COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS STANDARDS
Frederick County Public Schools
COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS
There are Common Core mathematics standards starting in Pre-Kindergarten and going all the way to Algebra 2.
Common Core mathematics standards will help to prepare students for both college and careers after high school.
WHAT’S THE SAME AND WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
SAME – The Common Core standards teach the same mathematics
content that we currently teach.
DIFFERENT – Some mathematics topics will be taught in earlier grades. For
instance, dividing fractions by fractions will be taught in 6th grade instead of 7th grade. Also, much of the content in our current Algebra 1 course will be taught prior to the Common Core Algebra 1 course.
Also some new standards will emphasize student understanding over procedural knowledge; but (again) this is NOT new math content.
COMMON CORE BASICS
Peter Cincotta, the FCPS Curriculum Specialist for Secondary Mathematics, goes over the basics of Common Core and how it will better prepare students for life after high school.

ACCELERATED MATH
HS credit will be given for just the 8th grade Accelerated Class
Geometry no longer in Middle School Increased rigor of the CCSS Since FCPS is still responsible for H.S.A., content must be
taught Focused work within each grade Content is not repeated across grade levels like in years
pass Skipping grades in Mathematics is not a viable option Highly Abled students need to be enriched, not reduced
curriculum. Skipping grade level mathematics creates knowledge gaps,
opposite of what is desired.
