COMMON CORE STANDARDS • 3 Key ideas for parents

About the Common Core:

• 1) Thinking Deeply. It emphasizes critical thinking.

• 2). Integrating Learning.

• It emphasizes learning across disciplines (integrating subjects).

• 3). Showing How They Know. Emphasizes proof and evidence.

• To support Common Core at home ask “why”.

• Use “because” after saying “no”. Give reasons-you to them and them to you.

• Encourage questions and opinions.

• Look for patterns.

• Compare how things are alike or different. Describe and categorize things
