Statistics from National Research Council & the National AcademiesRising Above the Gathering Storm

• In 2009, 51% of United States patents were awarded to US companies.

• The United States ranks 27th among developed nations in proportion of college students receiving undergraduate degrees in math, science, or engineering.

• Only 15% of US graduate level math and science jobs are filled by United States graduates.

• On the PISA exam for mathematical proficiency of 15 year-olds, the United States ranked 31st out of 65 countries tested, and when looking just at mathematics literacy among the top students, the US ranked 28th.

Curriculum

RESEARCH DATA STANDARDS

Grade-Level Standards K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by

domain and content 9-12 high school standards organized by

conceptual categories

Standards for Mathematical Practice Describe mathematical “habits of mind” Standards for mathematical proficiency:

reasoning, problem-solving, modeling, decision-making, and engagement

Connect with content standards in each grade

Overview of the K-12 CCSS Math

StandardsElementary

Curriculum

• Focus on numeracy in the early grades

Math Standards:Key PointsElementary

Curriculum

Mastery means multiple representations of understanding and ability to apply it to a novel situation

Emphasis on solving real-world problems

Move away from a mile-wide, inch deep curriculum to more depth and focus on topics.

Current8th Grade Math:

Expand (x – 2)( x – 3)

3rd GRADE MATH:Amber didn’t know what 7 X 5

equals, but she knew 5 X 5 = 25 and 2 X 5 = 10. Use drawings,

words, and/or equations to explain why Amber can add 25

and 10 to find what 7 X 5 equals.

6th GRADE MATH:What is the value of 3x + y + 3 – 3(x + y)

when x = 18.22 and y = -1?Find a value for k and a value for n so that (x – 2)(x – 3) =

x2 + kx + n.

What Can Parents Do?

• Avoid conveying negative attitudes toward math.

• Ask your child what he/she did in math class today? Ask for details and explanation.

• Give your child meaningful problems that use numbers and shapes while you are going about everyday life. Ask you child to explain.

• Expect your child’s homework to include more than simple computation worksheets.

What Can Parents Do?• Expect some confusions as part of the learning

process but emphasize that effort, not ability, is what matters. Math is understandable and can be figured out.

• Have high expectations.• Be an advocate for math proficiency in our

schools.• Support professional development for teachers

and administrators.
