Howard County’s Transition to

Common Core Mathematics

Bill BarnesCoordinator of Secondary Mathematics

Tonight’s Outcomes

Develop a deeper understanding of Common Core Mathematics

Examine Howard County’s plans for transition to Common Core Mathematics

Identify resources to support your child’s successful participation in the mathematics program

Students in the United States are falling behind (internationally)

Many graduates are not ready to participate in college-level mathematics

Achievement gaps exist among student groups

Common agreement (46 states) on what mathematics should be taught and assessed at each grade level

Fewer, higher, and deeper content standards

Focus on a balance of mathematical content, processes, and learning behaviors (Standards for Mathematical Practices).

The Standards for Mathematical Practices

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
