4. KEY INSTRUCTIONAL SHIFTS IN MATHEMATICS The Common Core State Standards emphasize coherence at each grade level – making connections across content and between content and mathematical practices in order to promote deeper learning. 4 SOURCE:

5. KEY INSTRUCTIONAL SHIFTS IN MATHEMATICS The standards focus on key topics at each grade level to allow educators and students to go deeper into the content. 5 SOURCE:

6. KEY INSTRUCTIONAL SHIFTS IN MATHEMATICS The standards also emphasize progressions across grades, with the end of progression calling for fluency – or the ability to perform calculations or solving problems quickly and accurate. 6 SOURCE:

7. KEY INSTRUCTIONAL SHIFTS IN MATHEMATICS The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe mathematical “habits of mind” or mathematical applications and aim to foster reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement among students. 7 SOURCE:

9. 8 STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the understanding of others 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically 6. Attend to precision 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

10. The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals
