  1. Common Core Math and CPM

  2. What is the Common Core? • Process Standards • 8 Mathematical Practices • Insight as to what teaching and learning should look like and sound like. • Difference: from 3 sentences to 3 pages Content Standards Grade/content specific What content will be taught at each grade level or subject area. Difference: heavier on algebra; less on basic skills

  3. What are the benefits of the CCSS? • Consistency across states • Accurate comparisons • Level playing fields

  4. Facts vs. Myths • Myth: • The math standards don't address algebra until high school. • Fact: • Infused in 7th and 8th grade • Basics of Algebra begin in Elementary

  5. Facts vs. Myths • Myth: • The curriculum is being “dumbed down”. Many skills that are currently being taught in lower grades are now not going to be taught until middle and high school. • Fact: • 4th through 8th grade = similar • Repetition (fractions) • Building up 7th and 8th

  6. Facts vs. Myths • Myth: • Teachers don’t teach, students are expected to teach themselves in groups. • Fact: • Student driven through questioning • More than one way • Notes and direct instruction

  7. Why CPM? • College Preparatory Mathematics • Textbook Adoption Process • Alignment to math practices • Alignment to content • Pilot with students • Benefits of ACT

  8. Traditional Math vs. CPM

  9. Traditional Math vs. CPM

  10. Common Questions • What will a typical day look like? • What will tests look like? • How will things be graded? • *Chapter 1 is all about team building surrounding math review.

  11. What the Textbook Looks Like

  12. What kind of support is there? • Teacher training • www.cpm.org • Parent guides (free to print) • Homework help • District Level Support • Additional materials for practice • Monthly newsletter updates • Back to School Nights • Video taping lessons • Ongoing Community Meetings

  14. Do’s and Don’ts of Helping Your Child • Do… • Ask questions • Stay informed • Communicate often (Remind 101) • Work together for the benefit of our students • Provide feedback on how we can improve • Don’t… • Make assumptions • Wait until the end of the year/semester to bring about concerns • Talk negatively in front of students
