1. Common Core Math Introduction Part 1: Instructional Shifts

2. Connections Protocol Connections Protocol   What are the shifts of the Common Core State Standards in mathematics, and how will this affect me?

3. Link Mathematical Shifts Hunt Institute Video “ These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step.” Page 5 CCSS Introduction

4. Mathematical Shifts Mathematical Shifts  Focus : strongly where the Standards focus.  Coherence : think across grades, and link to major topics* within grades.  Rigor : in Major topics* pursue: conceptual understanding, conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and procedural skill and fluency, and − application with equal intensity. − application with equal intensity.

5. Reflection on the Mathematical Practices  How I See” Protocol

6. Common Themes:  What can we list as the common themes around the shifts?
