The report first describes some general studies that should be conducted in relation to CCSSM: (i) case studies that target systemic action taken by states and districts; (ii) relational studies that research the conditions of effectiveness for the implementation of CCSSM; and (iii) experimental studies that investigate the effects of various interventions related to CCSSM. A list of suggested research questions on CCSSM then follows with accompanying discussion.

A recent technical report developed by Horizon Research explores a plausible research agenda for understanding the influence of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. The report, "Priority Research Agenda for Understanding the Influence of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics: Technical Report", takes into consideration a range of input from researchers. What are the reactions of teachers and school/district leaders to the research agenda?

The American Mathematical Society's Mathematical Imagery includes albums of mathematically inspired works in a variety of media--computer-generated fractals, quilts, origami, sculpture, painting, and more. Each image is described and can be sent as an e-postcard. The 2012 Calendar of Mathematical Imagery features some of these beautiful works.

It's time for a bit of reorganization as the end of the 2010-11 school year approaches. In a few days, this blog located at http://blog.TangentMinds.com will be changing to http://www.room70.com. All the same content will be available at a new address.

For example, an old blog post would look like:
