What Is The Common Core?

Why the Common Core?
College Readiness: 4 Year Gap H. School to College Texts College Math Readiness 62% of Jobs Require a Postsecondary Credential 40 Million + Movers Annually

The “Core of the Core” Is The
The shape of math in A+ countries A + Countries United States

Key Shifts: Shift 1 - Focus
Focus instruction strongly where the standards focus Fewer Topics Deeper Learning: “Deep, Not Wide”
Key Shifts: Shift 2 - Coherence
K 12 Number and Operations Measurement and Geometry Algebra and Functions Statistics and Probability
Coherence: Leading to Algebra
Operations and Algebraic Thinking Expressions and Equations Number and Operations— Base Ten Number and Operations— Fractions The Number System Algebra K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 High School
Key Shifts: Shift 3 - Rigor

Ms. Nguyen is a real estate agent. One of her clients is considering buying a house in the Silver Lakes area, where 6 houses have recently sold for the following amounts: $160,000; $150,000; $185,000; $180,000; $145,000; $190,000. What should Ms. Nguyen report as the
Median
price of these houses?
1) $160,000 2) $170,000 3) $180,000 4) $190,000 5) Not enough information is given.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
Discuss: How can you incorporate these standards in your classroom?
Which ones seem hardest/easiest for students to do?
What Does “Common Core Friendly” Instruction Look Like?
How Did This Instructor Use Questions?
What Did He Mean By, “Sometimes the Best Thing I Can Do is Walk Away?
How Did He Use Disagreements? https://www.cuny.edu/academics/programs/notable/CATA/cti cunystart/cunystart-resources-pubs/videos.html
Great Math Questions:
What does this mean/How did you get this?
Why did you decide to . . . . ?
Is there another idea you might try? Do you have any ideas about how you might figure out?
Others?

Using the Polya Method, Solve This Problem
Two painters can paint 2 rooms in 2 hours. If 12 rooms have to be painted in 6 hours, how many painters do you need?
One Way to Figure the Answer: Rooms

How Common Core Friendly is the Lesson Plan You Created for Homework?
Does it Focus Where the Standards Focus?
Do Students Use the Standards of Mathematical Practice?
Does it Encourage Deep Understanding?
Are Students Processors or Just Receptors of Information?
