Explain your thinking.

Instructional Shifts in MathematicsShift 1 Focus Instruction focuses on concepts that are prioritized in

the standards. More time is spend on fewer concepts.

Shift 2 Coherence Instruction carefully connects learning within and across grade levels so that students build understanding onto foundations from previous years.

Shift 3 Fluency Students develop speed and accuracy with simple calculations

Shift 4 Deep Understanding

Students deeply understand the math and operate easily within a math concepts before moving on.

Shift 5 Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application

Shift 6 Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity

Standards for Mathematical PracticeMP 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving

them.MP 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

MP 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

MP 4 Model with mathematics.

MP 5 Use appropriate tools strategically.

MP 6 Attend to precision.

MP 7 Look for and make use of structure.

MP 8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Critical Focus Areas

K-2 Addition and subtraction, measurement using whole number quantities.

3-5 Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions.
