Is there anyone that uses the Carnegie math series for sixth grade? My district purchased it for this year but didn't purchase anything but the student books and teacher manuals. I need ideas for how to use this curriculum and use it in 50 minute periods. Do you have any ideas?
Also, I teach in 90 minutes blocks and usually get through 3-4 problems…I believe that each lesson is around 45 minutes tops…shorter if you have a more advanced group.

Why pay for college courses when I can learn calculus and more via youtube and other math forums like this one? However, my family and certain friends think it is senseless to learn math with no goal in mind. They are looking at the practicality of math versus the need for better employment. Who knows what the future holds? Do you?
I may end up working as a tutor someday. Even if that does not happen due to age discrimination, I always will enjoy SOLVING FOR X. Math is like a puzzle to me. I get excited when finding the value of x.
I may not have much in life but one thing is certain, nothing can separate me from my passion of numbers. Still, it hurts when people consider me to be crazy or dumb for spending my days off learning math. What do you say? Why do you think people say it is senseless to study math without a goal or just to learn it? Currently, I am learning the chain rule in calculus 1 and having fun playing with the functions.
I actually started in undergrad as a Math and Art Ed major, but stuck with Art is it was my passion. I only completed College Algebra and Calculus coursework in undergrad. I was told that I could potentially take the CSET to gain my supplementary authorization in introductory math in California.
Would anyone have insight into how to get the supplementary authorization? I'm confused by the CTC website, as some have said I can test out, but the website makes it seem like I'd still need to take more coursework. Would I need to take all 3 subtests, or just 1 & 2 to get my supp. auth. with the art credential I hold?
Don't quote me on it, but I think you have to pass all three parts to get a full math credential - i.e., one that allows you to teach any 7-12 math course up through calculus and AP statistics. If you pass 2 parts I think you get a supplemental that allows you to teach up to but not beyond Algebra 1

The Single Subject Teaching Credential in Foundational-Level Mathematics (test 1 and 2 only) authorizes an individual to teach all math courses up to and including Algebra II.
First of all this is not an ad but just a proud aunt sharing something. My nephew created a free app available in the ap store. It is called WileDMath and has gotten excellent reviews. I encourage you to check it out. ( he gets no money so again, not an ad). Let me know what you think, if you check it out!

And does anyone have contact info for a HOLT district rep?

My daughter wants to be a Math Teacher. She will be graduation with a math degree from SUNY Binghamton. She has applied and been accepted to both Binghamton Graduate School of Education and Columbia Teacher's College. Any thoughts? Binghamton is 2/3 the cost for tuition and it is not clear that she has housing at Columbia nor how much it would be.

my suggestion- get a job teaching first and than take courses. If she goes on for a Masters before getting experience she will be placing herself right out of the marketplace. I have a Masters plus 65 credits from Teacher's College and I am unemployable except as a sub.
