Common Core: What We Know
Two Stars and a Wish
◦Record two things you already know about CC
◦Record one thing you would like to know about CC
4
Common Core Overview
Prepares students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and work
Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a student’s zip code
Provides educators, parents, and students
with clear, focused guideposts
Offers economies of scale (uniformity)

English Language ArtsNew Emphasis
Reading◦ Balance of literature and informational
texts◦ Text complexity
Writing◦ Emphasis on argument and
informative/explanatory writing◦ Writing about sources

English Language ArtsNew Emphasis
Speaking and Listening◦ Comprehension and collaboration ◦ Inclusion of formal and informal talk
Language◦ Stress on general academic and domain-
specific vocabulary

Anchor Standards
Four sets of College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards:
Reading (Page 10)
Writing (Page 18)
Speaking and Listening (Page 22)
Language (Page 25)

From Anchors to Grade Level Standards
Grade level standards derive from the Anchor Standards.

Common Core Organization
Mathematics
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Standards for Mathematical Content
15
Common Core Organization
Standards for Mathematical Practice
◦ Carry across all grade levels
◦ Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student
16
Common Core Organization
Standards for Mathematical Content
◦ Presented by grade level, K-8
◦ Organized into domains progressing over several grades
◦ Introduced at each grade level by 2–4 focal points
◦ Presented by conceptual themes at high school
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Describe varieties of expertise that should be developed in students
Rely upon longstanding important processes and proficiencies
Articulate the behaviors of truly mathematically competent citizens
17
Standards for Mathematical Practice
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.
18
Standards for Mathematical Practice
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.

Design and Organization
Content standards define what students should understand and be able to do
Clusters are groups of related standards
Domains are larger groups that progress across grades

Grade Level Overview
(Grade 4 page 27 in CCSS)
Focus: Instructional Time
Grade 4 Overview (1 page)
Provides in depth explanation for the grade level
24
Key Advances Focus and coherence
Focus on key topics at each grade level. Coherent progressions across grade levels.
Balance of concepts and skills Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.Mathematical practices
Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.
College and career readiness Level is ambitious but achievable.

25
Key Changes Focuses in early grades on number
(arithmetic and operations) to build a solid foundation in math
Evens out pace across the grades
Focuses on using math and solving complex problems in high school math - the real world emphasis
Stresses problem-solving and communication
