Desired Outcomes
After this activity participants will:
• Be familiar with the domains, clusters, and standards organization of the new standards
• Explore the connection of concepts within a grade and the progression of concepts between grades
• Understand how the domains and clusters help organize and bring coherence to the grade level standards

Supporting changes in practice
• The new standards support improved curriculum and instruction due to increased:– FOCUS, via critical areas at each grade level– COHERENCE, through carefully developed
connections within and across grades– CLARITY, with precisely worded standards
that cannot be treated as a checklist– RIGOR, including a focus on College and
Career Readiness and Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout Pre-K-12

A Coherent Curriculum
• Is organized around the big ideas of mathematics
• Clearly shows how standards are connected within each grade
• Builds concepts through logical progressions across grades that reflect the discipline itself.

Warm-Up: An International Perspective
• The mathematics curriculum of top achieving countries on international assessments looks different than the U.S. in terms of topic placement
