CCSS-Mathematics: K-W-L Activity
Shifts within Mathematics-CCSS
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics
3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

The TrajectoryPreparation for College and the Workforce
“2014-15 is not really the finish line, but only the first leg in a
longer relay race to create a next generation teaching, learning and assessment system that prepare all students for a strong future and are worthy of our children,
teachers and schools.”
CCSC: Parent Informational Video
Math Practice Standards
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique
the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Math Practice Standards
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
The standards
stress not only “How?”procedural
skill but also… “Why?”conceptual understanding, to
make sure students are learning what
they need to succeed at higher levels.
What Does this Mathematical Shift Look Like and Sound Like?
(Math Lessons)
Kindergarten: Numbers 11 to 19 (8 minutes)
Grade 3: Persistence in Problem-Solving (5 minutes)
Grade 5: Whole Numbers & Fractions (9 minutes)
How Can Parents Help?
Be positive about math
Communicate with your child
Have high expectations
Respect the way your child learns
Look for math in daily life

Parent Checklist: Supporting Mathematics Learning
Have a positive attitude toward mathematics
Set high expectations
Discuss the mathematics being learned in class
Find opportunities to do mathematics every day
Be open to a variety of ways to solve a problem
Work on puzzles and other engaging mathematics problems
Discuss the mathematics found in sports statistics and other
real-world applications of mathematics
Use computers and calculators, as well as pencil and paper, to solve problems
Discuss why (or why not) an answer to a mathematics problem is reasonable
Practice memorized facts
Monitor homework
Make mistakes a part of learning
Encourage enrollment in challenging courses
What questions do you have?
