FOCUS The power of the eraser. Students are encouraged to look at a mistake as being an opportunity to learn. Teachers are encouraged to focus more intently on only the concepts that are discussed in the curriculum. This is so students can reach a strong foundational knowledge and deep conceptual knowledge.
forgot to add 0 as a place holder
didn't add the amount that was regrouped to the tens place
We would use this as an opportunity for students to look at the problem and FIND the mistake. This allows students to become critical thinkers. Is this correct? Why or Why not?

COHERENCE
The building of a solid foundation. Students will continue to build upon those skills and concepts learned in previous years. They will concentrate on engaging in a deeper understanding of core concepts.
3rd grade
4th grade
5th grade
Extend understanding of fractions of equivalence and ordering.Understand decimal notation for fractions ,and compare decimal fractions
Develop understanding of fractions as numbers.
Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions. Apply and extend previous understanding of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions

DEEP UNDERSTANDING
Teachers teach more than "simple steps to solve". Students will gain a greater understanding of the how and why of a concept.

Sample questions
Is the product of 3 greater than or less than 3 Explain without multiplying.
5 x 2 8 3
5 8 .
In the past students would be asked to just multiply 3 5/8 x 2/3 and find the product. Now, students are required to THINK about the meaning of the concept and be able to explain their answer.

What does fluent mean?
Fluent in the Standards means "fast and accurate." It might also help to think of fluency as meaning the same thing as when we say that someone is fluent in a foreign language; when you're fluent, you flow. Fluent isn't halting, stumbling, or reversing oneself. Assessing fluency requires attending to issues of time.

What does it mean to be college and career ready? And how is this "readiness" the driving force behind the new common core state standards (CCSS), shifts in education, and the way our students are learning in their classrooms?

COLLEGE READINESS DEFINED
Being ready for college means that a student has the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for and succeed in
entrylevel, creditbearing college courses without the need for remedial coursework

FACTS ABOUT COLLEGE READINESS
In 2008, about 65% of SUNY Orange's freshman were required to take at least 1 remediation class, up 5% from the year before.
College remediation cost society $3.7 billion in 2006, according to the Alliance for Excellent Education. And much of that burden falls on taxpayers — for almost
a billion dollars to supplement college developmental courses.
For students, the expense is both time and money.

CAREER READINESS DEFINED
In today's economy, a "career" is not just a job. A career provides a familysustaining wage and pathways to advancement and
requires postsecondary training or education. A job may be obtained with only a high school diploma, but offers little or no advancement or mobility. Being ready for a career means that a high school graduate has the knowledge and skills needed to qualify for and succeed in the postseconadary job training and/or education necessary for their chosen career (i.e. college, technical/vocational program, apprenticeship
or significant onthejob training).

FACTS ABOUT CAREER READINESS
written & oral communication skills as well as a foundation in math, particularly
statistics & analysis, are required in many growing middle class jobs and careers
in the next decade, 80% of the fastest growing jobs will require some postsecondary education
and/or training beyond HS (associate or bachelor's degree, vocational certification, licensure, completion of an apprenticeship, significant onthejob training, or other
credentials)
in the next decade, only 22% of job openings will be "low skilled" and accessible to those with a
HS diploma or less
traditional "blue collar" jobs (i.e. electricians, construction workers, plumbers) now require the same math skills necessary to do well in
college courses

What is "career readiness"?
foundational knowledge, especially in ELA & math,and the ability to apply academics in context (i.e.
written communications such as memos, letters, and
complex technical reports; math skills such as data analysis and statistics, reasoning, and problem
solving)
critical thinking,adaptability,
problem solving,oral & written communications,collaboration &teamwork,creativity,
responsibility,professionalism,
ethics,& technology use
