COMMON CORE MATH OVERVIEW
CCSS-M for Mathematical Practice (The How To) • 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively • 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • 4. Model with Mathematics • 5. Use appropriate tools strategically • 6. Attend to precision • 7. Look for and make use of structure • 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning All CPS schools will implement the mathematical practices in 2012-2013.
Instructional Shifts in Mathematics • FOCUS on critical areas to develop deep conceptual understanding and procedural fluency • INTEGRATE the mathematical practice standards throughout instruction • MAINTAIN COHERENCE and continuity to link learning within and across grades
Math Focus • Focus on key topics at each grade level. • Coherent progressions across grade levels. • Balance of concepts and skills • Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics. • College and career readiness
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) • Spearheads change to the Common CORE PARCC Goals • Create high quality assessments • Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students • Develop 21st century, technology-based assessments • Advance accountability at all levels
New Assessment Design • No ISAT or PSAE after 2013-2014. • May be pilot items in ISAT in 2012-2014. • NCLB has not been reauthorized nor made any adjustments for the Common CORE Standards. Many states are refusing to continue with NCLB. • A waiver is available to states who meet the criteria to be released. Some states have opted out.
Graphic Depiction of the AssessmentSystem The PARCC assessment system will: • Better reflect the sophisticatedknowledge and skills found in the English and math Common Core State Standards • Include a mix of item types (e.g., short answer, richer multiple choice, longer open response, performance-based) • Make significant use of technology • Include testing at key points throughout the year to give teachers, parents and students better information about whether students are on track or need additional support in particular areas
Standards • Beginning with 2012-13 all lesson planning will focus on the CCSS for math • Explicitly teach 8 mathematical practices • Unit plans will be designed for quarters 2,3 & 4.
Unit Planning • Standards • Identify what students need to know and do • Performance Task assessment and scoring tool • Unit activities • Resources
Design and Organization Content standards define what students should understand and be able to do Clusters are groups of related standards Domainsare larger groups that progress across grades
Assessments • Use all classroom assessments just as you have used in the past • MARS – Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (unit assessment used in the classroom) • NWEA – Northwest Evaluation Association (District-wide assessment) replaces Scantron testing • PARCC – The Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers replaces ISAT
Mathematical Content Quizzes – tests – homework – class participation – and whatever else you used to use…….. You still use. However MARS, NWEA, and PARCC are now the new norm to include in your bag of goodies
Common Core • Content Standards • Major Ideas • Target • Differences at each grade level
Major Ideas of the Common Core for Math • Fewer, higher, and more focused • Benchmarked internationally • Both content and skills are equally important • Much more specific than the old Illinois standards • Emphasis on numbers, early on, learning trajectories developed through the grades • Highly visual and connected with multiple representations of functions: graphs/verbal/symbolic/numeric
Target of the Math standards is college and career readiness for all students • Focus in early grades on number and numeration and the relationship to operations to build a solid foundation in math • Develop geometric concepts • Mathematical practices across learning K-12
Target of the Math standards is college and career readiness for all students • Establish key concepts leading to basic algebraic readiness by eighth grade • High school math focus on using math and solving messy problems, similar to what students would see in the real world • Problem-solving and communication emphasized
What is different K-2? • Calendar • Patterns • Capacity • Mass/Weight • Temperature • Symmetry • Perimeter • Probability • Less focus on fractions (only with shapes)
What is different for grades 3-5? • Probability • Transformations • 3rd grade does not deal with symmetry, temperature, volume, or x with 2-digit numbers. • 4th grade does not deal with decimal operations or formal algebraic equations/expressions, temperature, time, congruence, similarity, or solid geometric figures. • 5th grade does not deal with ÷ of mixed numbers, angle measurement, congruence, similarity, or surface area.
Fractions, Grades3–6 • Grade 3: Develop an understanding of fractions as numbers. • Grade 4: Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering. • Grade 4: Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers. • Grade 4: Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
Fractions, Grades3–6 • Grade 5: Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions. • Grade 5: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions. • Grade 6: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.
What is different in 6-8? • Less focus on operations with whole numbers and decimals and more focus on problem solving and reasoning • Application of fraction understanding to solve problems. • Functions, expressions, graphing, ALGEBRA Ready by 8th grade • Statistics and probability
Statistics and Probability, Grade 6 • Develop understanding of statistical variability • Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. • Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape. • Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
Algebra, Grade 8 • Graded ramp up to Algebra in Grade 8 • Properties of operations, similarity, ratio and proportional relationships, rational number system. • Focus on linear equations and functions in Grade 8 • Expressions and Equations • Work with radicals and integer exponents. • Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. • Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. • Functions • Define, evaluate, and compare functions. • Use functions to model relationships between quantities.
Where do we go from here? • Each grade level reviewing the current Common Core Standards • Form a Committee to develop a plan of attack • Follow District and Network guidelines • Questions
