Mathematics Curriculum Proposal
Transitioning to Iowa Core
Why Are We Changing
• Common Core Standards for Mathematics adopted by Iowa July 2010
• Full implementation, grades 9-12, required by July 1, 2012
• K-8 implementation 2014-2015• ALL STUDENTS receive core instruction

Context – How does IOWA compare?
A new reality is beginning to sweep across Iowa and the nation. There’s a growing understanding that big changes are going to be needed in education for Iowa students to be successful learners, earners and citizens in the 21st century.
“It’s not just the rest of the nation that Iowa’s kids have to compete with now. It’s the rest of the world,” said Iowa’s incoming director of education, Jason Glass..”

What About Testing
• New ITBS and ITED for Fall 2011• Mathematics aligned with Domains of
Common Core• 2 sections with mixture of problems
More information coming…Iowa Testing Service is scheduling informational meetings in May.

The work will begin here where the largest shift in content needs
to be addressed. Work in K-5 and 10-12 will follow
14
The Challenges …What?The Math Common Core includes:
1. Some content at different grade levels2. Some mathematical language that
may be new or unfamiliar to teachers3. Mastery vs. Spiral4. Significant advancement of some
topics to earlier grades.
• Content not repeated• Tracking eliminated
except acceleration• Success the first time• Students expected to
advance in mathematics
•Teachers will need opportunities to study, discuss, and plan for the changes included in the Core.•Students will need support during transition
15
The Challenges…So What?
• Do most 7th graders have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills required to successfully master the new 8th math standards (formerly Algebra I content)?
• Do most 8th graders have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills required to successfully master the new 9th grade math standards?
• Are most teachers familiar with and/or ready to teach the new 7th, 8th, and 9th grade math standards successfully to all students?
16
The Challenges…So What?
Since the answers to these questions are NO then a transition plan needs to be developed to
bridge the skill and knowledge gap to more readily ensure student and teacher success.

How Do We Proceed?
1. Option 1 – Cognitive Tutor2. Option 2 - Design Units to
Meet Common Core 3. Option 3 – EdTech Grant
Option 1: Cognitive Tutor

Option 3 – EdTech Grant1. Digital course content aligned to Iowa Core in multiple content areas will be
available in the fall, notification of opportunity March.2. Support for one to one schools3. Participation requires commitment to
– Use of materials/course work– Use of blended delivery– Participation in a Community of Practice
– Training April 26-27, 2011 http://www.infed.org/biblio/communities_of_practice.htm
– Strong recommendation to take two online courses to learn how to teach online prior to fall FY2011.
– Course titles» Technology for Online/Blended Learning » Facilitating Online/Blended Learning
– Buck Institute for Project Based Learning– Implementing Social Studies Teachers» June 22-24, 2011 in Coralville and June 28-30, 2011 in Adel
These sessions will target implementing Social Studies teachers http://www.bie.org/
Additional Opportunities
• April 18, 2011 from 8:30 – 11:30 AM
• April 27, 2011 from 8:30 – 11:30 AM
