Reflect on how the Standards for
Mathematical Practice will be infused into
daily instruction.
Become familiar with the Maryland's College
and Career-Ready Standards.
Analyze the instructional SHIFTS
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. Apply to every
Mathematics Unit
8. Look for and express regularity in reasoning
in every
grade/course

Counting and Cardinality
Know number names and the count
sequence.
Count to tell the number of objects.
Compare numbers.
Grade 4
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Use the four operations with whole
numbers to solve problems.
Gain familiarity with factors and
multiples.
Generate and analyze patterns.

COHERENCE
Purposeful placement of standards to
create logical sequences of content topics
that bridge across the grades, as well as
across standards within each grade.

“Rigor is the
goal of helping
students develop
the capacity to
understand
content that is
complex, ambiguous, provocative,
and personally or emotionally
challenging.”
Shift #3
Rigorous!









Challenge students
Require effort and tenacity
Focus on quality
Have multiple paths
Not always “tidy”
Connect ideas in
mathematics
Develop strategic, flexible
thinking
Encourage reasoning and
sense-making
Actively involve students
Non-rigorous








Has awkward, difficult values
Require minimal effort
Focus on quantity, repetition
Scripted, includes pathway to
the solution
No links within mathematics
Routine, rote procedures
Memorize rules without
understanding
Teachers do the work while
students observe
What’s the Problem?
Solve the task if each letter
represents a number from 0 through 5.
As you solve the problem, think about
the reasoning you used to come up with
the solution.

PARCC Model Content Framework for
Grade 3-5, includes:



3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide
within 100 etc…
4.NBT.B.4 Fluently add and subtract multidigit whole numbers using the standard
algorithm.
5.NBT.B.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit
whole numbers using the standard
algorithm.

RIGOR
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
2. Understand a
fraction as a number
on the number line;
represent
fractions on a number
line diagram.
Conceptual
Understanding
Mariana is learning about fractions.
Show how she can divide this hexagon
into 6 equal pieces. Write a fraction that
shows how much of the hexagon each
piece represents.

What does it
mean to
MODEL
with
mathematics?
A model can be very simple, such as
using a geometric shape to describe a
physical object like a coin. Even such
simple models involve making choices.
It is up to us whether to model a coin as
a three-dimensional cylinder, or whether
a two dimensional disk works well
enough for our purposes.

The greatest danger
for most of us is not
that our aim is too
high and we miss
it….
But that it is too
low and we reach
it.
