Louisiana Student Standards - Math
Goal for K-12 Mathematics Students in Louisiana are ready for college or a career if they are able to meet college and
workplace expectations without needing remediation in mathematics skills and concepts. The standards represent the steps students must take to be able to meet this goal.
Standards Review
• Louisiana educators created a new set of standards written specifically to address the needs of Louisiana students. The new standards ensure connections that
• provide a smooth transition from one grade to the next,
• realign standards to provide developmentally appropriate content for all grades or courses while maintaining high expectations,
• are not vague or open to multiple interpretations, and
• allow teachers to choose the most appropriate method for teaching specific content.
• Louisiana educators rewrote 26% of the 433 math standards for grades K-12 after discussing each standard.

Louisiana Student Standards - Math
The math Louisiana Student Standards are based in three primary shifts.
The shifts are:
• Focus strongly where the standards focus.
• Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades.
• Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity.
Dig In To The Standards and Teachers Companion Documents
Choose one grade band: • 3-5 math • 6-8 math • High school math 1. Select your designated for the grade band. 2. Divide into grade-level groups. 3. Printed materials provided for each grade-level group: - Enhanced Crosswalk documents - Pages from the Teachers Companion document
- Suggestions to guide your work 4. Record your reflections in writing on your suggestion sheet. 5. Follow your grade-band facilitator’s instructions for grade-band
discussions.
Louisiana Student Standards - Math
FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards ensure connections that provide smooth
transitions from one grade to the next.
EXAMPLE: Currency standards were added to kindergarten, first and third grades to
more effectively build students understanding of currency over time. IMPLICATION: Provides a progression of skills and understanding that did not
exist before. Allows teachers to integrate the teaching of currency with other standards (e.g., Kindergarten students can use coin names in conjunction with K.OA standards).
Louisiana Student Standards - Math
FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards are clear and not open to multiple interpretations.
EXAMPLE:
IMPLICATION: Teachers know the exact content, skills, and understandings expected of students.
Louisiana Student Standards - Math
FOCUS: Louisiana’s new standards allow teachers to choose the most appropriate method for teaching specific content
EXAMPLE:
One of the original standards in Grade 4 indicated that students were to “apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.” The standard was revised to read “Multiply a fraction by a whole number” allowing teachers to determine the most appropriate method of instruction.
IMPLICATION: Allows teachers to determine which prior knowledge will make the best connections for his/her students.

WHAT EUREKA MATH IS AND IS NOT
WHAT IT IS WHAT IT IS NOT Using real-world problems Not endless exercises without context Understanding why Not isolated memorization Explaining your reasoning Not working alone Doing math in your head Not relying on a calculator?

As extensive as these resources are, Eureka Math is not meant to be prescriptive. Rather, it is offered as a basis for teachers to hone their own craft. Great Minds believes deeply in the ability of teachers and in their central, irreplaceable role in shaping the classroom experience. To support and facilitate that important work, Eureka Math includes: • Scaffolding Hints—helping teachers support Response to Intervention (RTI). • Embedded Video—demonstrating classroom practices. • Consistent Lesson Structure—allowing teachers to focus energy on engaging students in the mathematical story. • Convenient Interactivity—progressions-based search functionality to permit navigation between standards and related lessons, linking all lessons in a particular standards strand or mathematical progression, and learning trajectory. This functionality also helps teachers identify and remediate gaps in prerequisite knowledge, implement RTI tiers, and provide support for students at a variety of levels.

General Overview • What makes Eureka different from other curricula? • What are all the different parts and pieces?
Support teachers as needs arise. Possible topics: • Principal Training: classroom look-fors • Adjusting lessons and schedules to support all learners • Grading to reflect learning • Scoring student work and adjusting instruction
How Do the Units Work? • How are students’ knowledge and skills built through practice over the unit?
How Do You Plan Purposefully? • How do teachers plan to teach all students? • What additional materials, adjustments, etc. can be made to support all learners?
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
DISTRICT FOCUS AREA CONNECTION
• CURRICULUM We will utilize and support this high quality curriculum that is aligned to state and national standards.
• SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Goals will be set utilizing student data from the use of the Eureka math. Leaders MUST study the curriculum and support implementation!
DISTRICT FOCUS AREA CONNECTION
• ASSESSMENT Informal assessments are included within the Eureka math curriculum. Cumulative assessments are provided at the end of the unit. These assessments are aligned to the CCSS. The district will create and utilize assessments to determine student growth and achievement.
DISTRICT FOCUS AREA CONNECTION
• PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Professional Development will be ongoing throughout the duration of the year to ensure Eureka math is being taught with fidelity.
