  1. Happy Birthday CRMC 20 Years!

  2. Happy Birthday 20 + Years!

  3. In mathematics there are VARIABLES and CONSTANTS During CRMC’s twenty year history there have been many variables, but one constant. Ruby A. Tucker

  4. R Responsible: Whatever task was asked of Ruby, I was ALWAYS sure it would be well done.U Unassuming: Ruby is a wonderful unassuming person…there is not a pretentious bone in her body! And she is always ready to give credit to others.B Beautiful spirit: It was a privilege to get to know Ruby. She is a beautiful spirit and is the first to see the beautiful spirit in other, especially children.YYoung at heart. Ruby’s energy keeps us young at heart Helen P. Collins

  5. Whenever I think about my time at CRMC – even beyond the PRIME camps – the one face I see every time is that of Ruby Tucker- her smile, bright eyes and eager-to-be-of-assistance-demeanor. The thing about Ruby – you never really had to ask her to do anything: by the time you’d figure out something needed doing, Ruby was always busy getting it done! What a real jewel!Susan Pruet

  6. Ruby is CRMC's value-added resource. She has a love and appreciation for the great lessons and activities whose dusty pages might be passed over for the glossy print. Ruby always cheered when I dug out some of my favorite activities on yellowed, faded pages or even purple ditto sheets. She is a champion for the best mathematics for every student. She has cheerfully served as a mentor and coach. She has earned an advanced degree in cutting and pasting and an award for best supporting actress in the Phillips/Tucker Road Show. Ruby's service to the mathematics community proves that the best things in life and at CRMC are free. Thanks, Ruby.Kitty Fouche

  7. I was blessed to be able to work alongside Ruby when I came to the Collaborative as the secondary resource teacher. I learned so much from her example then. I am especially blessed, as is everyone associated with the Collaborative that Ruby continues to be a shining example for all of us. She is both a mentor and a friend! Kenneth Jones

  8. Ruby A. Tucker PRIME Scholarship This scholarship, administered by the CSU Foundation, will provide financial assistance to help girls with financial need attend PRIME Camp.

  9. CRMC First Director Helen Purks Collins 1989-1995, 1998

  10. CRMC…the earliest days

  11. 1989: The Ford Foundation $ 8,000 matching grant to create a local urban math collaborative

  12. 1989: The Ford Foundation Existing Mathematics Collaboratives: • Cleveland • Minneapolis-St. Paul • San Francisco • Philadelphia • Los Angeles • Pittsburgh • New Orleans • St. Louis • Raleigh-Durham • Memphis • San Diego

  13. We needed to • write the grant…the original collaborative was for high school teachers • enlist area school system support • create a board of business and industry leaders and educators (the collaboration) • raise $ 8,000

  14. CADRE of TEACHERS Chattahoochee Council of Teachers of Mathematics, NCTM affiliate

  15. Former Mayor Bill Feighner • Hosted luncheon • Helped develop the board Gene Demonet,Chairman of the Board Frank Brown Jim Ballengee John Boland Joyce Lee Glenn Vaughn Rolla Baumgartner Bob Bushong

  16. Now what?

  17. Birds of a Feather

  18. Ford Foundation $10,000 “NRM”

  19. C to Shining C Collaborative to Shining Collaborative $10,000 Travel Grant

  20. PRIME Positive Reinforcement in Mathematics Education Kitt Lumley Ruby Tucker

  21. Woodrow Wilson Foundation Pam Coffield Statistics and Data Analysis Geometry

  22. Mathematical Modeling

  23. Multiple grants per year High School Teachers Middle School Elementary

  24. The Knight Foundation $30,000 for Prep PRIME Telephone call from Knight Think BIGGER $250,000 Algebra for All

  25. Provided leadership for initiatives for the state of Georgia • Project ’92 • SYNERGY

  26. CRMC

  27. Birds of a Feather

  28. Improve math education for our students

  29. Develop Teacher Leaders CRMC!

  30. CRMC Second Director Susan Pruet 1995-1997

  31. CRMC Events 1997-1999 • Great New Hires! • Elementary Math/Science Camps • MathFest • CSU-Math Department/CRMC grant College Algebra through Mathematical Modeling • CRMC moved to Center for Excellence in Math/Science Education (CEMSE)

  32. My Favorite Problem from Columbus Fractions Food And…ughh Dieting Just in time for Thanksgiving!

  33. The Turkey Problem Susan’s diet allows her to eat ¼ pound of turkey breast. She ordered ¼ pound of turkey from the local deli. The sales person sliced 3 uniform slices, weighed the slices, and said, “This is a third of a pound.” So, how many of the 3 turkey slices could Susan eat and stay on her diet and get to eat as much as she is allowed?

  34. CRMC Third Director Ann Assad 1998-2004

  35. Connecting the Dots: Seeing the Whole Picture Ann Assad Austin Peay State University Clarksville, Tennessee

  36. Emerging research and recently published documents guided our work.

  37. National Council of Teachers of MathematicsPrinciples and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) • Emphasis on the Process Standards • Problem Solving • Reasoning and Proof • Communication • Connections • Representation

  38. Integration of Six Guiding Principles across the Standards • Equity – high expectations and strong support for all students. • Curriculum – a coherent curriculum, well articulated across the grade levels. • Teaching – challenging students and supporting their learning. • Learning – actively building knowledge through experience and prior knowledge. • Assessment – providing useful information for both teacher and student. • Technology – influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning.

  39. Education Development CenterK-12 Curriculum Summaries (1998, 2005) Provides information about research-based curricula for elementary, middle grades, and high school.

  40. Education Development CenterChoosing a Standards-Based Curriculum (2000) Provides guidance in reviewing standards-based curricula and for selecting and implementing curricula.

  41. Based on these documents, along with current research, CRMC developed a vision of P-12 mathematics education that integrated curriculum, teaching, and learning both horizontally (within grade levels) and vertically (between grade levels).

  42. High School Project MiddleSchool Project Early Childhood Project The implementation of this vision was the development of three integrated projects funded by Improving Teacher Quality State Grants (formerly Eisenhower).

  43. Teachers came together to share and learn.

  44. Students and teachers worked together in camps and classrooms.

  45. We relentlessly solved problems (and still do).

  46. A Question: What is the relationship between the area of a great circle of a sphere and the surface area of the sphere?
