Curriculum Bulletins

New York City: A link to the City Department of Education with resources and support for the development and implementation of mathematics.
New York State: A link to state standards & resources for teaching mathematics.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM): Web site of the professional teacher organization with free downloads of the Curriculum Focal Points (Grades PreK-8), the most important mathematical topics for each grade level. Also available in hard copy in the main floor Reference Collection: Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (Ref QA 13 .P735).
Kraus Curriculum Development Library: A searchable online collection of curricula from all over the country. Most (1983-2000) are available in microfiche format, but, with the 20^th edition (2001), many curricula are available full text online (some earlier materials are being made available full text). If the curriculum is not available full-text the document number of the fiche is given and can be located in the Education Curriculum Center (ECC) on the first floor of Rosenthal Library (Room 109B). Fiche reader/printers in the adjoining Media Center are available to take notes and photocopy.

Textbooks

Sets of teacher's annotated editions of textbooks are in a collection just beyond the 4^th floor Juvenile Collection. They are arranged by curricular topic, assigned a number, and then alphabetical by publisher. Each publisher set is then arranged in grade order. The most relevant textbook ranges for mathematics are:

70 - Arithmetic (Mathematics, Elementary)
71 - Algebra
72 - Geometry
73 - Trigonometry
74 - Calculus

A set that can serve either as a textbook or supplementary resource is Investigations in Number, Data, & Space developed at TERC (Technical Education Research Centers). The 1^st edition is in the regular 4^th floor circulating collection under the call number LT 4400. The 2^nd edition is in the 4^th floor Textbook collection (Text 70 P5I – letter P, number 5, letter I.)

Journals

Some years are available full-text online as indicated. The most recent hard copies can be located by call number on the library 1^st floor. Use the ERIC database to determine which journal has articles on the desired topic.
