9. Common Core State Standards Mission • The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

12. Six Mathematical Shifts 1. FOCUSdeeply on what is emphasized in the Standards 2. COHERENCE: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades RIGOR:Requires 3. Fluency 4. Deep Understanding 5. Model/Apply 6. Dual Intensity

13. Shift 1: Focus Teachers use the power of the eraser and significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards so that students reach strong foundational knowledge and deep conceptual understanding and are able to transfer mathematical skills and understanding across concepts and grades. Students are able to transfer mathematical skills and understanding across concepts and grades. – Spend more time on Fewer Concepts Achievethecore.org

16. Pair-share Activity Describe what is and what is not FOCUS

17. Shift 2: Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Teachers can begin to count on deep conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Eachstandard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning. A student’s understanding of learning progressions can help them recognize if they are on track. Keep Building on learning year after year Achievethecore.org

20. Shift 3: Fluency Teachers help students to study algorithms as “general procedures” so they can gain insights to the structure of mathematics (e.g. organization, patterns, predictability). Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations and procedures so that they are more able to understand and manipulate more complex concepts. Students are able to apply a variety of appropriateproceduresflexiblyas they solve problems. Spend time Practicing (First Component of Rigor) Achievethecore.org

24. Shift 4: Deep Conceptual Understanding Teachers teach more than “how to get the answer;” they support students’ ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives so that students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures. Students demonstrate deep conceptual understanding of core math concepts by applying them to new situations as well as writing and speaking about their understanding.

27. Shift 5: Applications (Modeling) Teachers provide opportunities to apply math concepts in “real world” situations. Teachers in content areas outside of math ensure that students are using math to make meaning of and access content. Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so.

30. Shift 6: Dual Intensity There is a balance between practice and understanding; both are occurring with intensity. Teachers create opportunities for students to participate in “drills” and make use of those skills through extended application of math concepts.

33. Design and Organization

34. Design and Organization • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Carry across all grade levels • Connect with content standards in each grade • Describe “habits of mind” of a mathematically expert student Standards for Mathematical Content • K - 8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domains that progress over several grades. • 9 – 12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories

35. Standards for Mathematical Practice

36. Standards for Mathematical Practices “The Standards for Mathematical Practice are unique in that theydescribe how teachers need to teach to ensure their students become mathematically proficient. We were purposeful in calling them standards because then they won’t be ignored.” ~ Bill McCallum

37. Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

45. Design and Organization Standards for Mathematical Content • K-8 standards presented by grade level • Organized into domains that progress over several grades • Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level

46. Focal Points at Each Grade LevelEach grade level addresses specific “critical areas”

47. Mathematics | Grade 4 In Grade 4, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: 1) developing understanding and procedural fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends; 2) developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers; 3) understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry. Note:  listed above are excerpts from the original critical areas delineated on the CCSS document..

48. Clustersare groups of related standards.Standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject. Standardsdefine what students should be able to understand and be able to do - part of a cluster Domainsare large groups of related standards.
