Making Sense of The CT Mathematics Standards (Common Core State Standards) Grades 9-12 ATOMIC Conference November 29, 2011 Shelbi Cole CSDE Sharon Heyman- UCONN Peggy Neal-CREC Slide 2 Goals Provide a brief tour of the Standards Standards for Mathematical Practice Mathematical Content Standards Critical Areas of Focus Layout Explain the CSDE Unit Template Development Process Review Sample Units Q & A Slide 3 10/12/20143 Mathematics Common Core Document Slide 4 STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE Making Sense of the CT Mathematics Standards Slide 5 The standards for mathematical practices are located in the front of the mathematics standards and within the nature of mathematics section at each grade level. The standards for mathematical practice illustrate the connection between 21 st century skills and mathematical content and instruction. The standards for mathematical practices should be considered when creating curricula, assessments, and professional development for teachers, and administrators. Standards for Mathematical Practice Slide 6 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 Slide 7 SMP 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically Proficient Students: Explain the meaning of the problem to themselves Look for entry points Analyze givens, constraints, relationships, goals Make conjectures about the solution Plan a solution pathway Consider analogous problems Try special cases and similar forms Monitor and evaluate progress, and change course if necessary Check their answer to problems using a different method Continually ask themselves Does this make sense? Gather Information Make a plan Anticipate possible solutions Continuously evaluate progress Check results Question sense of solutions Slide 8 SMP 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively Decontextualize Represent as symbols, abstract the situation Contextualize Pause as needed to refer back to situation x x P 5 Mathematical Problem Slide 9 SMP 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Use assumptions, definitions, and previous results Make a conjecture Build a logical progression of statements to explore the conjecture Analyze situations by breaking them into cases Recognize and use counter examples Justify conclusions Respond to arguments Communicate conclusions Distinguish correct logic Explain flaws Ask clarifying questions Slide 10 SMP 4: Model with mathematics Images: http://tandrageemaths.wordpress.com, asiabcs.com, ehow.com, judsonmagnet.org, life123.com, teamuptutors.com, enwikipedia.org, glennsasscer.comhttp://tandrageemaths.wordpress.com Problems in everyday life Mathematically proficient students make assumptions and approximations to simplify a situation, realizing these may need revision later interpret mathematical results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether they make sense reasoned using mathematical methods Slide 11 SMP 5: Use appropriate tools strategically Proficient students are sufficiently familiar with appropriate tools to decide when each tool is helpful, knowing both the benefit and limitations detect possible errors identify relevant external mathematical resources, and use them to pose or solve problems Slide 12 SMP 6: Attend to precision Mathematically proficient students communicate precisely to others use clear definitions state the meaning of the symbols they use specify units of measurement label the axes to clarify correspondence with problem calculate accurately and efficiently express numerical answers with an appropriate degree of precision Comic: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=66819http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=66819 Slide 13 SMP 7: Look for and make use of structure Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure step back for an overview and shift perspective see complicated things as single objects, or as composed of several objects Slide 14 SMP 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated and look both for general methods and for shortcuts maintain oversight of the process while attending to the details, as they work to solve a problem continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results Slide 15 MATHEMATICS CONTENT STANDARDS Making Sense of the CT Mathematics Standards Slide 16 Mathematics | Kindergarten In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics. (1) Students use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities and to solve quantitative problems, such as counting objects in a set; counting out a given number of objects; comparing sets or numerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situations with sets of objects, or eventually with equations such as 5 + 2 = 7 and 7 2 = 5. (Kindergarten students should see addition and subtraction equations, and student writing of equations in kindergarten is encouraged, but it is not required.) Students choose, combine, and apply effective strategies for answering quantitative questions, including quickly recognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects, counting and producing sets of given sizes, counting the number of objects in combined sets, or counting the number of objects that remain in a set after some are taken away. (2) Students describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatial relations) and vocabulary. They identify, name, and describe basic two-dimensional shapes, such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons, presented in a variety of ways (e.g., with different sizes and orientations), as well as three-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. They use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their environment and to construct more complex shapes. Each grade level section of the Common Core contains Critical Areas of Focus A description of the key areas where instruction & learning time should be focused.

The standards are not defined by grade levels, rather they are defined by conceptual category. The high school standards also describe additional mathematics that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus, advanced statistics, or discrete mathematics.
