Roger Day, Ph.D., NBCT Mathematics Department Chair Pontiac Township High School Pontiac, Illinois Areas of Expertise: Understanding and applying probability and statistics; mathematics teacher education Dr. Day is frequent presenter at regional and national conferences including NCTM. He was a member of the writing team for the NCTM Navigations Project and is a member of the editorial board for NCTM Mathematics Teacher. A National Board Certified Teacher, Dr Day explains “one of my goals is to try to help students see mathematics all around them,” Examples of his contributions can be seen in the chapters on representing and interpreting data. Program Authors Our program authors make certain that the McGraw-Hill mathematics program prepares students for a smooth transition from elementary to middle school mathematics by providing strong development of foundational skills. These authors ensure consistency across grades and monitor the adherence to the CCSS. Mary Behr Altieri Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES Yorktown Heights, New York Area of Expertise: Algebraic thinking across all grade levels; conceptual development of multiplication and division from primary grades through intermediate grades Ms. Altieri received the National Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics. Her work as a Math Mentor for the New York State Math Mentor program provided her with suggestions for the Lunchroom Chat feature to help classroom teachers share their ideas. Don S. Balka Professor Emeritus Saint Mary's College Notre Dame, Indiana Area of Expertise: Use of manipulatives; algebra instruction; and children’s literature and mathematics Mr. Balka’s has shared his expertise on the use of manipulatives in more than 2,000 workshops at regional and national conferences over the last 20 years. His newest book, Visible Thinking in the K–8 Mathematics Classroom explains why making students' thought processes visible is the key to effective mathematics instruction. Examples of ‘visual thinking’ can be found throughout the student edition.
Philip D. Gonsalves Mathematics Coordinator, Alameda County Office of Education and California State University East Bay Hayward, California Area of Expertise: Professional development (pre-service and in-service); curriculum and assessment development; and effective use and integration of technology Mr. Gonsalves is a former middle school teacher who worked on the GEMS (Great Explorations in Math and Science) program. One of his chief recommendations is that we teach students several methods for attacking the same problem, and give them fewer problems to solve but expect them to show more than one way to solve each one. The write-in text allows students to show multiple methods side by side and lets kids pick the way that works best in a particular situation. Ellen C. Grace Consultant Albuquerque, New Mexico Areas of Expertise: Incorporating children’s literature; creating math-science connections; building conceptual development; and early childhood best practices The Reading and Language Arts support activities help teachers to present math concepts in ways familiar to students. Ms Grace’s ideas can be seen in the ‘Modeling the Lesson’ exercises and the ‘Hands-on Math’ lessons in Grades 3-5. Stephen Krulik 2011 NCTM Lifetime Achievement Award Professor Emeritus Mathematics Education -Temple University Cherry Hill, New Jersey Areas of Expertise: Teaching problem solving; student motivation and methods for teaching mathematics Dr. Krulik served on the committee responsible for preparing the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics and was the editor of the NCTM’s 1980 yearbook “Problem Solving in School Mathematics”. His major focus is on preparing all students to reason and problem-solve in their mathematics classroom, as well as in their lives. The Problem Solving lessons reflect his expertise in connecting real world contexts in the development of the problem solving strategy. Rhonda J. Molix-Bailey Mathematics Consultant, Mathematics by Design Desoto, Texas Area of Expertise: Scope and sequence development; parent support and geometry in grades K-12 mathematics Ms. Molix-Bailey has served in various capacities in the field of education including classroom teacher, National consultant, a program director and as student-coach. She is co-author of the ‘What's Math Got to Do With It’ videos. Her expertise is demonstrated in suggestions for how parents can assist school children with mathematics through fun activities.
