Mathematics
This resource guides educators in implementing the Common Core standards through collaborative strategies like the Think-Pair-Share method. Emphasis is placed on real-world problem-solving that integrates multiple mathematical concepts, including geometry, proportional reasoning, and graphing. Teachers are encouraged to foster discussions in groups to identify essential skills and strategies needed to tackle complex word problems. Explore how to effectively prepare students for the demands of standardized assessments in mathematics.

Mathematics Common Core and the New Expectations
Think-Pair-Share • Geometry • Computations • Proportional Reasoning • Measurement • Graphing • Probability • Fraction, Decimal, Percent • Equations & Inequalities • Functions • Polynomials Take 3 minutes to read and analyze the problem. In your group, begin discussing what strategies are needed in order to solve the problem. Make a list of the skills needed to solve the problem.
Sum-it-up! • Common Core is demanding more from: • Students • Teachers • Word problems that are real world and involve more than just one math concept. • Common Core scoring will be done by super computers. (Hand out answer keys) • www.shawms.weebly.com
