How Do Common Core State StandardsImprove Learning?
16
• Prepare our students to be competitive with students from top-performing countries
• Communicate clearly what is expected at each grade level
• Create cohesion across states
How Will This Affect My Child in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade?
17
Most important goals:
• Learning to read
• Learning to write
• Becoming competent and confident in working with numbers.
How Will This Affect My Child in Grades 3-6?
18
• Greater percentage of reading of informational text as opposed to narrative or “stories”
•Greater emphasis on writing: narrative, informative/explanatory, and opinion/argument
How Will This Affect My Child in Grades K-6?
19
• Students will use the Go Math textbooks.
• Students will be asked to explain their mathematical reasoning.
•Students will learn to solve problems using multiple methods.
Conceptual Understanding
Procedural Fluency
Application & Modeling
Math instruction must be “balanced” with equal attention given to all three components

How Can I Help My Child at Home?Praise children for making an effort and
encourage perseverance. Help them develop the mindset that they
should be proud of working hard and learning something new.
Use conversation starters that encourage students to explain why or how they know something.
23
How Can I Help My Child to Do Well in School?
ALL Students:Read, read, read! Encourage – and model –
reading of all sorts of materials: books of fiction; books that provide information; informative internet sites;magazines; sets of directions.
Read for sustained periods of time daily.
24
How Can I Help My Child to Do Well in School?
ALL Students:Speak positively about math! If your own experiences in mathematics were not positive, do not share that with your child. Instead, tell your child, “Math is the basis of technology and a lot of science. Math is pretty cool.”
25
