College- and Career-Ready Standards
Higher Expectations
More Responsibility
“The new Common Core State Standards require students to demonstrate a deeper understanding of math concepts, which means teachers will have to change how they teach those concepts too.”
Math
“The new standards routinely call for students to solve problems that require a strong grasp of mathematical concepts and to explain their reasoning.”
Math
“For most of the states that have adopted the CCSS,
the cognitive demand of the expectations has
increased substantially.”

Approach to Math Instruction
Working Problems

Applying Concepts
...to real-world situations
Rigor - Math
1. Conceptual Understanding
2. Application
3. Balance - Procedural Skill and Fluency
“The CCSS expect students to deeply understand why mathematics functions as it does and how to apply mathematics to novel situations, particularly through the modeling expectations.”
Mathematics Instruction
“Real learning is not working a problem that I have
worked twenty-five times in class. Real learning is
applying what you have learned to something you
have never seen before.”
