4. What about the Waiver…. ?
WAIVER: The US DOE approved another one year waiver regarding the assessment requirements for students who are accelerated into Regents Mathematics courses in Grades 7 and 8.  Under the waiver (like last year) districts may exempt students who are in Regents Mathematics courses, and who will take a Regents Mathematics Assessment in June 2015, from the grade level (7 or 8) Mathematics Assessment administered in April.  The Board of Regents were presented with the amendment to the regulations at the October meeting.  Those regulation changes will be put in the public register and will come before the Board for final approval in January.
THE FOLLOWING UPDATED DOUBLE TESTING FIELD MEMO DATED 2/26/2014 MAY PROVIDE ANSWERS TO WHAT OCCURRED LAST YEAR BASED ON THE WAIVER. THIS MEMO IS LOCATED AT

G.CO.A.2 Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
G.CO.A.3 Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself. Regular Polygons
NYSED: Trapezoid is defined as “A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.”

 G.CO.A.5 Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another. Students will need to be able to perform and describe transformations in the coordinate plane as well, still need to know the “rules”.

A rigid motion of the plane ( also known as an isometry ) is a motion which preserves distance and angle measure.

Example: rhombus is a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals.
These theorems need not be grand theorems, but rather any non-obvious statement that can be justified on the basis of previously established statements. Proof by contradiction, valid method of proof.

36. Lesson 4 Module 3
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎(𝑃𝑛)=[𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃𝑛)] (1/2)( ℎ 𝑛 )
Think of the regular polygon when it is inscribed in a circle. What happens to
ℎ 𝑛 and 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃𝑛) as 𝑛 approaches infinity (𝑛→∞) in terms of the radius and circumference of the circle?
As 𝑛 increases and approaches infinity, the height ℎ 𝑛 becomes closer and closer to the length of the radius (as 𝑛→∞, ℎ 𝑛 →𝑟).
As 𝑛 increases and approaches infinity,
𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃𝑛) becomes closer and closer to the circumference of the circle
(as 𝑛→∞, 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃𝑛)→𝐶)
Since we are defining the area of a circle as the limit of the areas of the inscribed regular polygon, substitute 𝑟 for ℎ 𝑛 and 𝐶 for 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃𝑛) in the formulation for the area of a circle:
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎(𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑙𝑒)=(1/2 )𝑟𝐶
=(1/2) 𝑟(2𝜋𝑟) = 𝜋 𝑟 2

37. We are going to show why the circumference of a circle has the formula 𝟐𝝅𝒓. Circle 𝑪𝟏 below has a diameter of 𝒅=𝟏, and circle 𝑪𝟐 has a diameter of 𝒅=𝟐𝒓.
All circles are similar. What scale factor of the similarity transformation takes 𝑪𝟏 to 𝑪𝟐?
A scale factor of 𝟐𝒓.
Since the circumference of a circle is a one-dimensional measurement, the value of the ratio of two circumferences is equal to the value of the ratio of their respective diameters. Rewrite the following equation by filling in the appropriate values for the diameters of 𝑪𝟏 and 𝑪𝟐:
𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞(𝑪𝟐)/𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞(𝑪𝟏)=𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫(𝑪𝟐)/𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫(𝑪𝟏)
𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆(𝑪𝟐)/𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆(𝑪𝟏)=𝟐𝒓/𝟏
Since we have defined 𝝅 to be the circumference of a circle whose diameter is 𝟏, rewrite the above equation using this definition for 𝑪𝟏.
𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆(𝑪𝟐)/𝝅=𝟐𝒓/𝟏
Rewrite the equation to show a formula for the circumference of 𝑪𝟐.

It is given that point D is the image of point A after a reflection in line CH.
It is given that line CH is the perpendicular bisector of segment BE at point C. Since a bisector divides a segment into two congruent segments at its midpoint, segment BC is congruent to segment EC . Point E is the image of point B after a reflection over the line CH, since points B and E are equidistant from point C and it is given that line CH is perpendicular to BE.
Point C is on line CH therefore, point C maps to itself after the reflection over line CH.
Since all three vertices of triangle ABC map to all three vertices of triangle DEC under the same line reflection, then ∆ABC≅∆ DEC because a line reflection is a rigid motion and triangles are congruent when one can be mapped onto the other using a sequence of rigid motions.

53. Standards Clarifications
In an effort to ensure that the standards can be interpreted by teachers and used effectively to inform classroom instruction, several standards of the Geometry curriculum have been identified as needing some clarification. These clarifications are outlined below.
G-CO.3
Trapezoid is defined as “A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.”
G-CO.9, G-CO.10, G-CO.11, G-SRT.4
Theorems include but are not limited to the listed theorems.
G-CO.12
Constructions include but are not limited to the listed constructions.
G-SRT.5
ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS, and Hypotenuse-Leg theorem are valid criteria for triangle congruence.
AA, SAS, and SSS are valid criteria for triangle similarity.

54. Regents Examination in Geometry (Common Core) Design Test Component
In response to field feedback, the Educator Guide to the Regents Examination in Geometry (Common Core) has been updated. 
One important refinement is that there will be two 6-credit constructed-response questions: one 6-credit question will require students to develop multi-step, extended logical arguments and proofs involving major content, and one 6-credit question will require students to use modeling to solve real-world problems. This refinement balances field expectations with what the standards require, and will allow students the opportunity to exhibit the knowledge and skills associated with both types of questions. 
The guide also provides additional information about the types of questions that will appear on the test in June 2015. 
Updates are shown as highlighted text in the revised guide posted at:

55. What the STANDARDS say about ACCELERATION
Students who are capable of moving more quickly deserve thoughtful attention, both to ensure that they are challenged and that they are mastering the full range of mathematical content and skills.
Rather than skipping or rushing through content, students should have appropriate progressions of foundational content…the continuity of the learning progression is not disrupted.
Skipping material to get students to a particular point in the curriculum will likely create gaps…which may create additional problems later.
Some of the highest priority content for college and career readiness comes from grades 6-8. (Ratio and proportional reasoning/geometry/algebra)
EngageNY.org

56. Placing students into tracks too early should be avoided at all costs, it is not recommended to compact the standards before grade 7.
Districts are encouraged to have a well-crafted sequence of compacted courses, which require a faster pace to complete…compacting 3 years of content into 2 years.
Decisions to accelerate are almost always a joint decision between the school and the family, serious efforts must be made to consider solid evidence of student learning.
EngageNY.org

57. I want my AP Calculus
Unfortunately, many parents and community leaders look upon pre-CCSS grade 8 courses as mostly “skippable.”
They think of CCSS grade 8 in that old paradigm and push for “skipping” the grade again in order to reach Calc AP by 12th grade.
But there’s a problem with that…

Math Studio Talk Video Series on Engageny: Math coach Nick Timpone takes us from standards in kindergarten through Grade 5 and demonstrates hands-on ideas, games, activities and models that teachers can take back to their classrooms or parents can use as a tool as they help their children with their homework.  Since the standards move students from a basic understanding of numbers to more complex math like decimals and fractions, you will also see how these concepts and strategies build upon each other to help students' math knowledge progress from grade to grade.

66. Scaffolding Instruction for English Language Learners: A Resource Guide for Mathematics
The resource guides were developed by national experts in ELL instruction, Diane August and Diane Staehr Fenner, who have developed these ELL scaffolds for New York State that are aligned to the Common Core and are research-based instructional strategies for developing content and language with ELL students. The resource guides first provide a description of each scaffolding strategy used, and explain the research basis for such approaches. The guides then provide examples of lessons from each partner organization that has worked with NYS educators to develop optional curriculum modules on EngageNY, embedding research-based scaffolds into the lessons. The examples include instructions for teachers, actions for students, and additional resources to facilitate implementing each scaffolding technique.

68. New York State Teacher of the Year
2016 Information
Purpose
New York State wishes to recognize and celebrate exceptionally skilled and passionate educators. This year, we will identify five teachers to serve as ambassadors for New York State teachers. Of these five teachers, one will be selected as the New York State Teacher of the Year and nominated for the National Teacher of the Year program.
Selection Criteria
A nominee must:
be rated “effective” or “highly effective” on his or her annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) or, if the APPR is not applicable to his or her current teaching area, have a record of superior teaching performance as evidenced by student learning gains, assessments, and recognition of work;
demonstrate exceptional educational talent as evidenced by effective instructional practices and student learning results in the classroom and school;
be an exceptionally skilled and dedicated teacher;
be appropriately credentialed within his or her current teaching area and work directly with students in a public school at any grade level or in any subject area from pre-kindergarten through grade 12;
plan to remain in the field of education during and after his or her year of recognition;
have a minimum of five years of current teaching experience;
demonstrate leadership through active roles in the school and community; and
be poised and articulate, with the energy and equanimity to manage a busy schedule.
While all of these qualifications are considered, the most important qualification is the superior ability to inspire learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities.
Teacher of the Year Responsibilities
Being selected as the New York State Teacher of the Year and nominee for the National Teacher of the Year program is a great honor and responsibility. Selection as New York State Teacher of the Year carries with it an obligation to appear as a keynote speaker and make public appearances. The New York State Teacher of the Year is given the opportunity to participate in professional development trainings around the country (with other state teachers of the year), and traditionally meets the President of the United States at the White House. Schools and districts may also experience several of the other benefits of the Teacher of the Year program, such as:
access to information and resources gathered by the New York State Teachers of the Year as a result of participation in professional development at the state and/or national levels;
coaching for other teachers on instructional approaches;
information and technical support for principals about how to prepare and support excellent teachers; and
a visit by the Commissioner of Education to the classroom and school of the New York State Teacher of the Year.
Nomination and Selection Process
Any parent, community member, student, or educator can nominate an individual who meets the selection criteria outlined in the section above to be a New York State Teacher of the Year. Nominees must complete and submit the application by Monday, February 2, For more information on the timeline process, please visit the website.

72. From the Publishers’ Criteria:

73.
Write “know/do” objectives: Students will know _______ by doing _______.
Go to the nouns/verbs of the standards…
Write an assessment of the skills immediately after the objective, at the top of the lesson plan
Spiral objectives/ skills/ questions from everything previously learned to keep student learning sharp.
Use the progressions/previous year’s domains
Fold It In…
Add how/why questions (e.g., Why did you choose this answer? How do you know your answer is correct?) for different levels of learners and to push thinking.
Move from “Ping Pong” to “Volleyball:” instead of teacher responding to every student answer, get other students to respond to each other: “Do you agree with him?” “Why is that answer correct/incorrect?” “What would you add?”

74. Write questions in plan to specific students who are struggling with a standard; jot down their
responses in the plans during class.
After getting to the right answer, have student articulate their original error and how to avoid making the same error in the future.
Create leveled questions for assessments
