LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT2011-12

TRANSITIONING TO THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS

The Math Department

Agenda

Review new CCSS Focus specifically on the new practice standards

Read about each practice standard, break into groups and create a poster for what each standard will look like/sound like in the classroom

Look at the new curriculum map During this time you will learn how to navigate the

map Plan for the first 2 weeks

During this time we will work out plans for our rituals and routines, and Math block for the first 2 weeks of school.

Common Core State Standards

• The mathematics in the earliest grades is not as wide but much deeper than last year’s standards (Arkansas Frameworks for Mathematics). The philosophy is to give the early childhood students a much more focused curriculum, allowing time for a thorough mastery not only of procedural fluency but also of conceptual understanding and application.

• In contrast, the mathematics curriculum for the middle level grades is not only much deeper, but it is also wider as well. The philosophy is that students who have a thorough understanding of the early curriculum will be able to accelerate the pace of their learning in the middle years.

• Let’s take a closer look…

Focus Areas: Grade K

• Represent, relate, and operate on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects

• Describe shapes and space

**More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics**

AR Frameworks – 51 content standardsCommon Core – 22 content standardsDropping – patterns, algebra, symmetry,

probability, money, elapsed time, clock, calendar, graphs, perimeter, area

Focus Areas: Grade 1

• Develop understanding of addition and subtraction within 20

• Develop understanding of place value relationships

• Develop understanding of linear measurement

• Reason about attributes of geometric shapes

AR Frameworks – 63 content standardsCommon Core – 21 content standardsDropping – patterns, algebra, symmetry, most of data,

probability, money, calendar, perimeter, area

• Extend understanding of base 10 number system

• Build fluency in addition and subtraction• Use standard units of linear measure• Describe and analyze shapes

AR Frameworks – 66 content standardsCommon Core – 22 content standardsDropping – patterns, algebra, symmetry,

perimeter, area, transformations, probability, calendar

Focus Areas: Grade 2addition and subtraction standard algorithm not introduced until 4th grade!

Investigating the 1st grade CCSS

The Task

In your team:1. Read the given practice standard silently2. Summarize with your team what you

think the practice standard means in your own words

3. Brainstorm what you think the practice standard would look like and sound like in a classroom. What would you look for?

4. Create a poster to present to the whole group

The How!What are we going to do differently?

K-2 Focus for 2011-12 – the HOW

Teachers will: use the new maps to plan deeper instruction more

efficiently Create classroom structures and nurturing cultures for

effective learning through strong routines and rituals Use problem-solving as a staple in our curriculum Give students many opportunities for practice and

differentiation through work stations Streamline the closure of lessons by focusing on a

content and a ritual and routine objective for every lesson Look for ways to streamline anecdotal note taking and

continue keeping records on children’s growth through the concepts

Utilize new technology to keep up with the pace of today’s students

K-2 Focus for 2011-12 – the HOW

The district will: Tighten up the wording of our rubrics Provide training on more effective, interesting,

and efficient technologies Continue updating the “resources” section of

the curriculum maps so that resources can be shared equally throughout the district
