Washington’s Vision for Education
Every Washington public school student
will graduate from high school globally
competitive for work and
postsecondary education and
prepared for life in the 21st century.

Guiding Questions
 Who
are your audiences for
communications (parents, teachers,
public - Communication In and
Communication Out )?
 What
are the top 2 or 3 main messages or
actions needed for each audience and
their timing?

3 Shifts for Mathematics
Resources
CCSS Communications Summit - 4-21-2014
Myth: Common Core is a Curriculum
 The
CCSS outline the math students need to
understand at each grade level or course.
 Washington State is a local control state which
means curriculum decisions reside within the school
district.
 Some curriculum will say “Common Core”. This is to
identify that the curriculum is covering the math
outlined in the CCSS—can be confusing.
6
Myth: Common Core is a
Pedagogy

Direct Instruction, Constructivism, New Math,
etc.– these are ways of approaching
teaching math. The CCSS is not about how
teachers should teach—

Good teaching practice is to reflect on your
instruction (what ever approach that is) and
make adjustments as needed to ensure
students are able to make sense and
understand the math.

Will the Problems Students
Experience Look Different?
From a parent, via Facebook:
I'm curious about your take on the new common core
math. My daughter is in 2nd grade and I can totally see
a shift in the ways that the problems are being asked on
her worksheets…

Because You Can’t Memorize
Understanding
 Our
focus has been on answer getting.
 Rather
than the student’s thinking in
getting to that answer.
 Has
lead to student (and adult) feelings
that “I am not good at math”
 We
must value how each individual
student makes sense of the math

Find the answer to this problem.

Consider a different way to solve the problem.

answer.

How do we respond?
 What
is the root of this parent’s frustration?
 What
are other reasons parents might be
frustrated with the math?
 Turn
to your neighbor and discuss these
questions and share how you might
respond to this parent.

The 3 Shifts
CCSS Communications Summit - 4-21-2014
19
The Three Shifts in Mathematics
 Focus:
Strongly where
the standards focus
 Coherence: Think across
grades and link to major
topics within grades
 Rigor: In major topics,
pursue with equal
intensity:
 Conceptual
understanding
 Procedural skill and
fluency
 Application
CCSS Communications Summit - 4-21-2014
20
Shift One: Focus
Strongly Where the Standards Focus
Move away from "mile wide, inch deep" curricula.
Significantly narrow the scope of content to focus on
key concepts and skills at each grade level or in math
courses.
Teach less, learn more in building understanding.
Less topic coverage can be associated with higher scores on those topics
covered because students have more time to master the content that is taught.”

Attaining Focus in early grades
K-2 is a deep focus on number, place value, and
operation (addition and subtraction) - concepts, skills
and problem solving
3-5 builds on these foundational concepts and focuses
on multiplication and division of whole numbers and
fractions - concepts, skills and problems solving
There is very little data work in K-5, and what’s there is
tightly connected with core progressions in number
systems, the number line, and problem solving using the
four operations
Concentration on arithmetic and the aspects of measurement
that support it

25
Shift Two: Coherence
Think across grades, and link to major
topics within grades
 Carefully
connect the learning within and across
grades so that students can build new
understanding onto foundations built in previous
years.
 Begin
to count on solid conceptual understanding
of core content and build on it. Each standard is
not a new event, but an extension of previous
learning.
CCSS Communications Summit - 4-21-2014
26
Coherence
“The Standards are not so much
built from topics as they are woven
out of progressions.”
Structure is the Standards, Publishers’ Criteria for Mathematics, Appendix

Grade 3
Grade 4
Grade 5
Develop understanding of fraction as
number.
Build fractions from unit fractions by
applying and extending previous
understandings of fractions.
Apply and extend previous
understandings of multiplication and
division to multiply and divide fractions.

 The

Solid conceptual understanding

Application of mathematics to problem solving

intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit
of all three.

Conceptual Understanding is
more than explaining
What are two
different
equations with
the same solution
as 3(y – 1) = 8?
Asking students to show work
and explain can be
informative, but it isn’t the
only way to assess conceptual
understanding and can
become tiring for students.

Procedural Fluency is not all
about Timed Tests

each box:
A) 𝟑 + 𝟒 = □

D) 9 - □ = 5

build awareness and support for CCSS,
prepare for initial decline in test scores in
transition to more rigorous assessments
and counter misinformation/myths.
