The 2012 Summer Session of the IAS/Park City Mathematics
Institute (PCMI) just wrapped up in Park City, Utah, last week.
More than sixty teachers from around the US and world
participated in PCMI's Secondary School Teachers Program

Now taking place: math education conversation of the day
"All you need now is a geometric interpretation of log i. For
an imaginary number the log is i times the phase, but I'm not
sure that is really an interpretation."

PUBLISHERS' CRITERIA FOR COMMON CORE
http://corestandards.org/assets/Math_Publishers_Criteria_K-8_Summer%202012_FINAL.pdf
The lead writers of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in
mathematics have finalized a set of guidelines for curricular
materials. The freely downloadable 24-page document aims to
guide the work of educational publishers in developing
textbooks and other instructional materials, as well as states
and school districts as they evaluate and select materials or
revise existing ones.
The second paragraph of the "Publishers' Criteria" document
states:
"Standards by themselves cannot raise achievement. Standards
don't stay up late at night working on lesson plans, or stay
after school making sure every student learns -- it's teachers
who do that. And standards don't implement themselves.
Education leaders from the state board to the building
principal must make the Standards a reality in schools.
Publishers too have a crucial role to play in providing the
tools that teachers and students need to meet higher standards.
This document, developed by the CCSSM writing team, aims to
support faithful CCSSM implementation by providing criteria for
materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards for
Mathematics."
