domains including specially noted
STEM standards - denoted by (+)

Presentation of
Standards
Grade K-8, high school standards
presented in traditional and integrated
pathways.
Organization
Grade-level standards are broken into
core content areas, additional key
content, and mathematical processes.
Grade-level standards are broken into
clusters of learning under several
domains and all have Standards for
Mathematical Practice.
Examples
Standards are accompanied by
explanatory comments and examples.
Standards have occasional examples in
italics.

Two models that organize the CCSSM into coherent, rigorous
courses
NOT required. The two sequences are examples, not
mandates
Pathway A: Consists of two algebra courses and a
geometry course, with some data, probability and
statistics infused throughout each (traditional)
Pathway B: Typically seen internationally that consists
of a sequence of 3 courses each of which treats aspects
of algebra, geometry and data, probability, and statistics.
Accelerated pathways for both

Mathematical Practices
Explanations and Examples
HS.MP.4. Model with
mathematics.
Include word problems where quantities are given in different units, which must be
converted to make sense of the problem. For example, a problem might have an
object moving12 feet per second and another at 5 miles per hour. To compare speeds,
students convert 12 feet per second to miles per hour:
Students are expected to:
HS.N-Q.1. Use units as a
way to understand problems
and to guide the solution of
multi-step problems; choose
and interpret units
consistently in formulas;
choose and interpret the
scale and the origin in
graphs and data displays.

HS.MP.5. Use appropriate
tools strategically.
The margin of error and tolerance limit varies according to the measure, tool used,
and context.
HS.MP.6. Attend to precision.
Example:

Determining price of gas by estimating to the nearest cent is appropriate
because you will not pay in fractions of a cent but the cost of gas is . $ 3 . 479

You should become familiar with the CCSS-M
and the transition documents and reflect on
how closely your current work aligns
What do you keep?
What do you drop?
What needs additional depth?
CTE Conference

SUGGESTIONS FOR MOVING
FORWARD….

Become conversant with the
“Mathematical Practices” and reflect on
where they are present in your current
work and where they could be added.
CTE Conference
November 3-4, 2011



Divide into 4 groups of 6 teachers – each group
needs elementary, middle school and high school
teachers
In your group, discuss how you currently use the 2
Mathematical Practices these in your classroom.
Feel free to also share how you might use them in
the future.
Make one poster for each of your two
Mathematical Practices. Be sure to include
examples from all levels (elementary, middle
school and high school).
