Statistics from National Research Council & the National AcademiesRising Above the Gathering Storm

• In 2009, 51% of United States patents were awarded to US companies.

• The United States ranks 27th among developed nations in proportion of college students receiving undergraduate degrees in math, science, or engineering.

• Only 15% of US graduate level math and science jobs are filled by United States graduates.

• On the PISA exam for mathematical proficiency of 15 year-olds, the United States ranked 31st out of 65 countries tested, and when looking just at mathematics literacy among the top students, the US ranked 28th.

Curriculum

RESEARCH DATA STANDARDS

Grade-Level Standards K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by

domain and content 9-12 high school standards organized by

conceptual categories

Standards for Mathematical Practice Describe mathematical “habits of mind” Standards for mathematical proficiency:

reasoning, problem-solving, modeling, decision-making, and engagement

Connect with content standards in each grade

Overview of the K-12 CCSS Math

Standards

Elementary

Curriculum

• Focus on numeracy in the early grades

Math Standards:Key PointsElementary

Curriculum

Mastery means multiple representations of understanding and ability to apply it to a novel situation

Emphasis on solving real-world problems

Move away from a mile-wide, inch deep curriculum to more depth and focus on topics.

Expand (x – 2)( x – 3)

3rd GRADE MATH:Amber didn’t know what 7 X 5

equals, but she knew 5 X 5 = 25 and 2 X 5 = 10. Use drawings,

words, and/or equations to explain why Amber can add 25

and 10 to find what 7 X 5 equals.

6th GRADE MATH:What is the value of 3x + y + 3 – 3(x + y)

when x = 18.22 and y = -1?Find a value for k and a value for n so that (x – 2)(x – 3) =

x2 + kx + n.

What Can Parents Do?What Can Parents Do?

• Avoid conveying negative attitudes toward math.

• Ask your child what he/she did in math class today? Ask for details and explanation.

• Give your child meaningful problems that use numbers and shapes while you are going about everyday life. Ask you child to explain.

• Expect your child’s homework to include more than simple computation worksheets.

What Can Parents Do?What Can Parents Do?

• Expect some confusions as part of the learning process but emphasize that effort, not ability, is what matters. Math is understandable and can be figured out.

• Have high expectations.

• Be an advocate for math proficiency in our schools.

• Support professional development for teachers and administrators.
