Common Core Standards for Math… Less is More
SUCCESS

Mathematics Shift 1: Focus
What the Student Does…
• Spend more time on fewer
concepts.
What the Teacher Does…
• excise content from the curriculum • Focus instructional time on priority
concepts
• Give students the gift of time

Mathematics Shift 2: Coherence
What the Student Does…
• Build on knowledge from year to year, in a coherent learning progression
What the Teacher Does…
• Connect the threads of math focus areas across grade levels •
connect to the way content was
taught the year before and the years after • Focus on priority progressions
6
Mathematics Shift 3: Fluency
What the Student Does…
• Spend time practicing, with intensity, skills (in high volume)
What the Teacher Does…
• Push students to know basic skills at a greater level of fluency • Focus on the listed fluencies by grade level • Uses high quality problem sets, in high volume

Key Fluencies
Required Fluency
Add/subtract within 5 Add/subtract within 10 Add/subtract within 20 Add/subtract within 100 (pencil and paper) Multiply/divide within 100 Add/subtract within 1000 Add/subtract within 1,000,000 Multi-digit multiplication Multi-digit division Multi-digit decimal operations Solve px + q = r, p(x + q) = r Solve simple 2 2 systems by inspection

Mathematics Shift 4: Deep Understanding
•
What the Student Does…
• Show mastery of material at a deep level
What the Teacher Does…
• Create opportunities for students to understand the “answer” from a
variety of access points
• Articulate mathematical reasoning demonstrate deep conceptual understanding of priority concepts • Ensure that EVERY student GETS IT before moving on • Get smarter in concepts being taught
9
Mathematics Shift 5: Application
What the Student Does…
•
Apply math in other content areas
and situations, as relevant
What the Teacher Does…
• Apply math including areas where its not directly required (i.e. in science) • Choose the right math concept to solve a problem when not necessarily prompted to do so • Provide students with real world experiences and opportunities to apply what they have learned
10
Mathematics Shift 6: Dual Intensity
What the Student Does…
• Practice math skills with an intensity that results in fluency
What the Teacher Does…
• Find the dual intensity between understanding and practice within
different periods or different units
• Practice math concepts with an intensity that forces application in novel situations • Be ambitious in demands for fluency and practice, as well as the range of application

4 th GRADE SAMPLE QUESTION
Candy wants to buy herself a new bicycle that costs $240. Candy has already saved $32, but she needs to make a plan so she can save the rest of the money she needs. She decides to save the same amount of money, x dollars, each month for the next four months. Part A: Write an equation that helps Candy determine the amount of money she must save each month. Equation __________________________________ Part B: Solve the equation to find the amount of money she must save each month to meet her goal of buying a bicycle.
