New Learning Standards

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

Key Ideas and Details:

1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.

3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

Craft and Structure:

4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

5. Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.

6. Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text.

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas:

7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.

8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.

9. Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading

Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity:

10. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.

Development Across Grade LevelsSTANDARD 2: Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.

Grade 2

• Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in text.

Grade 5

• Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g. how characters interact).

Grade 8

• Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to the characters, setting, and plot; provide an objective summary of the text.

Grades 11-12

• Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account; provide an objective summary of the text.

Domains in Mathematics

• Counting & Cardinality• Operations & Algebraic Thinking• Number & Operations in Base Ten• Number & Operations – Fractions• Measurement & Data• Geometry• Ratios & Proportional Relationships• The Number System• Expressions & Equations• Functions• Statistics & Probability

Development Across Grade Levels-Mathematics

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Grade 2

• Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Grade 5

• Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

Develop Across Grade Levels-Mathematics

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Grade 8

• Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3-5 = 3-3 = 1/33 = 1/27.

High Scho

ol Algeb

ra

• Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
