Why Common Core Math?
New curriculum out of the U.S. that’s been adopted by most states and benchmarked internationally.
Teaches a more focused set of major math concepts and skills. (Deeper rather than broader)
Gives students more time to master important ideas and skills.
Uses rich and more rigorous content to engage in real world problem solving.
Developed to meet 21st century demands.

Assessment
Standards-Based Grading
Formative vs. Summative AssessmentsFormative – non-evaluated, “check-in”
Summative (tests, projects) - evaluated- opportunity for students to demonstrate their current mastery
of a standard- retakes are possible based on trends shown by student
throughout unit
Behaviors – Organization, Responsibility, Collaboration, Reflection
Student scores start at top
Rubrics created in conjunction with students

Homework
Designed to ‘hardwire’ a known skill through practice
Should be: Done independently Foster self study by utilizing the
resources Not be a source of conflict Not exceed 30 minutes* Mindful that “Practice Makes
Permanent”

How you can help…Foster independence, perseverance, self
reliance, and confidenceRegularly review your child’s work Establish a homework routine Use the support systems – Google calendar, blogCreate opportunities for your child to be the
teacherBe a role model by making math connections
◦ Pose real world math challenges for your child to solve
Please do not let math become a source of conflict between you and your child
Strive for automaticity with mental math
