What is the Common Core?
Process Standards
8 Mathematical Practices
Insight as to what teaching and learning
should look like and sound like.
Difference: from 3 sentences to 3
pages
Content Standards
Grade/content specific
What content will be taught at each grade level or subject area.
Difference: heavier on
algebra; less on basic skills
What are the benefits of the CCSS?
• Consistency across states
• Accurate comparisons
• Level playing fields
Facts vs. MythsMyth:The math standards don't address algebra until high school.
Fact:• Infused in 7th and 8th grade• Basics of Algebra begin in
Elementary
Facts vs. MythsMyth: The curriculum is being “dumbed down”. Many skills that are currently being taught in lower grades are now not going to be taught until middle and high school.
Fact:• 4th through 8th grade = similar• Repetition (fractions)• Building up 7th and 8th
Facts vs. MythsMyth:Teachers don’t teach, students are expected to teach themselves in groups.
Fact:• Student driven through questioning• More than one way• Notes and direct instruction
