This resource provides essential insights for educators transitioning from awareness to implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics. It highlights the importance of analyzing state and school-specific data to inform teaching practices. Key topics include addressing current standards, understanding assessment overlaps, and teaching critical skills in measurement and geometry. Designed to assist teachers in navigating the changes, it emphasizes proactive instructional strategies to ensure student success in mathematics.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics: Transitioning from awareness to implementation Harriet Pritchard – Office of Assessment Mathematics
State-wide vs. Your School • Looking at state-wide data gives you a point of reference. • More important, drill through the data to look at your data. • Compare with the state if you want. • Use what you learn to inform teaching.
One Issue to consider • PASS Testing in 2011-12 and 2012-13 • Teachers must address all of the current Standards/Indicators (2007 for math and 2008 for ELA). • Teachers must look to CCSS to address skills that might be skipped because of the transition.
Consider- • 3-5.6 Tell time to the minute. • 4-5.6 Elapsed time (12 hr.) • 5-5.6 Elapsed time (24 hr.) • 3MD1 Tell time to the minute; time intervals and word problems • 4MD2 Any operation to find time, any unit
Consider- • 5-5.2 Measure angles with protractor • 6-4.9 Complementary and supplementary angles • 4MD6 Measure angles with protractor • 4MD7 Find unknown angles in a diagram
Consider- • 8-5.5 Perimeter & area of trapezoids • 7-5.2 Surface area & volume of prism, pyramid, cylinder • 6G1 Area of special quadrilaterals • 6G4 Surface area of 3-D figures
Assessment and Teaching • PASS and CCSS “Overlap” Assessment in 2013-14 • More than the “Overlap” should be taught • CCSS Assessment in 2014-15 • If ONLY Assessment drives instruction, students will be left out in the cold for many skills. • Long before CCSS impacts large-scale assessment, it must impact teaching.
Common Core Math in the High School General PARCC and SBAC • Organized by conceptual category • Algebra • Functions • Modeling • Geometry • Statistics and Probability I think….. • Both plan for EOC test • Both plan for CC Readiness test
