MathematicsCommon Core State Standards (CCSS)
- Middle School Curriculum/program
adoption
-Audience: BOE Curriculum Committee
-Presenter: Craig M. Creller, K-12 Instructional Specialist
-Date: August 2013
Recent Changes in America…
• Common Core State Standards movement(CCSS)• - Voluntary, but almost Universal (46 States)• - Two testing Consortiums (PARC & SBAC), both
promising computerized testing and performance assessments.
• - Change in content AND teaching practices
• * Common Core State Standards (CCSS):http://www.corestandards.org/
Common Core Standards Adoption by State
http://www.ascd.org/common-core/common-core-standards.aspx
CCSS are coming …(fast!)
• “The Connecticut Frameworks was a guiding document for statewide curriculum until July 2010 when the State Board of Education adopted the CCSS, which is the current guidance for curriculum.
• National Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) testing begins in the 2014-15 school year.
Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)
A Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) dynamically adjusts to the trait level of each examinee as the test is being administered.
Efficiency: CATs are more efficient than conventional tests—they
generally reduce test length by 50% or more.
Control of measurement precision: A properly designed CAT can measure or classify all
examinees with the same degree of precision.
The System
Optional Interim assessment system—
Summative assessment for accountability
Last 12 weeks of year*
DIGITAL CLEARINGHOUSE of formative tools, processes and exemplars; released items and tasks; model curriculum units; educator training; professional development tools and resources; scorer training modules; and teacher collaboration tools.
Scope, sequence, number, and timing of interim assessments locally determined

CCSS - Major Shifts, K-5 - MATH• Numeration and operation intensified, and introduced earlier
• Memory of basic addition and multiplication facts at specific grades
• Early place value foundations
• Regrouping as composing / decomposing
• Specific references are made to using the “standard algorithm”
• • Emphasis on using unit fractions
• • Emphasis on number line as visualization /structure
• Focus on properties of operations
•Some topics held “sacred” at certain grade levels have changed.
•K – No time, money, calendar, graphs or patterning. Count by 10’s and 1’s to 100, using fingers to represent addition and subtraction.
•Gr. 1 – No money or fractions. Count, read, write and represent numbers to 120.
•Gr. 2 – No fractions, perimeter and area. Memory of all addition facts.
•Gr. 3 – Memory of all multiplication facts. Study of fractions begins.
•Gr. 4 – Fluently add and subtract multi-digit problems using the standard algorithm. Emphasis on unit fractions and using the numberline.
•Gr. 5 – No ratio, proportion and percent – starts in grade 6.
•Gr. 6-8 – Two paths – Traditional and Accelerated (Alg. In 8th)
•Gr. 9-12 – An 11th grade computerized test that covers Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II. CT has legislated, but yet to determine if there will be “EXIT” exams in Algebra 1, geometry, biology, American history, and grade 10 English as per CT Statute 10-221.
Key PointsFocus and coherence• Focus on key topics at each grade level.• Coherent progressions across grade levels.Balance of concepts and skills• Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.Mathematical practices• Foster reasoning and sense-making in mathematics.College and career readiness• Level is ambitious but achievable.
Design and OrganizationStandards for Mathematical Practice• Carry across all grade levels• Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student
Standards for Mathematical Content• K-8 standards presented by grade level• Organized into domains that progress over several grades• Grade introductions give 2–4 focal points at each grade level• High school standards presented by conceptual theme
(Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability)
Math TEACHING must change …
Instructional Shifts in MATH
• FOCUS“Less is more”, “Depth over Breadth”, Fewer topics
• COHERENCEDevelopmentally appropriate progressions: ie – What can or should a
child learn at each grade level
• RIGOR (balanced)Fluency (“fast & accurate”), Concepts (“Deep Understanding”) &
Application (“Real World”)

The Curriculum Revision Schedule ensures an ongoing and systematic review of each subject area. The schedule allows for spacing the reviews of subject areas to minimize an overload of reviews at any one time and maintains a balance in the introduction of program changes and new materials for students and staff. The schedule shows a five-year framework: evaluation - development - implementation - implementation and implementation. All core content areas have been revised to reflect information of CCSS by 2014.
CURRICULUM REVISION SCHEDULE
ELL
Science
NPS math updates …
• All 12 elementary schools are now on the Common Core w/computerized Benchmarks.
• Common Core Algebra and Geometry will begin this September (Fall 2013).
• Support for all Learners - Intensified Algebra and Math for College Success + Interventions.
• Benchmarks for ALL CCSS subjects/grades.• We are improving math instruction at all levels via
curriculum, programs & support.• * We must move grade 6-8 onto the CCSS this Fall!
Overarching Questions• Do we have what Reeves and Marzano call a
“guaranteed and viable curriculum”?
• Is our curriculum “common” to all schools?
• What common assessments exist? Are they algined to CCSS standards? How are they used? – To Drive Instruction? - For Progress Reports?
• Student Achievement across the District???
CCSS Curriculum and Pacing
• - It’s Already done … (Just waiting to align resources)
• - Written nearly 2 years ago …
• - We chose a resource (Big Ideas) in 2011-2012 …(and tested it in 7th grade at NHMS as part of a “national” pilot in 2011-2012)

Steering Committee Recommendations
• #1 - Adopt a “common” Common Core (CCSS) math program for all middle schools NOW!
• #2 – Begin work on CCSS Algebra (in process), Geometry (in process), and Algebra II (Fall 2013). Common Core Algebra and Geometry will be taught beginning this Fall (2013).
• #3 – Increase PD & Coaching. (grant funding?)
What were our Criteria???• Alignment to Common Core – for both Content and the
teaching (Standards for Mathematical Practice)
