Welcome to Curriculum Night Old Richmond Elementary Fifth Grade
Common Core Adopted by 48 states Research and evidence based Aligned with both college and work expectations Rigorous Internationally benchmarked Intended to be a living work – as new and better evidence emerges, the standards will be revised
Math Goals now revolve around a deeper understanding of math concepts Learning multiple ways to solve problems Explaining and/or demonstrating how solutions are achieved Move beyond computation towards practical problem solving
8 Standards of Mathematical Practice Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
