That’s Not How I Learned Math Math Night High Plains Elementary School February 2016
Evening Outcome Participants will gain an awareness of the Common Core State Standards . • Shifts in Mathematics • Supporting Our Children • Changing Expectations
What are the Common Core Standards? Common Core (English version) Common Core (Spanish version)
“These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call ll to take the next xt step … It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promis ises we in intend to keep .” -- The Common Core State Standards in Math, page 5
Big Ideas about Math Grades K - 2 Number and place value Addition/Subtraction WHAT WE LE LEARN Basic facts Measurement
Big Ideas about Math WHAT WE Grades 3-5 LE LEARN Number and place value Multi-digit computation Measurement (area, perimeter, volume) Fractions Decimals
Developing the Behaviors of Mathematicians 1. Make sense of proble lems and persevere in solving them. 2. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. 4. Model l with mathematics. HOW WE LE LEARN 5. Use appropriate tools ls strategically. 6. Attend to precis isio ion. 7. Look for and make use of str tructure. 8. Look for and express regula larit ity in repeated reasoning.
Shifts in Mathematics Instruction Build skills and understanding across grade levels Learn more about less HOW WE TEACH Work with numbers easily Understand and apply Use math in the real world

These ideas no longer have a place: “ I was never that good at math either.” “Our family just doesn’t have the math gene.”
