1. The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice Math Consortium Forsyth Georgia February 24, 2011 The Georgia Department of Education Achieving the K-12 Common Core State Standards in Mathematics

2. Common Core for Mathematics
Grade-Level Standards
K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain
9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Describe mathematical “habits of mind”
Provide standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement
Connect with content standards in each grade

3. The K-8 Mathematics Standards
The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals.
The 6-8 standards describe robust learning in geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics.
Modeled after the focus of standards from high-performing nations, the standards for grades 7 and 8 include significant algebra and geometry content.
Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills will be prepared for algebra in 8th grade.

4. The High School Mathematics Standards
Call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges;
Require students to develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly are called to do;
Emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them better, and improve decisions;
Identify the mathematics that all students should study in order to be college and career ready.

5. Model Course Pathways for Mathematics
Courses in higher level mathematics: Precalculus, Calculus (upon completion of Precalculus), Advanced Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning, or other courses to be designed at a later date, such as additional career technical courses.
Algebra II
Mathematics III
Geometry
Mathematics II
Algebra I
Mathematics I
Pathway B
Integrated approach
Pathway A
Traditional in U.S.

6. What about the alignment of CCSS with GPS?

7. How does CCSS compare to GPS ?
Example Common Core G-CO 8: Understand congruence in terms of rigid motion. Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions. GPS MM1G3c: Students will discover, prove, and apply properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons. Understand, use , and prove theorems for triangles (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL)

8. How does CCSS compare to GPS ?Conti.
Common Core F-BF4b: Find inverse functions. Verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another.
GPS M2A5d:
Students will explore inverses of functions. Use composition to verify that functions are inverses of each other.

13. Food for Thought Standards: Important but insufficient
To be effective in improving education and getting all students ready for college, workforce training, and life, the Standards must be partnered with a content-rich curriculum and robust assessments, both aligned to the Standards
