1. Common Core Math
Math for the 21st Century

2. Three Shifts in Mathematics
Focus
Coherence
Rigor

3. Shift One
Significantly narrow the scope of content and deepen how time and energy is spent in the math classroom.
Focus deeply only on what is emphasized in the standards, so that students gain strong foundations

4. Shift Two
Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.
Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new set of events, but an extension of previous learning.

5. Shift Three The CCSSM require a balance of:
Solid conceptual understanding
Procedural skill and fluency
Application of skills in problem solving situations
*This requires balanced intensity in time, activities, and resources in pursuit of all three.

6. Try This One I have 18 tens, 23 ones, and 1 hundreds.

8. Past/Present
We were a country where accurate computations in math through algorithms was of the utmost importance…
To a country where numeracy (number sense) and its application in all areas of mathematics is of the utmost importance.

9. Textbooks
Unfortunately, textbook developers have yet to accept that the Common Core Mathematic Standards are radically different from their predecessors.
