Mobile really goes mobile!! As we migrate from analog to digital, how do you store info? Evernote "makes it easy to remember things using your computer, phone, tablet and the web" and is available offline! We snapped a pic of a "Math bee" flyer and the spotlight is shining on new Common Core Geometry samples.

Recommended Free Online Tool and App: Evernote
 I started with Evernote in 2010 but it took until 2014 to become an Evernote devotee. I am able to access and add to info across Galaxy S4, a vintage 2006 laptop, a Surface Pro 2 and from machines everywhere I go including when there is no Internet signal -- take that Google Docs!! Evernote is an easy-to-use, free app that helps you remember everything across all of the devices you use, whether you are at home, at work, or on the go. Evernote home page |

Spotlight on Common Core Geometry: Sample Items!
Like a blockbuster opening, sample items are highly anticipated by Math educators!! Released on April 28th by New York State on www.engageny.org, the 14 Common Core Geometry items (3 multiple choice and 11 long answer) are much more rigorous than the existing Geometry Regents and covers trig, proofs and transformations. Most of the curriculum is yet to be released as only Module 1 is available (Algebra I had 5 modules), so stay tuned.

Math Confidence Photo of the Month
 Spelling bee? Integration bee!
If you do the Math, you get "Be there or be square!"
Since 2008, SUNY New Paltz has had a Calculus bee sponsored by SIAM (Society of industrial and Applied Mathematics). A great definition from Wikipedia: Calculus is the mathematical study of change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations.
