[quote=Anonymous]The claim is that only one mathematician was involved in developing the Common Core math standard?  Sorry, but again, that's just flat-out wrong...  here's a few more names from the Common Core Math Workgroup who have math expertise:

Susan K. Eddins is a retired, National Board Certified mathematics teacher. Eddins taught at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, a grade 10 – 12 public, selective-admissions high school for “gifted students who love math and science.”

Kaye Forgione - high school math teacher

Marci Ladd - masters in applied mathematics from Johns Hopkins and three years of experience as a math instructor at Montgomery College (1991-92) and Central Texas College (1993-95).

William McCallum - taught math at the university level since 1987, University of Arizona

Doug Sovde - classroom teaching experience in Bellvue, Washington, bachelors degree is in mathematics, and his teaching experience is in high school math.

Jason Zimba - bachelors and masters in mathematics and another masters plus a doctorate in physics, taught physics and mathematics at Bennington College, taught disadvantaged high school students, and children of non-English speaking immigrants

And then let's not forget about the Math Feedback Group which had more math SMEs and math teachers, and let's not forget about the National Policy Forum members, and then all of the external stakeholder groups like National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), NEA, AFT and yet another cast of hundreds of professional educators and experts who reviewed the standard, modified the standard, and provided input and vetting.

"Only one math teacher was involved in developing the Math portion of Common Core?"  Nope, sorry, not even a remotely credible claim.[/quote]
