CESA 7 Approach to the Math Curriculum Organization of Standards into “Sense-

Making” Categories Meaningful chunking of learning into Inquiry

Modules Emphasis on the intent of the standards Recognition of the importance of the

standards for Mathematics Practices Emphasis on cognitively complex

mathematics tasks to achieve standards Resource neutral companion for local work

“Logical groupings of common core mathematics standards based on how they connect for instruction with elements that aid in organizing assessment and instruction from the beginning of the school year until the end. Inquiry modules are carefully sequenced vertically from grade to grade to ensure learning progressions.”

-Companion Glossary

Inquiry Modules

8

A description of: the focus of the mathematics for the module. the concepts, strategies and applications that reside

in the module. the depth of the mathematics in the module. what students should know and be able to do.

Sense Making Categories

17

Sense Making Categories Sense-Making Concepts The standards that are grouped in this category are foundational standards important in the conceptual development of major mathematical ideas.

Sense-Making StrategiesThe standards that are grouped in this category are mathematical strategies that should be used after investigation and development of concepts has occurred.

Sense-Making Applications & ModelingThe standards that are grouped in this category are usually mastered after the mathematical idea has been conceptually developed. Students need to recall, model, and apply their mathematical background knowledge in order to connect mathematical ideas. Application and modeling can be independent of sense-making concepts and strategies.
