Voluntary National Governors Association (NGA)
and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)
Fewer Clearer Higher www.corestandards.org
37 States have adopted
Highlights of CCSS – ELA
Reading Balance of literature and informational
texts Text complexity
Writing Emphasis on argument and informative/
explanatory writing Writing about sources
Highlights of CCSS – ELA
Speaking and Listening Inclusion of formal and informal talk
Language Stress on general academic and domain-
specific vocabulary
Standards for reading and writing in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects
Highlights of CCSS – Math
Focus and Coherence A few key topics at each grade level Coherent progressions across grade levels
Balance of concepts and skills Require both conceptual understanding and
procedural fluency
Mathematical practices Foster reasoning and sense-making in math
Highlights of CCSS – Math
Focus in early grades on numbers and operations
Evened out pace across the grades
High school math focus on using math
Emphasis on problem-solving and communication

Curriculum Implementation
Standards are essential, but not sufficient
Number and Operations in Base Ten 5.NBT
Understand the place value system.
5.NBT.1. Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
5.NBT.2. Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
5.NBT.3. Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. C
a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).
C
b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
C
5.NBT.4. Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place. C
Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
5.NBT.5. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. N
