Math Miss Cox, Mrs. Grimon & Mrs. Jones
Common Core Parent Road Map • The way we taught students in the past simply does not prepare them for the higher demands of college and careers today and in the future. • In mathematics, this means three major changes: • We are concentrating on teaching a more focused set of major math concepts and skills. • Allowing more time to master important ideas and for skills to be taught in a more organized way throughout the year and from one grade to the next. • We are using rich and challenging math content to engage students in solving real-world problems • Want to know more about Common Core or how to support your student? • 6th Grade: http://www.cgcs.org/cms/lib/DC00001581/Centricity/Domain/36/ParentGuide_Math_6.pdf • 7th Grade: http://www.cgcs.org/cms/lib/DC00001581/Centricity/Domain/36/ParentGuide_Math_7.pdf • 8th Grade: http://www.cgcs.org/cms/lib/DC00001581/Centricity/Domain/36/ParentGuide_Math_8.pdf
