Why move to Common
Core?
 Preparation: The standards are college- and career-ready. They will
help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to
succeed in education and training after high school.
 Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked.
Common standards will help ensure our students are globally
competitive.
 Equity: Expectations are consistent for all – and not dependent on a
student’s zip code.
 Clarity: The standards are focused, coherent, and clear. Clearer
standards help students (and parents and teachers) understand what
is expected of them.
 Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work
collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and
expertise, to create curricular tools, professional development,
common assessments and other materials.
Post Secondary Study Is More Important
Than Ever
The Georgetown
University Center on
Education and the
Workforce shows that
by 2018, we will need
22 million new college
degrees — but will
fall short of that number
by at least 3 million
post-secondary
degrees, Associate’s or
better.
CCSS: Change is coming
On October 28, 2010 CCSS in
Mathematics were adopted by the
Oregon State Board of Education
The CCSS will replace Oregon’s
2007/2009 adopted standards
Standards are K-12
Oregon Math Crosswalk
The findings include:
Most of the content found in the current
Oregon standards is also found in the
CCSSM.
A significant amount of content currently
found in Oregon’s high school mathematics
standards is found at the middle school level
in the CCSSM, which will necessitate a shift
in instruction.
Over 50% of the CCSS high school content is
currently found in Oregon’s Advanced
Knowledge and Skills, which are not
standards in Oregon’s current system.
K-8 Mathematics Overview
The K- 8 mathematics standards:

The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation
in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, fractions and decimals.

The 6-8 standards describe robust learning in geometry,
algebra, and probability and statistics.

Modeled after the focus of standards from highperforming nations, the standards for grades 7 and 8
include significant algebra and geometry content.

Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the
content and skills will be prepared for algebra, in 8th grade
or after.
High School Mathematics Overview
The high school mathematics standards:
 Call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of
thinking to real world issues and challenges
 Require students to develop a depth of understanding and ability
to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and
employees regularly are called to do
 Emphasize mathematical modeling, the use of mathematics and
statistics to analyze empirical situations, understand them
better, and improve decisions
 Identify the mathematics that all students should study in order
to be college and career ready
For K-12 Mathematics
Standards for Mathematical Practice
 Describe mathematical “habits of mind”
 Standards for mathematical proficiency:
reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision
making, and engagement
 Connect with content standards in each grade
 Standards for Mathematical Practice will be
included in both Formative and Summative
Assessments.
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.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
CCSS - Assessment
 SBAC: SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
 In 2010 SBAC received a $176 million Race to the
Top grant to develop CCSS assessments
 Over 30 states are part of SBAC, including
governing and advisory states (Oregon is a
governing state)
 Assessments are scheduled to be available in 201415 (this year’s 7th graders will be in 11th grade)
CCSS - Assessment
Assessments will include
 the required summative assessment
•
•
•
adaptive, based on OAKS
will test content and mathematical practices
taken by students no more than twice in a school year AND only
during the last 3 months of the year
 optional formative, or benchmark, assessments
 a variety of tools, processes and practices
that teachers may use in planning and
implementing informal, ongoing assessment
CCSS Impact on Middle and High
School
 Final ODE implementation plan not released yet (draft
was released in October)
 Tentative PPS plan

K – 2 moves completely to the CCSSM in 2011-2012
6th grade may move to CCSSM in 2011-2012
First phase of changes for HS will likely occur in 2012-13
Teacher workgroup this summer to make recommendations
on 6-12 course trajectories
Recommendations brought to principals in the fall for
feedback
