Context for Treasure Hunt
As you complete the treasure hunt, consider the following Common Core Message.
CCSS Solve Three Specific Problems:– Increased Skills Demand and Competition– Students Not College/Career Ready– Variance Across the Country in
Standards/ExpectationsIs there evidence in CCSS for Mathematics to support
this?
Treasure Hunt
• Form Small Groups that represent the grade ranges from K through 12
• As a group complete the Treasurer Hunt for Mathematics
• As you complete the Treasurer Hunt, keep track of what intrigues you? What do you want to investigate deeper? Also, what surprised you?
Let’s Do a Quick Overview of Mathematics
• Here are some common, key messages that can be used to begin the discussion
• Hang on…it’s going to be quite a ride!
Criteria for New Standards• Fewer, clearer, and higher (Consistent, rigorous, and
shared aligned with college and work expectations)
• Aligned with college and work expectations
• Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills
• Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards (think DNA of education)
• Internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
• Based on evidence and research
Mathematics• Focus and coherence– Focus on key topics at each grade level.– Coherent progressions across grade levels.
• Balance of concepts and skills– Content standards require both conceptual
understanding and procedural fluency.• Mathematical practices (8 practices)– Foster reasoning and sense making in mathematics.
• College and career readiness – Level is ambitious but achievable.

CCSS Mathematics-High School
The high school standards are listed in conceptual categories:• Number and Quantity• Algebra• Functions• Modeling• Geometry• Statistics and Probability
Let’s Pause for a Bit
• Let’s Jigsaw the strands of mathematical proficiency.
• Please form groups of 5.• All read pages 115 to 118 and 133 to 135• Person 1 – reads conceptual understanding• Person 2 – reads procedural fluency• Person 3 – reads strategic competence• Person 4 – reads adaptive reasoning• Person 5 – reads productive disposition
How do the strands of mathematical proficiency
relate to the 8 mathematical habits of mind?

Let’s Dig a Little Deeper…
• The new standards support improved curriculum and instruction due to increased:– FOCUS, via critical areas at each grade level– COHERENCE, through carefully developed
connections within and across grades– CLARITY, with precisely worded standards that
cannot be treated as a checklist– RIGOR, including a focus on College and Career
Readiness and Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout Pre-K-12

Critical Areas
• There are typically two to four Critical Areas for instruction in the introduction for each grade level or course.
• They bring focus to the standards at each grade by grouping and summarizing the big ideas that educators can use to build their curriculum and to guide instruction.
Example of a Critical Area_______________________________________________________________________________________
Kindergarten_______________________________________________________________________________________
In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing, relating, and operating onwhole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time inKindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.
(1) Students use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities and to solve quantitative problems, such as counting objects in a set; counting out a given number of objects; comparing sets or numerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situations with sets of objects, or eventually with equations such as 5 + 2 = 7 and 7 – 2 = 5. (Kindergarten students should see addition and subtraction equations, and student writing of equations in Kindergarten is encouraged, but it is not required.) Students choose, combine, and apply effective strategies for answering quantitative questions, including quickly recognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects, counting and producing sets of given sizes, counting the number of objects in combined sets, or counting the number of objects that remain in a set after some are taken away.
(2) Students describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatial relations) and vocabulary. They identify, name, and describe basic two-dimensional shapes, such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons, presented in a variety of ways (e.g., with different sizes and orientations), as well as three-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. They use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their environment and to construct more complex shapes.
The Standards for Mathematical Practice complement the content standards at each grade level so that studentsincreasingly engage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise.
How do critical areas promote focus?
What is the number of critical areas per grade level/course?
• How will/could it improve teaching and learning in our school/district when each grade focuses on a few Critical Areas?

Main Activity: Focusing on the Critical Areas
• In small groups, read the Critical Areas for a grade level including the description.
• Read each content standard, marking the recording sheet with a:
√ when a standard strongly matches or supports your Critical Area and ? when you are not sure Leave blank if the standard does not match or support the Critical Area
Did every standard fall within a Critical Area?
Are there standards that fall within more than one Critical Area?
Do all the standards within a cluster fall within the same Critical Area?
How do the Critical Areas help organize and bring focus to your grade level standards?
How should we as a school (or district) use what we have learned today about Critical Areas in planning
for the implementation of the new standards?
How could this work be linked to existing curriculum built on GLEs/GSEs?
