1. Common Core State Standards
Implications for Mathematics

2. 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)

3. 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)

4. 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

5. Implications for MEAP/MME
Getting to know the Standards
Implementation in classrooms
MEAP minimally modified/MME stays the same
MEAP/MME same as 2012/13
State will be preparing for new assessments
Full Implementation
New assessments (not MEAP) from SMARTER Consortium

6. Chippewa’s Next Steps Implementation projected for fall 2011
Staff meetings to discuss CCSS
Professional development
Release time for teachers to realign courses & assessments
