      Interesting that some of the highest priority content for college and career readiness comes from grades 6-8.

Education Week: Common-Core Math Standards Don't Add Up - 0 views

  • “Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.”
  • “Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations.”
  • “Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem.”

  • “Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.”
  • “Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning.”
  • “Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure,” and “Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and shortcuts.”
  • Missing entirely from the practice standards is a discussion of how to pose problems, and, more generally, how to ask powerful questions. This is a telling oversight. Unlike in school, real problems are not served up on a platter, fully formed. The standards-writers overlooked the most basic fact of people with genuine math expertise: They find problems!
  • Is it too late to change this? I hope not. Solving our problem of poor mathematics education depends upon it.

    Interesting opinion piece about how the new standards in math miss the mark.

  • Quantities and their relationships in physical, economic, public policy, social and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods.

    I find it interesting that these standards repeatedly refer to quantity reasoning.
