Transitioning to the Common
Core State Standards
Melissa Murphy
Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning
•
Exciting changes are on the way for students
across the country. This change is called the
Common Core State Standards Initiative
(CCSSI). The Common Core State Standards
Initiative is an effort designed to improve
educational outcomes for students by
developing a set of common, internationallybenchmarked academic standards in
mathematics and English language arts for
students in K-12. Illinois is one of 45 states that
have adopted these standards in 2010
•
This presentation will focus on the new
mathematics standards and District 117’s
transition.
Common Core State
Standards for Mathematics
Grade Level Standards/Content
• K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized
by domain.
Standards for Mathematical Practice
• Describe mathematical “habits of mind”
• Standards for mathematical proficiency:
reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision
making, and engagement .
• Connect with content standards in each grade.

Standards for Mathematical
Practice
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving
them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
Let’s look at how students might
learn to model with mathematics
(Practice Standard 4)

Common Core State Standards
Focus on Problem Solving
Frances plans to use 24 inches of ribbon for the
rectangular picture frame she is making for her
grandmother’s birthday.
7 in
Frances cut a piece of ribbon 7 inches long, which
exactly fit on one side of the picture frame.
How long will the other three pieces of ribbon
need to be in order to fit the other 3 sides of the
picture frame?
Draw a diagram of your answer below.
How Will the Math
Classroom Look Different?
Students will:
•
•
•
•
Learn more about fewer, key topics.
Develop speed and accuracy.
Really know it, really do it.
Solve problems like they would encounter in the real
world.
• More problem solving, writing and communicating
about math.
• Higher-level thinking and increased rigor.
How you can help at home?
• Learn what the standards are
for your child’s grade level.
• Ask your child’s teacher
about their progress.
• Help your child learn basic
math facts.
• Provide time for your child to
work on math at home.
• Ask your child to do math that
comes up in real life.
