Question: The Common Core Standards are about
math and ELA. Why are they important to us?Robust and relevant to the real worldSet expectations for what students should learn,
but not howFocus on learning skills, not content

Question:
The Common Core Standards are about math and ELA. Why are they important to us?Teachers are struggling to figure out how to teach
the Common CoreProvides an opening to integrate economics and
financial literacy into math and English classrooms○ See:

Reading Comprehension (Standards 1−9) Range of reading and level of text
complexity (Standard 10, Appx A and B) Key Advances
Addresses reading and writing across the curriculum
Balances literature and informational textsFocuses on text complexity and what students
read

Writing Writing types/purposes (Standards 1−3) Key Advances
Emphasizes argument and informative/explanatory writing
Uses source documents (evidence)

Mathematics Standards 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

Points of Intersection: ELA/Literacy
Students use informational texts Students engage in research Students use academic language and
domain specific language

Points of Intersection: Mathematics
Example: The Rule of 72 Show mathematically in general terms or by using
graphs and examples that this rule is correct. Example: Becoming a Millionaire
Assume that you are 18 years old and drink a latte a day.
Show that under some reasonable set of assumptions that if you give that up and invest the money saved at historical interest rates you will be a millionaire by time you’re 60.
