Common Core Standards
Math & ELA ~ A Closer LookMay 26, 2011

MathGreater Focus and Coherence
Move away from “mile wide and an inch deep”
Aim for clarity and specificity
The K-12 standards stress conceptual knowledge and understanding in addition to procedural skills
Students who master the K-5 standards will have a strong foundation in whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
K‐5 Domains
Counting and Cardinality (K only)
Operations and Algebraic Thinking (Grades 1‐5)
Number and Operations in Base Ten (Grades 1‐5)
Number and Operations‐‐Fractions (Grades 3‐5)
Measurement and Data (Grades 1‐5)
Geometry (Grades 1‐5)
Major Shifts K‐5
Numeration and operation intensified, and introduced earlier
Early place value foundations in grade K
Regrouping as composing / decomposing in grade 2
Decimals to hundredths in grade 4
All three types of measurement simultaneously(Non‐standard, English and Metric)
Emphasis on fractions as numbers
Emphasis on number line as visualization /structure
First Challenge ~
Teachers need to KNOW what they need to teach and HOW it is different than what they taught previously.
While Common Core may require teachers teach less, the less is more in depth since academic rigor increases at each grade level. Common Core emphasis requires some concepts will be taught in earlier
grades while others are moved to later in a student's educational career. ex: adding and subtracting numbers fluently appears in 2nd grade instead of 3rd – understanding multiplication and division moves from 2nd to 3rd grade.
Take a look at the Common Core Standards Aligned with our Math GLCEs What changes do you see to your curriculum - Record
What’s moving in? What’s moving out? Mark up the text – please circle/highlight terminology and/or concepts that you do not
clearly understand
How to Read the MATH Common Core
Second Challenge ~
Teachers need to UNDERSTAND the new standards and HOW to teach them to ensure a deeper understanding.
Common Core focuses on building conceptual understanding, and a deep understanding of: number and operations, place value and number sense
Engaging instructional material and resources should -- provide for a conceptual understanding so students understand the procedural
algorithms (understand WHY not just HOW) support a vigorous math foundation utilize virtual (and hands-on) manipulatives to teach concepts adapt to each student's level with a variety of strategies utilize instruction and practice that is engaging integrate instruction and assessment
Choose one or two domains to analyze with your grade level Common Core Domain Analysis
Language ArtsIntegrated Model of Literacy Across the
Curriculum
Move away from “mile wide and an inch deep”
Broad expectations that are consistent across the grade levels
Build upon a “staircase” of skills to ensure students possess College and Career readiness skills
Grade-specific end-of-year expectations
K‐5 Strands
Reading (including Foundational Skills)
Writing
Speaking & Listening
Language
Challenges ~

Teachers need to UNDERSTAND the new standards and HOW to teach them to ensure a deeper understanding.
While Common Core may require teachers teach less, the less is more in depth since academic rigor increases at each grade level. Common Core requires students read and comprehend high-quality
literature and informational text in a variety of genres across the curriculum while focusing on increasing text-complexity
Common Core requires students to write specific text types and for specific purposes. These include: writing arguments to support claims, writing informative and explanatory texts, and writing narratives
