Future Resources
•Summer Training Materials available on www.TNCore.org by July 1
–You can find the Summer Training Materials by following these
steps at the www.TNCore.org website:
• Scroll to the Math drop down menu on the homepage
• Scroll to Training
• Click on Materials
• Future Rollout of Resources
–Task arcs and training models will be released in July.

Task Arcs
• A task arc is a set of related lessons consisting of eight rigorous
tasks and eight lesson guides .
• For every set of related lessons, essential mathematical
understandings are identified.
• As the lessons progress throughout the set, students are offered
multiple opportunities to develop conceptual understanding of
important mathematical concepts and engaging in the
mathematical practices, while also increasing the complexity of
thinking required by students.
•Task arcs will be based on the 2013-14 focus standards.
9
Where to Locate Task Arcs
• Task arcs will be available
in the Math Curricular
Resources section for each
listed grade band.
• Remember to sign up for
www.TNCore.org updates
in order to be notified
when the latest materials
are available.

Core Beliefs
Earning a living wage has never
demanded more skills. This
generation must learn more than
their parents’ to do as well.
All children are capable of
learning and thinking at a high
level. Children in Tennessee are as
talented as any in the country and
often capable of more than we
expect.
Our current education results
pose a real threat to state and
national competitiveness and
security. Improving the skills of
our children is vital for the future
of Tennessee and America.
Tennessee is on a mission to
become the fastest improving
state in the nation. Doing so will
require hard work and significant
learning for all. We must learn to
teach in ways we were not taught
ourselves.
There is no recipe that will deliver
a successful transition. Preparing
for Common Core will demand
effective leadership focused on
student growth.
PARCC is coming in two years. We
need to use the transition wisely
to make sure our students and
our state are ready.
