“…The CCSSM is the first standards document since the NEA's Committee of Fifteen Syllabus in 1912 to delineate specific theorems for students to prove (Thomas & Edson, 2015). Therefore, although a cursory glance would confirm that all of these standards are indeed "covered," our results show that these textbooks did not provide opportunities for students to prove all of these theorems that the CCSSM prescribes.…”

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) explicitly states many specific theorems for students to prove across multiple domains (i.e., congruence, similarity, circles, and coordinates) in high school geometry. This study examined five high school geometry textbooks for how they approached proof of 17 theorems stated in the congruence domain focused on lines and angles, triangles, and parallelograms. Results showed that although textbooks provided 75 student opportunities to prove these theorems, no textbook provided student opportunities to prove all 17.Textbooks rarely had students write proofs from general conditional statements, and instead typically provided consistent hard scaffolding including the given, what to prove, and a diagram for all proof opportunities. Some of the textbooks used novel scaffolding such as partially completed proofs, flowchart proofs, second proofs, and hints in the back of the book. Textbooks need to continue shifting more responsibility to students proving the CCSSM theorems by incorporating more diverse scaffolding along with a process for removing the scaffolding as student learning progresses.

“…Millions of people worldwide are affected by this disease, the second most prevalent neurodegenerative condition next to Alzheimer's disease. [1] The English physician James Parkinson first defined Parkinson's disease in his 1817 monograph "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy." Parkinson described several people who displayed resting tremors, shuffling gait, stooped posture, sleep problems, and constipation.…”

Background: Sleep disturbances are non-motor manifestations, which occurs in up to 96% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). They include insomnia, disorders of daytime somnolence, sleep-related breathing disorders, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and rapid eye movement behavior disturbances. Sleep disorders have significant impact on the quality of life in Parkinson's disease patients. Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at three neurology referral hospitals. The aim was to assess the frequency and pattern of sleep disturbances among patients with PD. Questionnaires were used to obtain the demographic, clinical features and evaluation of sleep disturbances using PD sleep scale-2 (PDSS-2). The correlation of quality of sleep with the duration of the disease and severity of motor symptoms was assessed using Hoehn and Yahr staging. SPSS version 25 was the tool used for analysis—p value <0.05. Results: 71 patients with confirmed PD were studied. Males represented 70.4% and the mean age was 64.66±9.6 years. 38% had significant nocturnal sleep disturbances (PDSS-2≥18). The most common sleep disorders were nocturia 72% (51), sleep maintenance insomnia 46% (38), sleep refreshment 46%(34), waking up due to pain in arms or legs 45%(32) and(21%) 15 had nocturnal hallucinations. Poor sleepers exhibited longer disease duration but revealed no association with PD severity. Conclusion: In 71 patients with Parkinson's disease, one-third had significant sleep disturbances. PDSS-2 score was positively correlated to prolonged duration but not motor symptoms' severity.

How Common Is the Common Core?

Abstract: This article identifies major differences between NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, including examples and implications for practice.
