CCSSI FOR MATHEMATICS “STANDARDS OF PRACTICE” Collegial Conversations GRADES K – 1 Today’s Goal To explore the Standards for Content and Practice for Mathematics Begin to consider how these new Standards are likely to impact your classroom practices What are the Common Core State Standards? Aligned with college and work expectations Focused and coherent Included rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards Internationally benchmarked so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society Research and evidence based State led- coordinated by NGA Center and CCSSO Focus • Key ideas, understandings, and skills are identified • Deep learning of concepts is emphasized – That is, time is spent on a topic and on learning it well. This counters the “mile wide, inch deep” criticism leveled at most current U.S. standards. Benefits for States and Districts • • • • Allows collaborative professional development based on best practices Allows development of common assessments and other tools Enables comparison of policies and achievement across states and districts Creates potential for collaborative groups to get more economical mileage for: – Curriculum development, assessment, and professional development Common Core Development • Initially 48 states and three territories signed on • As of November 29, 2010, 42 states have officially adopted • Final Standards released June 2, 2010, at www.corestandards.org • Adoption required for Race to the Top funds Michigan’s Implementation Timeline • Held October and November of 2010 rollouts • District curricula and assessments that provide a K-12 progression for meeting the MMC requirements will require minimal adjustments to meet CCSS • Curriculum and assessment alignment in SY10-11 • Implementation SY11-12 • New assessment 2014-15 (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium or SBAC – replaces MEAP and MME) Background Responsibilities of States in the Consortium Each State that is a member of the Consortium in 2014– 2015 also agrees to do the following: Adopt common achievement standards no later than the 2014–2015 school year, Fully implement the Consortium summative assessment in grades 3–8 and high school for both mathematics and English language arts no later than the 2014–2015 school year, Adhere to the governance requirements, Agree to support the decisions of the Consortium, Agree to follow agreed-upon timelines, Be willing to participate in the decision-making process and, if a Governing State, final decisions, and Identify and implement a plan to address barriers in State law, statute, regulation, or policy to implementing the proposed assessment system and address any such barriers prior to full implementation of the summative assessment components of the system. Technology Approach SBAC Item Bank • Partitioned into a secure item bank for summative assessments and a non-secure bank for the interim/benchmark assessments: • • • • Traditional selected-response items Constructed-response items Curriculum-embedded performance events Technology-enhanced items (modeled after assessments in use by the U.S. military, the architecture licensure exam, and NAEP) HOW TO READ THE GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS Domains are large groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related. Look for the name with the code number on it for a Domain. Common Core Format Clusters are groups of related standards. Standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject. • Clusters appear inside domains. Common Core Format Standards define what students should be able to understand and be able to do – part of a cluster. •They are content statements. An example content statement is: “Count to 100 by ones and by tens”, K.CC.1. The “CC” stands for “Counting and Cardinality”. Please refer to page three in your grade level appropriate Common Core document. •Progressions of increasing complexity from grade to grade Common Core - Clusters • May appear in multiple grade levels in the K-8 Common Core. There is increasing development as the grade levels progress • What students should know and be able to do at each grade level • Reflect both mathematical understandings and skills, which are equally important Common Core Format K-8 High School Grade Conceptual Category Domain Domain Cluster Cluster Standards (There are no preK Common Core Standards) Standards Format of K-8 Standards Grade Level Domain Format of K-8 Standards Standard Cluster Standard Cluster Mathematics » Kindergarten » Introduction In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing and comparing whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics. 1. Students use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities and to solve quantitative problems, such as counting objects in a set; counting out a given number of objects; comparing sets or numerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situations with sets of objects, or eventually with equations such as 5 + 2 = 7 and 7 – 2 = 5. (Kindergarten students should see addition and subtraction equations, and student writing of equations in kindergarten is encouraged, but it is not required.) Students choose, combine, and apply effective strategies for answering quantitative questions, including quickly recognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects, counting and producing sets of given sizes, counting the number of objects in combined sets, or counting the number of objects that remain in a set after some are taken away. 2. Students describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatial relations) and vocabulary. They identify, name, and describe basic two-dimensional shapes, such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons, presented in a variety of ways (e.g., with different sizes and orientations), as well as three-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. They use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their environment and to construct more complex shapes. Mathematics » Grade 1 » Introduction In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. 1. Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers. They use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations. Students understand connections between counting and addition and subtraction (e.g., adding two is the same as counting on two). They use properties of addition to add whole numbers and to create and use increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties (e.g., “making tens”) to solve addition and subtraction problems within 20. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, children build their understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction. 2. Students develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to add within 100 and subtract multiples of 10. They compare whole numbers (at least to 100) to develop understanding of and solve problems involving their relative sizes. They think of whole numbers between 10 and 100 in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 11 to 19 as composed of a ten and some ones). Through activities that build number sense, they understand the order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes. 3. Students develop an understanding of the meaning and processes of measurement, including underlying concepts such as iterating (the mental activity of building up the length of an object with equal-sized units) and the transitivity principle for indirect measurement.1 4. Students compose and decompose plane or solid figures (e.g., put two triangles together to make a quadrilateral) and build understanding of part-whole relationships as well as the properties of the original and composite shapes. As they combine shapes, they recognize them from different perspectives and orientations, describe their geometric attributes, and determine how they are alike and different, to develop the background for measurement and for initial understandings of properties such as congruence and symmetry.

CCSSM Mathematical Practices The Common Core proposes a set of Mathematical Practices that all teachers should develop in their students. These practices are similar to NCTM’s Mathematical Processes from the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Design and Organization Mathematical Practice – expertise students should acquire: (Processes & proficiencies) • NCTM five process standards: • • • • • Problem solving Reasoning and Proof Communication Connections Representations NCTM Process Standards and the CCSS Mathematical Practice Standards NCTM Process Standards CCSS Mathematical Practices Problem Solving Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Use appropriate tools strategically Reasoning and Proof Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Critique the reasoning of others. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Communication Construct viable arguments Connections Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure Representations Model with mathematics. Design and Organization • Mathematical proficiency (National Research Council’s report Adding It Up) – Adaptive reasoning – Strategic competence – Conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations, relations) – Procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately) – Productive disposition (ability to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile Mathematics/Standards for Mathematical Practice 1.

These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education.” CCSS, 2010 Standards for Mathematical Practice • Carry across all grade levels • Describe habits of a mathematically expert student Standards for Mathematical Content • • • • K-8 presented by grade level Organized into domains that progress over several grades Grade introductions give 2-4 focal points at each grade level High school standards presented by conceptual theme (Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability Standards of Mathematical Practice 1. Choose a partner at your table and “Pair Share” the Standards of Practice between you and your partner. 2. When you and your partner feel you understand generally each of the standards, discuss the following question: What implications might the standards of practice have on your classroom? Transition from Current State Standards & Assessments to New Common Core Standards • • • • • Develop Awareness Needs Assessment/Gap Analysis Planning Capacity Building Job-embedded Professional Development Transition Planning Next Steps: • Alignment of CCSS with curriculum • Gap analysis (content and skills that vary from the MEAP and MME) • What instructional practices will facilitate the transition? • What new assessment strategies will be needed? • Professional development needs? Transition Planning • Gather in teams from your schools and discuss – What are your immediate needs as a classroom teacher being asked to implement the CCSS? – What professional development is needed? – What initial gaps come to mind and how do you address these gaps? – As a school team, look at the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice. What do they look like? Sound like? What will students need in order to implement them? What will teachers need? What are the implications for assessment and grading?
