Indiana’s Common Core Math is Here…now what?K-5 September 29, 2012 Marian University
Presenter Jane Cooney • Mathematics Coach with Greenfield-Central Schools • Elementary Math Specialist at IDOE • 20+ years of elementary classroom teaching • Presidential Awardee for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching • NCTM and ICTM presenter Contact info- jcooney@gcsc.k12.in.us
Agenda • What’s changed with the INCC standards? • What do these changes mean for classroom instruction? • How to get started?
What INCC are not… The CCSSM document makes this point: “These Standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods”(CCSSI 2010, p. 5), and, as the introduction to CCSSM goes on to say, the order of the Standards neither implies a teaching sequence nor sets out the connections among ideas in different topics.
What’s changed? The Mathematics Standards: Key Changes and Their Evidence Bill McCallum from the standards You Tube Videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNP5MdDDFPY&feature=BFa&list=UUF0pa3nE3aZAfBMT8pqM5PA
Teachers Thoughts • “After reading sample CCSSM topics for their grade, ~80% say CCSSM is “pretty much the same” as their former standards” • “If CCSSM places a topic they currently teach in a different grade only about ¼ would drop it” Dr. William Schmidt Michigan State University

Progression Documents Draft K–6 Progression on Geometry Draft K–5 Progression on Measurement and Data (measurement part) Draft K–5 progression on Measurement and Data (data part) Draft K–5 Progression on Number and Operations in Base Ten Draft K–5 Progression on Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking Draft 3–5 progression on Number and Operations—Fractions
Progression Documents Practical, readable text
Progression Documents Provide practical information about ways to teach specific content
Rigor Skills, Understanding, and Application • Students will need to know procedures fluently, develop a deep conceptual understanding, and be able to apply their knowledge to solve problems.

Standards for Mathematical Practice Similarities between process standards and practice- Focus on what it means to do mathematics
Standards for Mathematical Practice SMP The SMP are the goals for mathematics studies. The SMP are the meansof mathematics studies. So we need to ensure that students have ample opportunities to practice these standards.
Opportunities to practice SMP • Inside Mathematics http://www.insidemathematics.org/ • Illustrative Mathematics http://illustrativemathematics.org/standards/k8
Standards for Mathematical Practice • “As we work out nodes of instruction for the Standards of Practice, some may require more extensive and explicit attention than others.” Susan Jo Russell in Teaching Children Mathematics August 2012 SMP as do the content standards need targeted, intentional teaching
How to Get Started • Read the standards carefully and with a colleague • Talk about what is encompassed in the standard • Write in your own words the learning goal and • How you will know it is achieved
Indiana and the Common Core Standards Dr. William Schmidt Michigan State University
INCC Standard Activity “Absent a learning target, students will believe that the goal is to complete the activity.” Jan Chappuis – Educational Leadership September 2012 RISE Competency 2.1 Develop student understanding and mastery of learning objectives
INCC Standards Activity • Choose a standard perhaps at your grade level • Rewrite it as if you were putting it on the board so the students would understand the learning target for a lesson
