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

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?)
