Common Core State Standards Implications for Mathematics
Overview Greater Focus and Coherence Move away from “mile wide and an inch deep” Aim for clarity and specificity The K-12 standards stress conceptual knowledge and understanding in addition to procedural skills Students who master the K-5 standards will have a strong foundation in whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
K‐5 Domains Counting and Cardinality (K only) Operations and Algebraic Thinking (Grades 1‐5) Number and Operations in Base Ten (Grades 1‐5) Number and Operations‐‐Fractions (Grades 3‐5) Measurement and Data (Grades 1‐5) Geometry (Grades 1‐5)
Major Shifts K‐5 Numeration and operation intensified, and introduced earlier Early place value foundations in grade K Regrouping as composing / decomposing in grade 2 Decimals to hundredths in grade 4 All three types of measurement simultaneously (Non‐standard, English and Metric) Emphasis on fractions as numbers Emphasis on number line as visualization /structure
Implications for MEAP/MME 2010-2011 Getting to know the Standards 2011-2012 Implementation in classrooms 2012-2013 MEAP minimally modified/MME stays the same 2013-2014 MEAP/MME same as 2012/13 State will be preparing for new assessments 2014-2015 Full Implementation New assessments (not MEAP) from SMARTER Consortium
Chippewa’s Next Steps Implementation projected for fall 2011 Staff meetings to discuss CCSS Professional development Release time for teachers to realign courses & assessments
