down recently to try to give a serious answer to this question.
But I first need to point out that I disagree with the underlying premise of this question: I am not sure that my success means that I am a "good" math teacher by the usual standards of teaching. People may be shocked to learn that I always arrange the tables in my classes and workshops so that everyone is facing the board. I lecture, I only lecture, and all is focused on the teacher in the room. I use the board extensively, and there is absolutely no technology anywhere in sight as I teach. And I don't do anything innovative in the classroom – seriously, zero, zip, zilch on the innovation front.
So this ego-full, self-focused piece is my attempt to answer the question as to why some people seem to think I am a successful teacher despite the above. It comes as twelve points.
Success 1: I have a cute accent.
I am serious in that I think this a big part of my success in the classroom.
I was raised in Australia with a British father and as a result my accent is something confusing: Australians think I am British, Brits know I am Australian, and everyone else is confused as to what I am. But my accent seems to be extremely pleasing to the American ear and I am fully aware that it works to my full advantage in my American life.
Success 2: I treat everyone like adults – even kids.
I always assume everyone just does the right thing.
Well, I need to qualify that. We are all human and I know we make silly mistakes when under stress and pressure and so might slip on doing the right thing every now and then. But that is the learning process for all this.
So I assume people just do the right thing, and if they don't, will learn from the goof and just not do it again.
I had one blatant, silly act of cheating as a college professor: I received two identical, word for word, silly error for silly error, homework papers. My response was to give one paper an A+ and the other a C- and never say a word. It turned out that the two authors never said a word either and it never happened again.
I once gave a lecture on cheating 101, general pieces of basic advice on how to get away with things. (If you've copied someone's paper, don't hand it at the same time as your partner-in-crime: make sure your papers sit in different parts of the pile. Photocopying someone's answers is just a ludicrous idea. Don't copy the same spelling and obvious math mistakes – perhaps insert a few more of your own. Don't wear a baseball cap during an exam – the rim points the same way you are looking. And so on.)
When I moved to high-school teaching I was flabbergasted at the idea of "needing to remove the temptation of cheating" for our students. This incorporated ideas such as erecting screens between seats during class quizzes and having students being supervised while they do make-up tests. Where are students meant to learn about the wrongs of cheating and making those first-time silly mistakes? Plus the insult to students assuming they can't be adult about all this! I did none of the things I deemed insulting to students.
There was one time when young Jenna was looking over at someone's paper during a quiz. I just walked up behind her and quietly whispered: "Just be careful where your eyes go during a quiz." End of issue. I just ask students "to do the right thing" when it comes to finishing up a test at home. Even if they slip, there is an emotion that accompanies the wrong doing that sits and lingers, and contending with that emotion is the learning experience. (Plus students, by and large, do do the right thing!)
Success 3: I am quirky and I like to play with ideas.
Here's a tiny piece of quirkiness that illustrates the power of playfulness:
In learning about permutations we start by counting the number of ways to rearrange letters in words or, better yet, in our names: the letters of JIM can be arranged 6 ways (3!), the letters of JAMES 120 ways (6!). But a name like BOB or DANA represents a problem. (Brute force gives 3 and 12 ways, respectively.) The problem is worse for the word CHEESE. So we need to figure out a reasonable way to handle repeated letters.
As ideas develop we go from CHEESE to CHEESES to CHEESIEST, and when we have the hang of it, we go straight to CHEESIESTESSNESS, the quality of being the cheesiest of all the cheeses. People just seem to love the "word" cheesiestessness and the whole lesson sticks.
I also love squine and cosquine (www.jamestanton.com/?p=605). I love to ask how many degrees there are in a Martian circle (www.jamestanton.com/?p=633). And I love quirky words from the history of math: vinculum, obelus, radix, and so on (www.jamestanton.com/?p=1258).
Success 4: I think hard about "what's really going on" and "why anyone cares."
I think I am good at thinking deeply about stuff and can cut through all the usual surrounding clutter. That's why my lecture style works, I think: what I ramble on about is de-cluttered content and so sustains interest.
Plus I do the quirky, straight to the heart-of-the-matter, lectures. Exploding Dots is a prime example. (www.gdaymath.com/courses/exploding-dots/)
Success 5: I break every 37 ½ minutes.
I once read a paper early in my career that said that the average attention span of an adult or near-adult audience member sitting through a lecture-style presentation is 37½ minutes. I've taken that as a literal fact, and have made it a universal law in my teaching. I tell this little story at the start of my courses and workshops and we religiously have a break at the 37½ minute mark, even if it is only a 45 minute class!
Success 6: I know some history of math.
I want math to be the human story that it is. I share the tales of the backs and forths and the struggles of developing ideas leading to how we see and use them today.
Success 7: I am not at all afraid to make mistakes. Even whopper of ones.
It is a vital and genuine part of math to be human in your relationship with it. I don't need to be seen as the expert. But I do need to model what it means to engage with mathematics as a human being.
Success 8: I seem to be good at helping people feel it is okay not to know.
After all, I know very little myself. The message I give is that it is completely okay not to know something, but it is not okay not to want to find out.
This notion is tied into the use of the word should, as in "you should know this" or "students should know." Should statements often have a feeling of judgement attached to them and they induce unpleasant sinking feelings in the gut for the recipients. I avoid making should comments.
And usually these statements are moot: even if students should know how to distribute a negative sign by grade 9 and your students don't, it is irrelevant – it just means that you need to talk about distributing the negative sign with that class. (Try something like 1.4 of www.gdaymath.com/courses/astounding-power-of-area/.)
But there is another aspect of these "should" comments that worries me. As one's mathematical sophistication grows one starts to see former concepts in a new light. Subtleties and hidden assumptions become clear and previously comfortable topics become uncomfortable and shaky. The idea that, for example, by the end of middle school students should be comfortable with fractions is ludicrous to me. Fractions are actually very hard and a thinking high-school student really should revisit them and be uncomfortable with them! (www.jamestanton.com/?p=1461.) (Did I just use the word "should"?)
Success 9: I think I am good at recognizing "hazy" thinking.
You know when you are lecturing or teaching on content that you really haven't quite properly sorted out for yourself. You can do the work, you can explain the piece, but you know you don't really "get it," the heart of it, that is. I have lectured while in this state too, it happens, but I share my emotional state with the audience. I like to think it helps students recognize hazy thinking when it happens to them too. Hazy thinking is a call to go for a walk, to mull on the idea, and to ask "What's really going on with this topic?"
Success 10: I incorporate in my courses moments of "looking back" as part of pushing forward.
Here's a piece that illustrates what I mean by this. www.jamestanton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Curriculum-Essay_August-2015_Undergraduate-Courses-for-Teaching1.pdf
Success 11: I have a PhD from Princeton of all bleedin' places!
People seem to think that means I know my stuff. Hmm. That perception certainly contributes to my teaching success.
Success 12: I am not obsessed about assessment.
I just want students to prove to me that they get it in the end. If it takes a while before they do and grades are lousy during that period, no worries, get it in the end we can ignore all that. This notion seems to be an anathema in high-school world – of all places!
(If I am forced to think about assessment in high-school teaching, I think this way: http://www.jamestanton.com/?p=968.)

Something fun: Have you ever used a ruler to measure a Snafoose?
Have you ever used a ruler to measure a snafoose?
I've never, never-ever, tried to measure a snafoose.
Certainly not on a goose.
Or near a boar on the loose.
No, I never tried to measure a snafoose.
But I have used a ruler, why, I have used it a lot!
I have used it to find the distance between this point and thot!
Between two and three,
or three and eight, as I was toght,
to find the distance between four-thirty-three-point-four and two-point-two to the naught.
I've measured here and there, in good days and bad,
measuring always had a way of making me feel glad.
I've measured while eating,
I've measured while preening,
why I've even measured while dancing the twirl-e-bop-de-careening.
And here's what I've learned, if you permit me to spin:
the distance between naught and three is just three again.
Now it seems almost like—like you get that for free,
so maybe it should be no surprise:
it is also the same to the negation of three!
Absolute value does not need to be an absolute bore,
It just comes from measuring, measuring and measuring some more.
And when it's finally brought up, in algebra, with letters,
kids who've spent time with rulers,
will best even those…who should know better.
— Scott Baldridge, 2007
I wrote this silly little poem in 2007. (I can safely claim to be a non-poet.) I stumbled across it in an email recently looking for another email and thought I would share it. Note that even then, years before there was anything called "Common Core," I was advocating that elementary students use rulers, protractors, beakers, weighing scales, etc. to build an intuitive understanding of units. At the time I wrote this little poem, I did not realize that a few short years later I would be writing an entire curriculum, A Story of Units, based upon manipulating units.

What is the sum 1+2+3+4+…+24+25?
Intended Audience: Math teachers, prospective teachers, and parents (public, private, homeschool).
In this video, 6-year-old Autumn shows how to find the sum
This problem actually has a rich history involving one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived: Carl Friedrich Gauss. Please share Gauss' fascinating story with your children or students. The story goes like this: When Gauss was seven, his elementary instructor gave what the teacher thought was an extra-pointless exercise of adding up the first (say) 25 numbers just to keep his students busy for an hour. Almost immediately, young Gauss threw down his slate and declared, "There it lies." When the hour was up, the teacher inspected Gauss' answer and found it to be correct. An interesting article investigating the full story can be found here.
Autumn's solution to this question was probably very similar to how Gauss solved it. In the video, I mention that Autumn ran up stairs and came down 10 minutes later with the solution. Here is her actual work (click Autumns_Work for a .pdf version):
In this picture you can see her thinking: Pairing up 1+25, 2+24, 3+23, etc. and keeping track of which terms she summed on the line below (you can also see the left over 13 at the end). I think what happened next is that she recognized (in her mind) that
because she writes "same as 13 x 25." Regardless, you can see her calculating the
just as she did in the video, and you can see me checking her work underneath (and actually showing her another mental math technique–look!).
For Teachers who teach Eureka Math: This sum is called a finite series because it is a sum of a finite sequence of numbers. We explore this particular series in many different places in the high school curriculum, but a particularly interesting discussion around this series occurs in Lesson 8 of Module 3 of Grade 9 (Algebra I). In that discussion we show how the sum can be visualized as "triangles:"
–Grade 9, Module 3, Lesson 8 of Eureka Math/EngageNY
This visualization quickly leads (through pictures!) to the general formula of the sum of the first n positive integers:
Plugging 25 in for n shows that , which is what Autumn derived. If you are teaching Lesson 8 (or any of the other lessons where this series shows up), think about sharing this video of Autumn with your class as a way to stimulate a discussion with your students.
As always, comments are welcomed! In particular, we are trying out different places to do math. The math in this video was done on the hood of a Porsche 914. We have friends with all kinds of cool sports cars who may be willing to let us borrow them for an afternoon, so look for more "Math on the hood of sports cars" soon (especially if we get positive feedback to do more videos like this).

Eureka Math Curriculum: A Breakout Hit
In his opinion article at US.News & World Report, Common Core's First Breakout Hit, Robert Pondiscio discusses how the EngageNY curriculum (both the English Language Arts and Mathematics curricula) is being warmly received by school districts and states all across the country:
"I recently obtained data from the New York State Education Department showing that while EngageNY units, lessons and curriculum modules have been downloaded nearly 20 million times as of early May, more than half of those users have been outside of New York. EngageNY may be quietly emerging as Common Core's first breakout hit."
Why might Eureka Math/EngageNY be a breakout hit? There are, of course, a number of reasons. I hope and think that one of the reasons is because teachers have been searching for and finally found a mathematics curriculum that actually works for them–that they are seeing marked improvement in their students' understanding of mathematics like no other curriculum before, and that news is spreading across the country.
I think teachers are the real breakout hits.

In Memory of Dr. Dolores Margaret Richard Spikes
Mathematics is…mathematics. It may seem cold and impersonal at times—appearing not to be driven by human wants or desires but by the precise statements of assumptions and propositions that lead to the proofs of theorems. This is just not so! Math is, after all, as human as art. And yet, the seemingly impersonal nature of the discipline is actually one of its greatest assets. Mathematicians' shared intensity to irrefutable argument is one of the reasons why we as a group love to celebrate the beautiful mind of anyone who discovers and proves a new theorem.
Today I wish to celebrate the mathematical genius of Dr. Dolores Margaret Richard Spikes, a Ph.D. alumna of Louisiana State University who died last week. Help celebrate one of her mathematical accomplishments with me: take a moment to read and absorb the abstract to her 1971 Ph.D. thesis:
Title: Semi-Valuations and Groups of Divisibility
From the abstract: This paper gives procedures for constructing a class of groups of divisibility of rings (not necessarily domains) which properly includes the class constructed by Ohm. Toward that end, we first extend the concept of a semi-valuation of a field to rings which may contain zero-divisiors. The notion of a composite of two valuations of fields is then extended to the notion of a composite of two semi-valuations of total quotient rings (which may not be fields), and the construction of this composite is then related to an exact sequence of semi-value groups. Necessary and sufficient conditions for this sequence to be lexicographically exact are given.
Dr. Spikes also made history in 1971 by becoming the first black graduate to receive a doctorate in mathematics from Louisiana State University. She was only the 19th African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics at any university. Her thesis work stands on its own and is a true testament to her intellect, but the circumstances of the times surrounding her achievement makes it all the more remarkable. Thank you for your contributions to mathematics, Dr. Spikes.
I highly encourage everyone to read more about Dr. Spike's rich and impactful life by visiting her Wikipedia page and reading the excellent reference articles there. Also, check this out.

A Quick Comparison of a State Assessment and Eureka Math
by Scott Baldridge and Ben McCarty
Intended Audience: Parents, teachers, and other educators involved in the Eureka Math/EngageNY Curriculum.
In this article, we simply discuss types of math problems from a state assessment and then show similar problems from the Eureka Math curriculum. We focus on the new TCAP Achievement Test (called TNReady Math), mainly because one of the authors of this article (Ben McCarty) is an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Memphis. The format of this post is simple: we will discuss features of the TCAP and then show examples that match those features in the Grade 3 Eureka Math curriculum.
Example 1: Language
From the old Grade 3 TCAP sample test:
and a similar problem from Eureka Math Grade 3 (Module 1, Lesson 13):
Note the similarity in the language of "number sentence" between the two problems. Language like this will very likely continue to be used in the new TNReady assessments. Students using Eureka Math will be prepared for that language. This aspect is particularly important for fractions in 3rd and 4th grade where Eureka Math uses the exact same language (like "unit fraction") as specified in the Tennessee Academic Standards.
Example 2: Explain-Your-Reasoning Problems
As explained in the "Seven Things You Need to Know About TNReady Math" document, the new TNReady assessments will no longer be all multiple-choice and instead will have a variety of formats:
3. TNReady will replace the state's multiple choice only test in math and will include a variety of questions.
Eureka Math teaches a variety of answer formats that should mesh well with the types of questions asked on TNReady. Eureka Math also gives insight and guidance to the teacher in how to model ways to answer these problems (cf. the teacher-student vignette on the left hand side):
This problem was taken from Grade 3, Module 3, Lesson 11. This one explanation describes three different models/strategies that students can use in explaining their answer: (1) The tape diagram at the top, (2) the use of letters to represent unknowns, and (3) several mental math strategies for finding 72-28. Taken altogether, and enacted in daily use over the entire year, these explanation strategies become part of the bread-and-butter methods students can use to answer TNReady assessment problems.
Example 3: Multi-step Problems
Also explained in the "Seven Things You Need to Know About TNReady Math" document, the new TNReady assessments will have many more multistep problems than the old assessments:
4. TNReady will ask students to solve multi-step problems, many without using a calculator, to show what they know.
Multistep problems are one of the prominent features of the Eureka Math curriculum; it truly exceeds other curricula in preparing students for multistep problems. The problem in Example 2 above is one such example, but for good measure, here is another example:
The tape diagram (the picture between the two paragraphs) helps students convert this multistep problem into pictures they can use to solve the problem. The TNReady assessments will expect students to be fluent with answering word problems using tape diagrams and other models because they are part of the standards at every grade. Compared to the mostly-one-step problems of the old TCAP, students using the Eureka Math curriculum will be ready to excel on the new TNReady assessments.

Meet Mathematician Jeremy Van Horn-Morris
Intended Audience: College students, and high school students who think they may be potential math geniuses.
In this episode we meet Jeremy Van Horn-Morris, a mathematician from the University of Arkansas, who talks to us about some geometric and visual tools mathematicians use to understand questions in classical physics concerning the motion of particles.
Jeremy discusses some of the motivation behind his paper with Kenneth Baker and John Etnyre, Cabling, contact structures and mapping class monoids. Here is the abstract to their paper:
In this paper we discuss the change in contact structures as their supporting open book decompositions have their binding components cabled. To facilitate this and applications we define the notion of a rational open book decomposition that generalizes the standard notion of open book decomposition and allows one to more easily study surgeries on transverse knots. As a corollary to our investigation we are able to show there are Stein fillable contact structures supported by open books whose monodromies cannot be written as a product of positive Dehn twists. We also exhibit several monoids in the mapping class group of a surface that have contact geometric significance.
While the video above is for a general audience, Jeremy Van Horn-Morris's paper is not (it's written for other mathematicians). However, high school students who think they are potential math geniuses may still enjoy looking at it to see what advanced theorems and proofs look like.
Students and mathematicians alike will also enjoy visiting Kenneth Baker's blog, Sketches of Topology. The post, Its full of surfaces, provides a stunning visualization and description of the open book decomposition coming from the trefoil knot, which was mentioned by Jeremy the end of our interview. Some additional posts containing phenomenal depictions of open book decompositions can be found here and here.

In celebrating America, we must first celebrate the author of our freedom. A great video to lead your congregation in prayer and thanksgiving for our nation.
While performing priestly duties at the temple, Zechariah is met by a heavenly stranger, who gives him news so unexpected God renders him utterly silent. Includes an mp3 of the music used in the video version.
For all of us who need the occasional "permission" to step out of the kitchen and into the throne room of God.
Almost overnight Pokémon GO has become the most popular app of all time. But could it be that Jesus came up with the idea first? This is a great intro for a message or group discussion on living and sharing our faith (the two are connected)!
The events of September 11th 2001 reshaped our world. All these years later, we can still feel the heartache. 9/11 was a day of unimaginable tragedy. Yet, in the midst of the chaos, witnessed the birth of new heroes and experienced the unquestioned resolve of our Nation. Today, let us remember those who were taken far too soon. Let us pray for their families and pray for our nation.
As the school year approaches, we need to take a moment to pray for our children. We need to ask God to watch over our children. To lead them, protect them and help them make right choices. We need to ask God to empower them to live out their faith and show them how to be an example of God's great love.
Throughout the history of our nation, countless patriots have given their very lives defending our right and privilege to select our nation's leaders. However, in the last presidential election, over 93 million eligible citizens choose not to vote. Our nation is plagued by an epidemic of apathy. The National Day of Prayer Task Force has developed the "Pray For Election Day" campaign to encourage prayer for our nations leaders, boost voter registration, and to inspire Christians to vote their values. Find out more about this campaign at www.nationaldayofprayer.org.
As Jesus spent 40 days in the desert praying and fasting, let us follow his lead during the season of Lent with self-denial, repentance, giving, and renewal. This video uses powerful images and music to remind your congregation of God's love and sacrifice, which should encourage each of us to deny self and make God first place in our lives. Prepare your congregation for the celebration and sacrifice of Lent.
Two-part comedy sketch about a clueless young man (or woman) attempting contact God by phone. Great accompaniment for presentations on prayer or on God's character.

We live in a world that can be confusing and discouraging at times. Amidst the turmoil, God has called his people to be holy, set apart for Him.
Using stylized illustrations and reflective music, this Christmas prayer asks God for strength to have the faith of Mary, joy to be astonished as the shepherds, humility to be as selfless as the wise men, and courage to walk the Savior's path. An appropriate fit for any Christmas service.
Christmas is so much more than a holiday. It's a time to stop and remember the amazing grace of God, the birth of The Messiah and the grace God has shown us through Him. This Christmas, may the world see Christmas for what it truly is…a celebration of our Savior, the only Son of God.
Using scriptural examples from Daniel 6:10 and Philippians 4:6, this mini-movie explores the inseparable connection between prayer and thanksgiving. Great for services around the Thanksgiving Holiday or any sermon dealing with the topics of prayer and thankfulness.
When Mike and Jami sit down for their Thanksgiving dinner, Jami's prayer reflects more of a what they don't have than what they do.
We are inclined to seek large, spectacular signs and wonders, but God has always revealed Himself through small, seemingly insignificant things. Great in the Small is a poignant reminder that God does amazing things with the smallest of moments. Perfect for services with a focus on faith and humility.
Two American's September 11th, 2001 accounts meet, as each discovers their security is in God alone.
This outreach-focused sermon illustration mini-movie depicts a wide variety of people struggling alone with difficult situations, with motion tracked text telling their stories. In the second half, their lives are transformed by someone who reached out to them. This powerful piece tackles themes of mentorship, small groups, recovery, addiction, and evangelism.
We gather together for a purpose. We gather to corporately come before God's throne. We gather to sing His praise, exalt His name and surrender ourselves. We gather expectantly, knowing His presence dwells among us as we worship.
Worship is about surrender. It's about laying our lives at the feet of Jesus and declaring we belong to Him. It's about complete devotion, unhindered praise and a passionate love for our Savior. It's saying to our Father God; "I Am Yours"!
Graduation is such a proud time for parents, but it's also a bittersweet milestone. Did I prepare them for life? Will they follow their faith and not follow the crowd? In this video, the Skitzy Chicks share a prayer for our graduates as they head out into the world.
This mini-movie explores the reasons for giving, fasting, and praying during the season of Lent. It can be used to explain to your congregation and visitors the reasons for observing these customs leading up to Easter. Great for Ash Wednesday or any service during the Lent season.
Lent is a time of prayer, repentance, giving, and self-denial. As Jesus spent 40 days in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11), where He endured temptation by the devil, we follow his example during the season of lent where we deny self, pray, and focus on God. Use this powerful video to prepare your congregation for the celebration and sacrifice of lent. As we deny ourselves, repent, and prepare our hearts for Easter, we grow closer in our relationship with the Lord.
A prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God for sending us the greatest gift of His Son Jesus Christ. Featuring holiday candles and a wintery soundtrack, this mini-movie can be used as an intro to open a Christmas Eve worship service, as a transition just before the sermon, or as a benediction to close the evening service.
A happy year - it's something we'd all like to have. However, we must look beyond our circumstances in our pursuit of happiness. This video is a prayer to God, seeking strengthened faith rather than an easy path in life
To be truly grateful, one must not simply feel gratitude but actually express it. Set against the backdrop of a fall setting and uplifting acoustic music score, this Thanksgiving prayer not only expresses genuine thanks for all of the blessings we enjoy, but it also inspires us to turn that gratitude into action by reaching out to those in need all around us.
This is the Spanish version of A Prayer of Thanksgiving. With Autumn themed visuals, this prayer offers thanks to God for life and breath, family and friends, the beauty and mystery of creation, and ultimately His Son Jesus Christ. Perfect as an intro or closing to your Fall and Thanksgiving themed services and events.
This prayer of thanks is perfect as an intro or closing to your Fall and Thanksgiving themed services and events.
What exactly is prayer? Is it a time for us to tell Jesus about all of our problems and ask him to fix them? Or, rather, is it a two-way conversation with our Lord and Savior? When you pray, who does most of the talking? Do you ever let Jesus get a word in?
We're called to pray without ceasing…and when Tommy takes that seriously, his friend begins to think he's hallucinating. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 has never been this funny.

Sometimes it can feel like the world around us is falling apart and we must intervene with our own set of plans. But with all of these "grand schemes, plots, and battle strategies" to save humanity, are we potentially missing the obvious problems in front of us? From the producers of the hilarious, best-selling series, Coffee with Jesus comes a new adventure. It will surely be a hit with your church audience as we explore what it means to truly "save the world". With the purchase of this video also comes four accompanying Mornings with Jesus themed text slides to use in your sermon or service.
Our lives are constantly filled with noise. So much that we forget the value of finding silence and resting with God. This mini movie uses a powerful soundtrack, stunning images and a simple and moving message to remind us of the importance of those silent transitions.
In Matthew 6, Jesus taught us to pray in this way. This video can be used to begin your service, to kick off your time of worship, or as an introduction to your message. The download includes two versions - one with the modern translation and one with the traditional translation.
Three weeks into New Years' resolutions, the ever-resourceful Emily seeks praise from a professional—and finds it's not quite what she expected.
A young graduate struggles with the news that the plans she had are seemingly different than the plans God has.
A father's love is a profound picture of the unconditional love of God. This thoughtful prayer will honor fathers of all ages in your congregation - whether they are fathers biologically or through adoption. "A Prayer for Fathers" will reaffirm how much they are respected and loved, all while lifting them up to the Lord together as one church family.
Jesse and Jordan need something from their father but are reluctant to ask. A humorous illustration of why we sometimes hesitate to go to God with our needs.
Kara wants to know how to pray, but can't seem to understand it's not about a formula, but spending time with the Father.
A prayer of thanksgiving to God for His wonderful creation: Our moms! Use this Mother's Day mini-movie to ask God to bless the mothers in your congregation with His strength, peace, and love, so they can can continue to give it all away to us!
A mother's love is a beautiful picture of the unconditional love of God. This thoughtful prayer will honor mothers of all ages in your congregation - whether they are mothers biologically or through adoption. "A Prayer for Moms" will reaffirm how much they are appreciated and loved, all while lifting them up to the Lord together as one church family. (Includes a PDF of the prayer to print for handouts or bulletin inserts).

Project Description Web Page Review this project
LimeSurvey (formerly PHPSurveyor) is a Web application that interacts with MySQL, MSSQL, or Postgres to develop surveys, publish surveys, and collect responses to surveys. Once a survey has been created, data can be inserted into the survey either by a "pretty" public screen which presents each question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It includes the capacity to generate individualized "tokens", so that invitations can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic statistics function.

The Scottish Executive has signed a national IT contract with outsourcer Anite to integrate its social care IT framework with social care databases held by Scottish local authorities.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends

The supplier's Swift social care solution will be integrated with the Scottish Executive's eCare Multi-Agency Stores system.
As a result, social care practitioners will have access to critical data from other agencies, ultimately improving protection and support for vulnerable sections of society.
Anite said the move means its existing nine Scottish local authority customers will also benefit from a more integrated and cost-effective implementation process, through shared procurement.
Hazel McMorrow, head of performance and resources at Stirling council and chair of the Swift user group, said, "The national contract is a significant milestone in achieving the effective sharing of data across the Scottish public sector.
"By integrating information systems, service providers will be able to work more effectively with colleagues from other agencies. The benefits include better-informed services, enhanced decision-making processes and, ultimately, improved outcomes for citizens receiving social care."
Peter Russell, head of the efficient government group at the Scottish Executive, said, "Shared procurement represents one of the most significant financial opportunities in aggregating and optimising the considerable public sector spend in Scotland. This model of procurement is one that could be used for any vendor who has multiple installations of their product in Scotland."
