Common Core Shifts in MathShift Topic

Shift 1 Focus – focus on the math that matters most

Shift 2 Coherence – What you learned in each grade, builds on what you learned the grade before.

Shift 3 Fluency – Insist on developing fluencies, ex. Simple addition and subtraction, multiplication tables

Shift 4 Deep Understanding – By truly understanding the core math, they can apply concepts to something they haven’t seen before.

Shift 5 Application - Ability to apply math in different situations even when you are not prompted to do so.

Shift 6 Dual Intensity- Fluency and Application of understanding. Practices vs. a few rich problems.
