7. Shifts in Mathematics 7 Shift 1Focus Teachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards. Shift 2Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Shift 3Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, and core functions. Shift 4 Deep Understanding Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learn the math. Shift 5Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so. Shift 6Dual IntensityStudents are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity.

8. Mathematics Fluency Fast and Accurate Grade Required Fluency KAdd/subtract within 5 1Add/subtract within 10 2Add/subtract within 20 Add/subtract within 100 (pencil and paper) 3Multiply/divide within 100 Add/subtract within 1000 4Add/subtract within 1,000,000 5Multi-digit multiplication 6Multi-digit division Multi-digit decimal operations 7Solve px + q = r, p(x + q) = r 8Solve simple 2x2 systems by inspection

9. Standards of Mathematical Practice Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them Reason abstractly and quantitatively Construct a viable argument and critique the reasoning of others Model with Mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for and make use of structure Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
