Is my child…
O Being taught more rigorous standards?O Gaining knowledge and increasing their
vocabulary from year to year?O Being asked to solve real-world problems
in math?O Being asked to explain their thinking as to
how they solved a math problem?
![Page 3: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
If you answered yes…
Then your child has experienced the
Common Core State Standards!
![Page 4: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What are the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?
A set of academic standards for K-12 students developed for English Language Arts and Math
![Page 5: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CCSS were…O Designed by educators and academic
expertsO Inspired by standards from the world’s
highest-performing countriesO Adopted by S.C. in 2010O Designed to teach critical thinking and
problem solving
CCSS are not a curriculum!!
![Page 6: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why are they important for my child?
O Ensure that all children receive a consistent high-quality education from school to school and state to state
O Prepare our children to confront the challenges of an unpredictable and ever-changing future
O Help them retain (or regain) their competitive edge in the global marketplace
O Create a level playing field for all students

The Shifts in Mathematics
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus
2. Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics
3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity

Critical AreasO Name the big ideas in math that
students should learn at each grade level
O Identify how instructional time should be focused
![Page 10: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects;
2. Describing shapes and space.
![Page 11: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Math ExpectationsStudents will…O Engage in real-world problem solvingO Learn and use multiple strategies to solve problemsO Build a conceptual understanding of concepts prior to
learning tricks or shortcutsO Use concrete materials (manipulatives) and/or
drawings and representations to develop understanding
O Develop number sense through meaningful tasks, activities, games, and/or lessons
O Fluently recall basic factsO Explain their thinking both orally and in writing
![Page 18: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What is my role as a parent?
O Schedule a conference with your child’s teacher to discuss his/her academic progress?
O Ask to see samples of your child’s classwork in mathematics and English language arts?
O Ask questions about your child’s progress?
O Reinforce your child’s learning at home?
![Page 20: Cutting to the Core of Common Core Cathy Hale Academic Specialist for Elementary Math December 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2c095503465c7e8b4698/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How can you help your child in math?
- Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts with your child.
- Encourage children not to give up while solving problems, to build stamina and develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t give them the answers - ask them to think of different ways they can solve problems.
- Have children illustrate the math they were thinking in their head and discuss it out loud.
- Have children apply their math knowledge to a real-world scenario at home, such as doubling a recipe or calculating the area of a room.

Children will become…
O Active learnersO Independent thinkers who can create
informed opinions, critique the opinions of peers and the world, defend their arguments with evidence, and communicate their points of view effectively
O Required to reason out the best answer, rather than memorize the “correct” answer
