  1. St. Regis Catholic SchoolElementary and Academy Common Core Math Standards and IOWA Overview

  2. Common Core Math Standards • What are they? • Why do we need to use them?

  3. Common Core Math Standards • Building on the excellent foundation of standards states have laid, these standards are the first step in providing our young people with a high‐quality education. Two plus two should equal four, no matter where you are.

  4. The common core standards focus on core conceptual understandings and procedures starting in the early grades, thus enabling teachers to take the time needed to teach core concepts and procedures well ‐‐ and to give students the opportunity to really master them. It should be clear to every student, parent, and teacher what the standards of success are in every school.

  5. The K‐5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in: • Whole Numbers • Addition • Subtraction • Multiplication • Division • Fractions and Decimals This allows for students to apply more demanding math concepts and procedures, and move into applications In kindergarten, the standards follow successful international models and recommendations from the National Research Council’s Early Math Panel Report, by focusing kindergarten work on the number core: learning how numbers correspond to quantities, and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction).

  6. Having built a strong foundation K‐5, students can do hands on learning in geometry, algebra and probability and statistics. • Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well‐ prepared for algebra in grade 8. It is all about critical thinking and conceptual understanding

  7. The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics. The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics.

  8. These documents are merely a guide, created after viewing International Best Practices in classrooms and schools around the world. • Why would we not want to look and try to initiate more growth in ourselves and in our classrooms? • In education, we pride ourselves as being the example, initiators of change. change can lead to growth if applied with a concerted effort and a sound plan of action.

  9. IOWA Assessment Tool and St. Regis Catholic School… The IOWA is the MOST recognized National Assessment Tool in the United States

  10. Percentile Versus Percentage Explanation Suppose 100 people take a test of 50 items.If one of them got 40 of the items correct, then the percentage that he got correct is 80. He got 80 percent of the items correct.But we don't know what percentile he is in until we see what scores the other 99 people got.Suppose that all 99 of those other people got only 60% (or fewer) of the items correct. Then the person who got 80% did better than all other 99 people. He did better than 99% of the whole group of 100, so he is in the 99th percentile.

  11. What you should see: • Above grade level • 20-42 percentiles above the national average Grade 1 • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Measurements and Data • Geometry 1st Grade Snapshot

  12. What you should see: • Above grade level • 3-25 percentiles above the national average Grade 2 • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Measurements and Data • Geometry 2nd Grade Snapshot

  13. What you should see: • Above grade level • 8-26 percentiles above the national average Grade 3 • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Numbers and Operations-FRACTIONS • Measurements and Data • Geometry 3rd Grade Snapshot

  14. What you should see: • Above grade level in all areas except computation • 9-30 percentiles above the national average Grade 4 • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Numbers and Operations-Fractions • Measurements and Data • Geometry 4th Grade Snapshot

  15. What you should see: • Above grade level • 13-31 percentiles above the national average Grade 5 • Operations and Algebraic Thinking • Number and Operations in Base Ten • Numbers and Operations-Fractions • Measurements and Data • Geometry 5th Grade Snapshot

  16. What you should see: • Above grade level • 10-31 percentiles above the national average Grade 6 (Notice the Change in Concepts) • Ratios and Proportional Relationships • The Number System • Expressions and Equations • Geometry • Statistics and Probability 6th Grade Snapshot

  17. What you should see: • Above grade level • 20-32 percentiles above the national average Grade 7 • Ratios and Proportional Relationships • The Number System • Expressions and Equations • Geometry • Statistics and Probability 7th Grade Snapshot

  18. What you should see: • Above grade level • 22-34 percentiles above the national average Grade 8 • Ratios and Proportional Relationships • The Number System • Expressions and Equations • Functions • Geometry • Statistics and Probability 8th Grade Snapshot
