Characteristics of CCSS–M
Fewer and more rigorous standards Rigorous content and application of higher-order
skills
Aligned with college and career expectations Research-based
Build on strengths and lessons of current state standards
Internationally benchmarked
Principles Underlying the Common Core State Standards
Focus Identify key ideas, understandings and skills for each
grade or course Stress deep learning, which means applying concepts
and skills within the same grade or course
Coherence Articulate a progression of topics across grades and
connect to other topics Vertical growth that reflects the nature of the discipline

Shifts in Mathematics
Shift 1 Focus Teachers significantly narrow and deepen the scope of how time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They do so in order to focus deeply on only the concepts that are prioritized in the standards.
Shift 2 Coherence Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years.
Shift 3 Fluency Students are expected to have speed and accuracy with simple calculations; teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to memorize, through repetition, core functions.
Shift 4 Deep Understanding
Students deeply understand and can operate easily within a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the answer right. They learn the math.
Shift 5 Application Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so.
Shift 6 Dual Intensity Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity.

Design and Organization
Standards For Mathematical Practice Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert
student, and are expected to be implemented at all levels
Mathematical Content Standards K-8 standards presented by grade level
Organized into domains that progress over several grades. High school standards presented by conceptual
themes Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry,
Statistics & Probability

Standards for Mathematical Practice
“The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important ‘processes and proficiencies’ with longstanding importance in mathematics education.”

Reasoning and Explaining2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Seeing Structure and Generalizing7. Look for and make use of structure8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Modeling and Using Tools4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools strategically

Standards for Mathematical Practice
On one hand, the Standards for Mathematical Practice describe mathematical content students need to learn.
SP1. Make sense of problems “… students can explain correspondences between
equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends.”
10
Standards for Mathematical Practice
On the other hand, they describe the nature of the learning experiences, thinking processes, habits of mind, and dispositions that students need to develop a deep, flexible, and enduring understanding of mathematics.
SP1. Make sense of problems “….they [students] analyze givens, constraints, relationships
and goals. ….they monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. …. and they continually ask themselves “Does this make sense?”

High School Conceptual Categories
Rather than list HS content by course or by grade level, CCSSM identifies “Conceptual Categories.” These categories represent: The big ideas that connect mathematics across high
school Such as Functions or Probability and Statistics
A progression of increasing complexity Description of mathematical content to be learned
elaborated through domains, clusters, and standards
High School Pathways
The CCSSM Model Pathways are two models that organize the CCSSM into coherent, rigorous courses Pathway A—two algebra courses and geometry Pathway B—three integrated courses
The CCSSM Model Pathways are NOT required. The two sequences are examples, not mandates
A variety of year 4 courses can follow either pathway
Articulating the Challenge
The Common Core State Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time…to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards-based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.
