Expected Outcomes

• Deepen understanding of the mathematical concepts in the critical areas of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics.

• Align “cluster headings” with the critical areas.

Principle #1: Increases in student learning occur only as a consequence of improvements in the level of content, teachers’ knowledge and skill, and student engagement.

Richard Elmore, Ph.D., Harvard Graduate School of Education

Principle #2: If you change one element of the instructional core, you have to change the other two.

For each grade level from kindergarten through grade 8, the Critical Areas outline the essential mathematical ideas for each grade level.

Task: Matching Clusters and Critical Areas

• Read through the “cluster headings” for your grade.

• Discuss each “cluster heading” and decide which critical area it falls within.

• Cut and paste the “cluster heading” on the page with the appropriate critical area.

Page 11: Module 1: A Closer Look at the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

Matching Clusters with Critical Areas: Small Group Discussion

• Were you able to match each cluster heading with one of the critical areas? How did you decide which area to place it under? What challenges did you have?

• How do the cluster headings help clarify the concepts in the critical areas?

Task: Comparing CCSS with Core Oregon Standards

• GREEN Highlight: Content is similar to what you are currently teaching

• YELLOW Highlight: Content is not necessarily something you are currently teaching, but it could be added easily

• RED Highlight: Content is new and you would need support (e.g., instructional knowledge and/or material resources) to teach this content effectively

Matching Clusters with Critical Areas: Whole Group Discussion

• What ideas came up in your small groups?• What questions or concerns do you have about the

standards? • How do the concepts in the Common Core compare

to the Core Oregon Standards for your grade? What is staying the same? What will be different? What content is shifting away from this grade? What new content is being added?

• What suggestions do you have for a transition plan for the standards that have changed grades?

Page 14: Module 1: A Closer Look at the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

The Standards

• Find the critical areas for your grade.• Find the cluster headings for your grade.• Find and read the standards that fall under

each cluster heading.• Write down two “first impressions” you have

about the standards.• Write down two questions you have about the

standards.

Expected Outcomes

• Deepen understanding of the mathematical concepts in the critical areas of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics.

• Align “cluster headings” with the critical areas.

Reflection Journal

• How have the “cluster headings” helped clarify the important mathematical concepts in the critical areas?

• How will you use this information to guide your curriculum and instruction? What changes will you make?

• What questions do you still have about the standards?

• How has this activity increased your understanding of the instructional core?
