What is the Common Core State Standards Initiative?
• A state-led effort to develop a common set of college and career readiness standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics that
• Align with college and workplace expectations
• Include rigorous content and applications of knowledge
• Are based on evidence
• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
• Are informed by frameworks from top performing countries

What role did the College Board play?
• The College Board, one of the original partner organizations, has been part of the Common Core effort since the launch of this initiative in the spring of 2009.
• Writing Team: College Board staff served on the original College and Career Readiness Standards writing team
• Feedback Group: College Board staff provided ongoing feedback and reviews of the K-12 standards
• Advisory Group: Member of the 5-organization advisory group guiding the initiative
• Alignment Data: Supporting the development of research and data to assist in the implementation of the standards

Overview of the English Language Arts Standards• College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards
• Overarching standards for each strand that are further defined by grade-specific standards
• Grade-Level Standards in English Language Arts
• K-8, grade-by-grade
• 9-10 and 11-12 grade bands for high school
• Four strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language
• Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
• Standards are embedded at grades K-5
• Content-specific literacy standards are provided for grades 6-8, 9-10, and 11-12

Overview of the Mathematics Standards
• Grade Level Standards• K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain• 9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual
categories
• Standards for Mathematical Practice• Describe mathematical “habits of mind” • Standards for mathematical proficiency: • reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and
engagement • Connect with content standards in each grade

Organizational Structure
The K-8 standards:
K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals
The 6-8 standards focus learning on geometry, algebra, and probability and statistics
Modeled after the focus of standards from high-performing nations, the standards for grades 7 and 8 include significant algebra and geometry content
Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills will be prepared for algebra, in 8th grade or after

Organizational Structure
The High School Standards:
Expect students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges
Require students to develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly are called to do
Emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them better, and improve decisions
Identify the mathematics that all students should study in order to be college and career ready

Format of the High School Standards
High school standards are organized around five conceptual categories:
Number and Quantity
Algebra
Functions
Geometry
Statistics and Probability26

Methodology
Alignment Considerations:
• Content of the CCSS and of the CB standard
• Level of rigor of the standards being compared
• Clarity (ambiguity) of the standards being compared
• Vertical alignment across multiple grades or conceptual categories

CC.8.G.5 Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the three angles appear to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so
