[Time2000_t18 0193] TIME 2000 Regents Review
by Naomi Weinman 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Dear TIME 2000 Students, I hope you enjoyed today's seminar. At the seminar, we discussed the new Regents Review sessions that will be offered to prepare you for senior year. In the fall semester Methods course of senior year, you will take 3 quizzes based on the mathematics Regents exams. You are required to earn a minimum of 8 out of 10 points on the quizzes. If you do not earn at least an 8, you will be required to sit for a full Regents exam (3 hours maximum) and earn a grade of at least 80%. If you speak with the seniors, they will tell you that this is not as easy as it sounds. There have been many semesters when I have administered over 40 full exams. In our efforts to help you prepare for student teaching and for these quizzes, we will be offering the review sessions once a week. High school topics will be explored in as much detail as is needed through Regents problems; that is, discussions will go beyond the simple solutions. You would be expected to attend once per week and to spend an additional hour per week preparing for the class. Please complete the survey at the link below to let us know if you are interested in attending the classes and the best times for you. Please reply even if your answer is "no" so that I know you received this email. Link: https://goo.gl/forms/X0mlMPf4I6yOP2az2 Sincerely, Mrs. Weinman

[Time2000_t18 0190] [Mathedreunion 0016] Message from Alice Artzt about Dr. Metas
by Naomi Weinman via MathEdReunion 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

My dearest math education community, It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of Dr. Nick Metas. Dr. Metas was a wonderful story teller and always entertained us and his students with tales of the mathematicians he worked with and the less well known stories of those he didn't, which only an excellent historian would know. He was a devoted teacher who was considered one of the best, and a dedicated faculty member who gave his best right until the end. He was appreciated and will be missed by all who knew him. Please see below for details of his funeral arrangements. Warm regards, Alice Artzt Frederick Funeral Home 192-15 Northern Boulevard<https://maps.google.com/?q=192-15+Northern+Boulevard%0D+Flushing,+NY+11358%…> Flushing, NY 11358<https://maps.google.com/?q=192-15+Northern+Boulevard%0D+Flushing,+NY+11358%…> 718 357 6100<tel:(718)%20357-6100> Visiting hours will be: Monday from 6-9 PM Tuesday from 2PM-5PM and 7PM-9PM The final Mass for Dr. Metas will take place at: Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 196-10 Northern Boulevard, Flushing<https://maps.google.com/?q=196-10+Northern+Boulevard,+Flushing&entry=gmail&…> (across the street from the funeral home) on Wednesday at 9:30 AM. _______________________________________________ MathEdReunion mailing list MathEdReunion(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu To unsubscribe or change your preferences goto https://lists.qc.cuny.edu/mailman/listinfo/mathedreunion

Open Summer Positions at Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)<https://www.beammath.org/> * Counselor positions (for current undergrads) * Faculty positions (for teachers, professors, and professionals able to work during the summer) Counselor/Teaching Assistant This summer, change the lives of talented middle school students from underserved backgrounds. Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking undergraduate students or recent graduates to be counselors and teaching assistants for a summer program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. During summer 2018, we will run residential programs at Bard College and Union College in the Hudson Valley, and day programs in New York City and Los Angeles. At both programs, you'll create a vibrant social experience for kids who are discovering for the first time that there are other people who like doing mathematics; you'll also be a TA for classes on topics such as number theory, combinatorics, problem solving, and computer science. At our residential program, counselors will also live with the students in the campus dorms. Be a role model and guide for students who are just beginning to set their educational path! Counselors must be strong mathematically, be reliable, and take initiative. They should be charismatic and able to help the kids have fun. All counselors must be at least 18 years old by July 8, 2018 (if applying for LA positions, June 18, 2018). Residential Program: Compensation: $2,600 for four weeks, plus room, board, and a transportation stipend. Locations: Bard College, Union College Dates: July 5 to August 1, 2018 Non-residential Program: Compensation: $3,600 for six weeks, breakfast/lunch on weekdays, an unlimited MetroCard at the NYC program Location: New York City, Los Angeles LA Dates: June 11 to July 24, 2018 NYC Dates: July 2 to August 14, 2018 Deadline: rolling, but please apply by February 12, 2018 for full consideration For more information and to apply: https://www.beammath.org/counselor-info/ Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics: Summer Faculty Positions This summer, change the lives of talented middle school students from underserved backgrounds: teach them what mathematics really is. Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking instructors for a program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. Faculty design and teach their own courses to bright, underserved middle school students. During summer 2018, we will run residential programs at Bard College and Union College in the Hudson Valley, and day programs in New York City and Los Angeles. Residential Program (BEAM 7): Compensation: $5,000 for four weeks (or $3,300 for junior faculty such as graduate students or early-career teachers), plus room, board, and a transportation stipend. Location: Bard College and Union College, both located about 2 hours out of NYC. Our students, all from high-poverty New York City public schools, will be discovering a new environment in these idyllic settings. Dates: July 5 to August 1, 2018 Courses at BEAM 7 can be: * Pure math such as number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, or logic; * Applied math such as circuit design, programming, astrophysics, or genetics; or * Problem solving, either Math Team Strategies or Solving Big Problems. Non-residential Program: Compensation: $2,400-$5,600 for six weeks depending on course load (part-time positions available). Location: New York City or Los Angeles LA Dates: June 13 to July 24, 2018 NYC Dates: July 3 to August 14, 2018 BEAM 6 teachers receive outlines to help plan courses in Logical Reasoning, Math Team Strategies, Math Fundamentals, or Applied Math, and we are flexible for many different courses that meet our learning goals. For both: Ideal candidates include college or university professors (as well as graduate students) with strong teaching backgrounds, and middle or high school teachers with strong mathematics backgrounds. We've found that the community of teachers that we create, bringing together instructors from across many different academic areas, is one of the program's strengths and provides a great experience for all participants. Good candidates will work well on a close-knit team and will be able to bring unique curriculum perspectives to the program. Experience with other extracurricular outreach programs (such as math summer programs or math circles, MATHCOUNTS, programming workshops, or similar) are also a plus. We will provide mentorship, textbooks, and other resources as needed. This is a unique opportunity to influence the lives of young students. Our students have tremendous potential and a strong ability for abstract reasoning, but because of their schools and backgrounds they often have not had the same training as more affluent peers. They are devoted, doing many hours of matheach day (and loving it). We hope that you will join us (and them)! For more information and the application, contact us at info(a)beammath.org<mailto:info@beammath.org> or visit our website at www.beammath.org<http://www.beammath.org/>. -- Daniel Zaharopol Executive Director, Art of Problem Solving Foundation Director, Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics http://www.beammath.org dan_zaharopol(a)artofproblemsolving.org<mailto:dan_zaharopol@artofproblemsolving.org>
