“The primary aim of education
is not to enable students to do
well in school, but to help them
do well in the lives they lead
outside of school.”
Source: International Center for Leadership in Education
“In the long-term, education must aim for
active use of knowledge and skill.
Students gain knowledge and skills in
schools so they can put them to work in
professional roles—scientist, engineer,
designer, doctor, business person, writer,
artist, musician—and in lay roles—
citizen, voter, parent—that require
appreciation, understanding, and
judgment.”

I know California has adopted the CCS in Math and
ELA, and I have looked at them.
I’ve studied the similarities and differences, and
have begun to develop lessons which incorporate
them.

Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development
What We Know to Be True…
Students of the 21st Century require that we teach
them new literacy skills: “how to read purposefully,
select materials that are of interest, learn from those
materials, figure out the meanings of unfamiliar words,
integrate new information with information previously
known, resolve conflicting content in different texts,
differentiate fact from opinion, and recognize the
perspective of the writer – in short, they must be
taught how to comprehend.”

Modified food against the arguments for and against Genetically
Modified food. Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis,
conclusions of each side, and including determining the extent to
which each side in the debate relied on the available science,
argues from an economical perspective, or appeals to the political
and emotional concerns. Verify the data and either support or
challenge the conclusions with other sources of information.

Vocabulary Acquisition



Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners
about grade 2 topics and texts with peers and adults in small
and larger groups. (2.SL.1)
Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform
about or explain the topic. (7.W.2.d)
Determine the meaning of word and phrase as they are used in
the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze
the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and
tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place;
how it sets a formal or informal tone.)
(9-10.RL.4)
Critical Analysis and Use of
Evidence



Distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or
those of the characters. (3.RL.6)
Summarize the points a speaker or a media source makes and
explain how each claim is supported by reasons and evidence,
and identify and analyze any logical fallacies. (5.SL.3)
Develop claim(s) and counterclaim(s) fairly and thoroughly,
supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing
out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that
anticipates the audience’s knowledge level, concerns, values,
and possible biases. (11-12.W.1b)

Craft and Structure
4. Determine the meaning of words and
phrases as they are used in a text, including
figurative, connotative, and technical
meanings; analyze the impact of a specific
word choice on meaning and tone.
Based on the 7th grade standard we
identified, what might a performance
task look like to assess proficiency?
Performance Task

Students determine the figurative and
connotative meanings of words such as
wayfaring, laconic, and taciturnity as well as
of phrases such as hold his peace in John
Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley: In Search
of America. They analyze how Steinbeck’s
specific word choices and diction impact the
meaning and tone of his writing and the
characterization of the individuals and places
he describes. [RI.7.4]

Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and
subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to
represent the problem. (K.OA.2)
Add and subtract within 100, using concrete models or
drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of
operations, and /or the relationship between addition and
subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand
that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or
subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and
ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose
tens or hundreds. (2NBT.7)
HS Pathways
1.) Traditional (US) – 2 Algebra, Geometry and
Data, probability and statistics included in each
course
2.) International (integrated) three courses
including number , algebra, geometry,
probability and statistics each year
3.) Compacted version of traditional – grade
7/8 and algebra completed by end of 8th grade
4.) Compacted integrated model, allowing
students to reach Calculus or other college level
courses
Key Advances
Focus and coherence
 Focus on key topics at each grade level.
 Coherent progressions across grade levels.
Balance of concepts and skills
 Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.
Mathematical practices
 Foster reasoning and sense-making in
mathematics.
College and career readiness
 Level is ambitious but achievable.
Emphasis on Mastery


Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using
strategies such as the relationship between
multiplication and division (e.g. knowing that
8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40÷5 = 8 or properties of
operations. By the end of grade 3, know from
memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
(3.OA.7)
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the
standard algorithm. (5.NBT.5)
A focus on fractions


Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining
the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into b
equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the
endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the
number line. (3.NF.2.a)
Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of
fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike
denominators, e.g. by using visual fraction models or equations
to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and
number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the
reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an
incorrect result 2/5+1/2= 3/7 by observing that 3/7<1/2 (5.NF.2)
High School Mathematics

The high school standards are listed in conceptual categories:
– Number and Quantity
– Algebra
– Functions
– Modeling(*)
– Geometry
– Statistics and Probability
Modeling standards are indicated by a (*) symbol.
Standards necessary to prepare for advanced courses in
mathematics are indicated by a (+) symbol.
High School Mathematics

a)
b)
c)
Build a function that models a relationship between two
quantities. *
Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps
for calculation from a context.
Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations.
For example, build a function that models the temperature of a
cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying
exponential, and relate these functions to the model.
(+) Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the
temperature in the atmosphere as a function of height, and h(t)
is the height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then
T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of the weather balloon
as a function of time.
