Developing the Developing the StandardsStandards The new Florida K-8 Mathematics Standards
are framed by the recently released NCTM Curriculum Focal Points for Prekindergarten through Grade 8 Mathematics and informed by the Singapore Standards, the SSS Grade Level Expectations, and standards from other states that received high grades for rigor, focus, specificity and clear progression of content.
There are clear differences between the new
standards and the 1996 K-8 mathematics SSS.
Developing the Developing the StandardsStandards The “framers,” a group that
represented K-12 teachers, K-12 mathematics supervisors, mathematicians, and mathematics educators, were convened to address issues related to the current standards and to establish a framework for the design of the new standards. The framers recommended that the Curriculum Focal Points be used as the foundation for the new K-8 standards.
Developing the Developing the StandardsStandards The “writers,” a group that
represented the same set of stakeholders, were convened to generate the revised standards. The writers of the K-8 standards had the task of actualizing the intent of the Curriculum Focal Points within a set of grade-level specific standards.
Developing the Developing the StandardsStandards
September 2006: Framers met with “experts” to learn about task and conceptualize new standards.
October 2006 - January 2007: Writers wrote draft of standards.
February - March 2007: New standards posted for public review period.
April - May 2007: Standards revised by writers and representation from framers based on comments received during review
September 2007: Standards approved by State Board of Education.
Who were the Who were the “experts”?“experts”?
Dr. Barbara Reys: Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC); shared a review of 42 state’s mathematics standards.
Dr. Jane Schielack: Chaired NCTM committee that wrote the Curriculum Focal Points.
Dr. Kaye Forgione: Senior Associate of Mathematics Benchmarking Initiative with Achieve, Inc.
Dr. Alan Ginsburg: US Dept. of Education, What the United States can Learn from Singapore’s World-class Mathematics System.
Dr. R. James Milgram: Wrote the California Mathematics Standards.
Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards Big Ideas---Standards which are aligned with the
Curriculum Focal Points. – They should be the primary focus of mathematics instruction
for each grade level, K - 8. – There are three Big Ideas for each grade. – The Big Ideas are not the same for each grade. – Instructional time may not be evenly divided among the three
Big Ideas. The order of the Big Ideas does not determine the
order of instruction nor does it indicate that one idea requires greater instructional emphasis.
Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards Supporting Ideas---standards that serve one or more of the
following purposes: – Establish connections to and between the strands of
mathematics as defined by NCTM;
– Prepare students for future mathematics teaching and learning; and
– Address gaps in instruction that are important to the understanding, fluency, and application of mathematics ideas to problem solving.
The Supporting Ideas are not less important than the Big Ideas, but are key components to a structurally sound mathematics education.

Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards Old Standards had an average of 83.3
Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) per grade.
The new Standards have an average of 19 benchmarks per grade.
Intent of the Intent of the StandardsStandards What is the importance of having
fewer expectations per grade????
Intent of the Intent of the StandardsStandards A member of the Florida Department
of Education shared a reaction by a teacher during an open forum regarding the new Florida standards. The teacher looked at the short list of curricular topics in a grade and said,
“I can teach this in 20 days, what do
I do the rest of the year?”
Intent of the Intent of the StandardsStandards How do we help teachers with similar
views come to understand what is meant by facilitating “deep understanding, mathematical fluency, and an ability to generalize” (NCTM, 2006, p. 5)?
Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards To enable the development and
mastery of a few key concepts in each grade level it was necessary to make decisions about the placement of topics. As a result, some topics are not introduced until later grades. This does not necessarily mean that students are incapable of learning at an earlier grade. Instead, it is an attempt to streamline the focus of content at each grade level.

Fractions are introduced in kindergarten
Coordinate Geometry introduced in grade 2

Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards Mathematics instruction at each
subsequent grade will continue to use concepts and understandings learned in earlier grades as needed.
When asked at a recent Florida Council When asked at a recent Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics meeting, a of Teachers of Mathematics meeting, a representative from FCAT said, representative from FCAT said, “students would still need to know “students would still need to know concepts from previous grades. They concepts from previous grades. They just won’t be tested in isolation.” just won’t be tested in isolation.”
Describing the Describing the StandardsStandards Some prerequisite knowledge and
skills, not specifically identified in the standards, may need to be added to the curriculum to meet the standards.
Students who move to Florida from other states may need exposure to topics not addressed at their grade of entry.
Real-World ProblemsReal-World Problems
To the extent possible, it is expected that the relevance of mathematics would be made clear to students by illustrating how mathematics is used in the real world. To this end, the curriculum should include real-world contexts in addition to mathematical contexts. The overall goal is to help students relate mathematics to the real world and their experiences.
