Common Core Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics wwwcorestandardsorg
Standard- A statement that indicates what students are expected to know or be able to do Example Grade 4 Reading for Information
Explain events procedures ideas or concepts in a historical scientific or technical text including what happened and why based on specific information in the text
Curriculum- The set of expectations by grade level and content area It defines the work of the classroom
(A district might name specific texts for students to read or show the types of questions they expect students to be able to answer)
Textbook- A program used by a district to support the teaching of the curriculum
Achievement- Learning that is measured Instructional Alignment- Learning opportunities
designed to ensure student mastery of standards and curriculum expectations
Consistent clear understanding of what students are expected to learn
Robust and relevant to the real world Knowledge and skills that our young
people need for success in college and careers
Positioning to compete successfully in the global economy
Not to need remediation in college Build on the best work of states Evidence matters as to what is needed

The US curriculum is lsquoa mile wide and an inch deeprsquo
East Asian countries excel in math while concentrating their focus on few areas each year
Traditionally strands of mathematics run from K-12 even if we have to invent items to go in each strand
In Common Core mathematics instruction is not just a checklist of topics to cover but a set of interrelated and powerful ideas
Operations and Algebraic Thinking Grade 3 (Example of CCSS Organization)
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
1Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe text in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 72Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =

Solid foundation in whole numbers addition subtraction multiplication division fractions and decimalsmdashwhich help young students build the foundation to successfully apply more demanding math concepts and procedures and move into applications
In kindergarten the standards follow successful international models and recommendations from the National Research Councilrsquos Early Math Panel report by focusing kindergarten work on the number core learning how numbers correspond to quantities and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction)
The K-5 standards build on the best state standards to provide detailed guidance to teachers on how to navigate their way through knotty topics such as fractions negative numbers and geometry and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade
The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test but forget it shortly thereafter only to review again the following year
Having built a strong foundation K-5 students can do hands on learning in geometry algebra and probability and statistics Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8
The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics
Practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges they prepare students to think and reason mathematically
Help students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations as college students and employees regularly do
Emphasize mathematical modeling Use mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations
understand them better and improve decisions
For example the draft standards state ldquoModeling links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life work and decision-making It is the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations to understand them better and to improve decisions Quantities and their relationships in physical economic public policy social and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods When making mathematical models technology is valuable for varying assumptions exploring consequences and comparing predictions with datardquo

Explain events procedures ideas or concepts in a historical scientific or technical text including what happened and why based on specific information in the text
Curriculum- The set of expectations by grade level and content area It defines the work of the classroom
(A district might name specific texts for students to read or show the types of questions they expect students to be able to answer)
Textbook- A program used by a district to support the teaching of the curriculum
Achievement- Learning that is measured Instructional Alignment- Learning opportunities
designed to ensure student mastery of standards and curriculum expectations
Consistent clear understanding of what students are expected to learn
Robust and relevant to the real world Knowledge and skills that our young
people need for success in college and careers
Positioning to compete successfully in the global economy
Not to need remediation in college Build on the best work of states Evidence matters as to what is needed
for college and careers Time for teachers to teach and for
students to learn
Aligned with college and work expectations Clear understandable and consistent Rigorous content and application of
knowledge through high-order skills Build upon strengths and lessons of current
state standards Informed by other top performing countries

3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem

Solid foundation in whole numbers addition subtraction multiplication division fractions and decimalsmdashwhich help young students build the foundation to successfully apply more demanding math concepts and procedures and move into applications
In kindergarten the standards follow successful international models and recommendations from the National Research Councilrsquos Early Math Panel report by focusing kindergarten work on the number core learning how numbers correspond to quantities and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction)
The K-5 standards build on the best state standards to provide detailed guidance to teachers on how to navigate their way through knotty topics such as fractions negative numbers and geometry and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade
The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test but forget it shortly thereafter only to review again the following year
Having built a strong foundation K-5 students can do hands on learning in geometry algebra and probability and statistics Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8
The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics
Practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges they prepare students to think and reason mathematically
Help students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations as college students and employees regularly do
Emphasize mathematical modeling Use mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations

For example the draft standards state ldquoModeling links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life work and decision-making It is the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations to understand them better and to improve decisions Quantities and their relationships in physical economic public policy social and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods When making mathematical models technology is valuable for varying assumptions exploring consequences and comparing predictions with datardquo

3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =

Solid foundation in whole numbers addition subtraction multiplication division fractions and decimalsmdashwhich help young students build the foundation to successfully apply more demanding math concepts and procedures and move into applications
In kindergarten the standards follow successful international models and recommendations from the National Research Councilrsquos Early Math Panel report by focusing kindergarten work on the number core learning how numbers correspond to quantities and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction)
The K-5 standards build on the best state standards to provide detailed guidance to teachers on how to navigate their way through knotty topics such as fractions negative numbers and geometry and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade
The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test but forget it shortly thereafter only to review again the following year
Having built a strong foundation K-5 students can do hands on learning in geometry algebra and probability and statistics Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8
The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics

Just as media and technology are integrated in school and life in the twenty-first century skills related to media use (both critical analysis and production of media) are integrated throughout the standards
The US curriculum is lsquoa mile wide and an inch deeprsquo
East Asian countries excel in math while concentrating their focus on few areas each year
Traditionally strands of mathematics run from K-12 even if we have to invent items to go in each strand
In Common Core mathematics instruction is not just a checklist of topics to cover but a set of interrelated and powerful ideas
Operations and Algebraic Thinking Grade 3 (Example of CCSS Organization)
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
1Interpret products of whole numbers eg interpret 5 times 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each For example describe text in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 times 72Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers eg interpret 56 divide 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each For example describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 divide 8
3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups arrays and measurement quantities eg by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers For example determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8times = 48 5 = 1048781 divide 3 6 times 6 =

Solid foundation in whole numbers addition subtraction multiplication division fractions and decimalsmdashwhich help young students build the foundation to successfully apply more demanding math concepts and procedures and move into applications
In kindergarten the standards follow successful international models and recommendations from the National Research Councilrsquos Early Math Panel report by focusing kindergarten work on the number core learning how numbers correspond to quantities and learning how to put numbers together and take them apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction)
The K-5 standards build on the best state standards to provide detailed guidance to teachers on how to navigate their way through knotty topics such as fractions negative numbers and geometry and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade
The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test but forget it shortly thereafter only to review again the following year
Having built a strong foundation K-5 students can do hands on learning in geometry algebra and probability and statistics Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8
The middle school standards are robust and provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics
Practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges they prepare students to think and reason mathematically
Help students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations as college students and employees regularly do
