CCLS CONTENT AND MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES: AREAS OF FOCUS 6 GRADE BAND DOMAIN OF FOCUS PreK-KOperations and Algebraic Thinking 1-2Number and Operations in Base Ten 3Operations and Algebraic Thinking 4-5Number and Operations—Fractions 6-7 Ratios and Proportional Relationships 8Expressions and Equations PLUS… Targeted Standards of Mathematical Practice: MP. 3 Construct Viable Arguments and Critique the Reasoning of Others and/or MP. 4 Model with Mathematics

7. Common Core Shifts in Math ShiftTopic Shift 1Focus – focus on the math that matters most Shift 2 Coherence – What you learned in each grade, builds on what you learned the grade before. Shift 3 Fluency – Insist on developing fluencies, ex. Simple addition and subtraction, multiplication tables Shift 4 Deep Understanding – By truly understanding the core math, they can apply concepts to something they haven’t seen before. Shift 5 Application - Ability to apply math in different situations even when you are not prompted to do so. Shift 6 Dual Intensity- Fluency and Application of understanding. Practices vs. a few rich problems.
