COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS MATHEMATICS (CCSS-M) DEVELOPMENTCORE DEVELOPMENT Common Core State Standards were developed in
an effort to bring US standards in line with high performing international countries.
Written by 3 math educators as opposed to a committee of bureaucrats, like most previous state standards.
Most states have adopted them in order to qualify for Race to the Top funds.
CHARACTERISTICSCTERISTICS Fewer and more rigorous topics Aligned with college and career expectations Internationally benchmarked Rigorous content and application of higher-order
skills Builds on strengths and lessons of current state
standards Research based Intent is to be coherent, focused, clear and specific
OVERVIEW OF STANDARDS Greater opportunities for
differentiation Focus on mathematical thinking rather
than a discrete set of skills that result in simply correct or incorrect answers.
Students can access this mathematical thinking at many different levels.
Standards of Mathematical Practices are the same K-12.
MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning.
CURRENT VS. CCSS TESTING
Grades 2-11, writing at 4th and 7th
Only paper & pencil option
Only multiple choice Part of the state and
federal accountability system
• Grades 3-8 and 11, Grades 9 and 10 available for states that choose to use them
• Delivered via computer and are computer adaptive
• 60% will be assessed using performance assessment and scored using an analytic point scoring rubric (fashioned after MARS rubrics)
• 40% selected response will be machined scored
• Accountability system has not been established yet
Current STAR Assessments Proposed CCSS Assessments
TALK-12 A subcommittee comprised of one to
two teachers from each feeder district and three high school Teachers from Tam, Redwood and Drake H.S
Addresses concern regarding students’ poor performance in high school Advanced Algebra 2 and discrepancies in placement decisions for students
GOAL: Align math education in the feeder schools so that students have consistent opportunities
TALK-12 – WHERE ARE WE NOW? We have developed into a strong,
collaborative professional learning community across the Tam District feeder schools.
The purpose of the group has now evolved into an advisory group to determine plans for implementation of the CCSS-M.
At our February 17th meeting, we came up with an implementation proposal for CCSS-M.
The challenge is that that not all districts have been given the same professional development opportunities and are at various levels of readiness for implementation.
THE 8TH GRADE ALGEBRA PENDULUM SWING
WHERE WE’VE BEEN:•Increase number of students taking Algebra in 8th grade•Goal- to take Calculus in 12th grade•Reality- not all students are successful
WHERE WE’RE GOING:•CC Algebra 1 course is a more rigorous and deep course than current Algebra course•Developmentally designed for high school students who have had a strong foundation in middle school math•Carefully select students taking Algebra in 8th grade

•These pathways are fluid. It is possible that students could move to a different pathway during or at the end of the school year.•Pathways in 11th and 12th grade may vary
