Agenda

What’s changed with the INCC standards?

What do these changes mean for classroom instruction?

How to get started?

What INCC are not…The CCSSM document makes this point:

“These Standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods”(CCSSI 2010, p. 5), and, as the introduction to CCSSM goes on to say, the order of the Standards neither implies a teaching sequence nor sets out the connections among ideas in different topics.

What’s changed? The Mathematics Standards: Key

Changes and Their Evidence

Domains not Strands - Focus

Teachers Thoughts

“After reading sample CCSSM topics for their grade, ~80% say CCSSM is “pretty much the same” as their former standards”

“If CCSSM places a topic they currently teach in a different grade only about ¼ would drop it”

Dr. William SchmidtMichigan State University

Progression Documents

Provide practical information about ways to teach specific content

RigorSkills, Understanding, and Application

Students will need to know procedures fluently, develop a deep conceptual understanding, and be able to apply their knowledge to solve problems.

Volume 28, Number 4July/August 2012Nine Ways the Common Core Will ChangeClassroom PracticeBy ROBERT ROTHMAN

Rigor“… the Common Core standards emphasize the cognitivedemand category ‘demonstrate understanding’ more thanstate standards do …”and twice the emphasis on “solve non-routine problems” thanstate standards do (p. 105).Porter, A., McMaken, J., Hwang, J., & Yang, R. (2011). Common core

standards: The new U.S. intended curriculum. Educational Researcher, 40(3), 103--‐116.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

Similarities between process standards and practice-

Focus on what it means to do mathematics

Standards for Mathematical Practice SMP

The SMP are the goals for mathematics studies.

The SMP are the means of mathematics studies.

So we need to ensure that students have ample opportunities to practice these standards.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

“As we work out nodes of instruction for the Standards of Practice, some may require more extensive and explicit attention than others.”

Susan Jo Russell in

Teaching Children Mathematics August 2012

SMP as do the content standards need targeted, intentional teaching

How to Get Started Read the standards carefully and with a

colleague

Talk about what is encompassed in the standard

Write in your own words the learning goal and

How you will know it is achieved

INCC Standard Activity

“Absent a learning target, students will believe that the goal is to complete the activity.”

Jan Chappuis – Educational LeadershipSeptember 2012

RISE Competency 2.1 Develop student understanding and mastery of learning objectives

INCC Standards Activity Choose a standard perhaps at your

grade level

Rewrite it as if you were putting it on the board so the students would understand the learning target for a lesson
