1. Understanding the
Common Core
State Standards in
Mathematics (CCSSM)

2. History 2008 – National Math Advisory Panel Report
K-8 mathematics education should strive for proficiency with fractions (including decimals, percents, and negative fractions) as a major goal.
2010 – Common Core State Standards

3. Standards Implementation
Plan for curriculum changes
Grades K-2
Grades 3-5 and HS
Grades 6-8
First Assessment on CCSS

4. CHANGES
In comparison to the 2008 NJCCCS, the NJDOE has made the following codes:
C = Currently required/very similar to required content
+ = New requirement, previously at a higher grade level
- = New requirement, previously at a lower grade level
N = New content, not previously required

5. WHERE are the CHANGES?
Grade
Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 N + 11 14 10 -

6. K-8 Mathematics Domains
K Counting and Cardinality
K – 5 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Measurement and Data
Geometry
3 – 5 Number and Operations – Fractions
6 – 7 Ratio & Proportional Relationships
6 – 8 The Number System
Expressions & Equations
Statistics & Probability
8 Functions

7. 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
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.

8. 6-8 Mathematics Standards Features

Analyze proportional relationships
Solve one-variable equations and inequalities
Generate equivalent expressions
Describe geometrical figures and relationships between them
Understand statistical variability and characteristics of populations

21. Pedagogy
The way that we teach mathematics has a significant impact on the understanding of concepts.
We must strive to reach all students through conceptual development of topics, not rote memorization.
