Common Core State Standards Mathematics (K-6) Jennifer Jessup Sullivan County BOCES

Butt Stretch What? Meet and Greet Why? Friendly greeting to get the blood flowing How? When music starts: –Get up and walk around –Say Good Morning to everyone that you make eye contact to –When the music stops, sit back at your seat

Road Map Why Common Core Standards? Introduction to Mathematics CCSS What now? Objective: * gain an awareness of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (K-6) * understand the shifts that will occur in teaching Mathematics

Teaching Math is like this picture because…..

Math Common Core in a Package Shifts Practices Priorities Standards Fluencies

Who created the standards? External and State feedback teams included: –K-12 math teachers –University & graduate mathematics faculty –State curriculum and assessments experts –Researchers –National organizations

6 Shifts in Mathematics Document in Hand

Digging into the Shifts Why? To understand the shifts in instruction that will be happening How? –As a group, come up with one sentence that summarizes the shift(s) that was assigned to your group. –Create a visual or icon that relates to your shift. –Take notes so that all have the same information

Shift Assignments - Shifts 1 and 2 - Shifts 3 and 4 - Shifts 5 - Shifts 6

Jigsaw Activity Why? Understand all 6 Shifts How? –Form groups that consist of at least one of each shape. –Beginning with share the summary sentence and the visual that was create. Be sure to explain why your group decided on this visual.

Mathematical Practices Describe mathematical “habits of mind” Standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement Connect with content standards in each grade

Mathematical Practices Why? To read and understand what habits will be expected of our students How? –Read silently Mathematics: Standards for Mathematical Practice (independently) –Highlight key phrases for each practice –With your group, create a picture of a person that shows what a mathematical student will look like in relation to the Mathematical Practices –Be read to share out

Focus area by Grade Level Band

Focus Priorities

Focusing on Priorities Why? To understand what topics will be focused on at my grade level Why? To understand what topics will be focused on at my grade level How? How? –In your grade level groups, divide up the NYS Mathematics Standards (2005) –While reading through your section, cross out the PI’s that do not fit into the Focus Areas for your grade level –When everyone is done, share out to your group what you crossed out

How to Read the Standards

–Domains: overarching ideas that connect topics across the grades –Clusters: illustrate progression of increasing complexity from grade to grade –Standards: define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level
