Math NightPresented by:Faculty and Staff of Turning Point academyOctober 10, 2013
Order of Presentation1. Common Core Shifts2. Testing Shifts- MSA vs. PARCC3. “Life Application”- Helping at Home4. Activities Based Math5. Classroom Break Out
What is the Common Core? (CCSS)
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) describe what students are expected to learn from K-12
Covers Mathematics and English/ Language Arts
What does this mean for my student?
More rigorous classroom demands A shift in instructional methods More responsibility—deeper thinking and
more explanation and justification required Mastery of standards expected —no more re-
teaching from year to year New assessment—PARCC (Partnership for
Assessment for Readiness for College & Careers)

Common Core States
Testing ChangesMSA vs. PARCC• Assessment of school progress will
change in 2014.• What is PARCC• When will PARCC testing startPreparing for the PARCC• Higher Order Thinking- ask questions that
require explanation and reasoning.
MSA vs. PARCCMSALook at the expression below.12 + 4 x (12 - 9)
What is the value of the expression?a. 24b. 48c. 51d. 55

Part C
Scoring the PARCC
8 Mathematical Practices 1- Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them. 2- Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3- Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others. 4- Model with mathematics 5- Use appropriate tools strategically. 6- Attend to precision 7- Look for and make use of structure (graphs,
diagrams) 8- Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning (what patterns do you see?)
