2. Common Core Math Standards
Math Content
Washington State is one of 45 states who have adopted the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics to replace our prior WA state standards.
The Common Core content standards for math delineate what students need to know and be able to do in math at each grade level, from kindergarten through high school.
This slide shows the “domains” in middle school math which represent the major work of each grade and the Standards for Mathematical Practice which are habits of mind we want students to develop as mathematicians.
The standards are more focused, coherent, and rigorous than prior state standards. Rigor in the Common Core refers to a balance of procedural skill and fluency, conceptual understanding, and application to real-world problem solving.
Focus  Coherence  Rigor

3. Common Core Math Standards
Math Practices
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments 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.

Welcome!
Our goal today is to give you an overview of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and our new middle school math options that will begin next year.

10. Middle School Common Core Math Courses
Families can self-select the most appropriate math pacing for their child.
All students will have the opportunity to study linear functions in middle school. Much of the content central to typical Algebra 1 courses—namely linear equations, inequalities, and functions—is found in CC 8.
NOTE:
Three years of math in high school (in grades 9-12) are required for graduation.
Smarter Balanced Assessments will be given in grades 6, 7, 8, and 11. Meeting standard on the 11th grade Smarter Balanced test will be a graduation requirement.

11. Middle School Common Core Math Courses
In your registration materials, you will receive a letter with all of the details we’re explaining tonight.
There is also a Math Placement Selection Form which must be completed and returned to your child’s fifth grade teacher.
Most students will select CC 6 as they begin middle school. The next decision will be at the end of 6th grade, when you’ll choose which pacing best suits your child. At that point you’ll have the benefit of a year of middle school math under your belt and your child’s middle school math teacher can provide some input as well.

12. Math Placement Selection Form
Some students can demonstrate sufficient mastery of CC 6 skills and concepts to skip this course and begin middle school in CC 7/8. Let’s talk a bit about that option.

13. Is my child ready for CC 7/8?
The only decision to be made in the spring of 5th grade is considering whether your child can demonstrate sufficient mastery of new 6th grade Common Core math to indicate readiness to skip CC 6 and begin middle school in CC 7/8.
Selecting this option means that your child will both SKIP 6th grade math and choose COMPACTED PACING through middle school.

16. Special Consideration
If your student is considering enrolling in Science Path 2:
Please note that it is recommended that students enrolled in Chemistry should have successfully completed Algebra 1 prior to taking Chemistry.
There is a non-algebraic science class students can take as a Freshman, so that their math skills meet the needs of Chemistry in their sophomore year
It is important to consider the best sequential math plan. (CC6, CC7/8, CC8/Algebra 1)
