The CCSS for Mathematics

The infrastructure of the CCSS for mathematics (CCSSM) differs from the infrastructure of the CCSS for ELA.

The CCSSM are written to assume mastery, in any given year, of the preceding year’s standards.

The CCSSM document is organized into three distinct sections.

Mathematics CCSS

Three Sections– Section I

• The Standards for mathematical practices

– Section II• The Standards for mathematical content for grades K-8

– Section III• The Standards for Mathematical content for high school

From Navigation Implementation of the CCSS Book I, Douglas Reeves, 2011

Section I: The Standards for Mathematical Practices

• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

• Reason abstractly and quantitatively• Construct viable arguments and critique the

reasoning of others• Model with mathematics• Use appropriate tools strategically• Attend to precision• Look for and make use of structure• Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Section II: The Standards for Mathematical Content for Grades K-8

The CCSS for math content are organized in DOMAINS, CLUSTERS AND STANDARDS within each grade level.

The preamble for each grade level begins with explicit descriptors of critical focal point for how best to use mathematics instructional time throughout the school year.

No more than four critical areas of study are emphasized in any given grade level.

Following the preamble, a overview page succinctly outlines each domain and cluster for a given grade.

Grade Specific standards are then organized within clusters.

THE CCSSM are organized by:

Domains are larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related

Clusters, within the domains, are groups of related standards. Standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject.

Standards, within the clusters, define what students should understand and be able to do at each grade level.

Section III : The Standards for Mathematical content for high school

Number and Quantity Algebra Functions Geometry Statistics and Probability

them!them!

How can we best help students prepare for the

Common Core?According to Douglas Reeves, founder of

The Leadership and Learning Center:

• Review the CCSS and highlight the standards you are already teaching.

• Commit to increasing informational writing in every discipline at every grade level.

• Examine carefully the requirements of your math curriculum

BOOKMARK THIS SITE!• www.corestandards.org• Look on your iPad for the Common

Core App.

Let’s explore!!

The Standards Spiral

• Do on own:– Copy the Standard for your grade

level on poster paper– write what I am doing/what I can do

• Then share with grade level JS-GS• General good(optional)
