  2. What is the Common Core? • Learning expectations in mathematics and English language arts designed to prepare students for college and career success. • Communicate what is expected of students at each grade level, putting students, parents, teachers, and administrators on the same page, working toward shared goals.

  3. The Common Core State Standards: • Are aligned with college and work expectations • Are clear, understandable, and consistent • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills • Build on strengths and lessons of current state standards • Are informed by other top-performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in a global economy and society; and • Are evidence-based

  4. Benefits of Common Core Curriculum • Higher expectations for teaching and learning • Ensures college and career readiness for ALL students • Preparation to compete in a global economy • Fosters collaboration between home and school

  5. The Standards for 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.

  6. What Can You Do to Support your Child? • Learn more about CCSS and the Standards for Mathematical Practices • Have a discussion with your child • Discuss CCSS implications with teachers, other parents, and school leaders • Get involved
