Presentation to the Board of Education November 21, 2013
State-led effort coordinated by the Council of Chief State School officers & the National Governors Association Goal: To provide a single set of clear and consistent educational standards in math and English language arts that states can share and voluntarily adopt: What should all students know and be able to do in English language arts and mathematics, pre-K through 12? To help our students perform at consistently high levels from school to school, district-to-district and state-to-state To better prepare our students and country to compete globally and for all our students to be College or Career Ready
2011 TIMSS - Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2011 NAEP – National Assessment of Educational Progress
How US States Stacked Up Against Counties from Around the World in Math & Science
(35 states outperformed the int’l average (500) in math and 46 in science) A major factor in the creation
set of national standards was the desire to be comparable and competitive internationally.
TIMSS & NAEP ASSESSMENTS
NYS Common Core Learning Standards in Mathematics (Sample Gr 7)
(Note the “Practices” are Embedded in the Standards)
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems The Number System
understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers Expressions and Equations
generate equivalent expressions
problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations Geometry
figures and describe the relationships between them
involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume Statistics and Probability
about a population
about two populations
develop, use, and evaluate probability models

June 2009 – work begins on the CCSS by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices June 2010 – CCSS are released July 2010 – NYS adoption of the Common Core State Standards – to date 45 states have adopted CCSS 2011-12 School Year – schools develop curricula aligned to CCSS. 2012-13 School Year – CCSS are implemented in grades 3–8. 2013-14 School Year – CCSS are implemented in grade 9.

After an extensive search, Manhasset decided to implement 2 new elementary math programs during the 2012-13 school year: Grades K – 2: Math in Focus Grades 3 – 6: GO Math In each subsequent year, the next grade level will move to Math in Focus. Both GO Math and Math in Focus are aligned to the CCSS, and are appropriate for Manhasset students. However, the Math in Focus program was more rigorous, and provides all students with strategies to help them become better mathematicians.

During the 2011-12 school year, middle school math teachers examined the Common Core State Standards in Math and modified their curriculum. The CCSS in Math and ELA were mandated for implementation during the 2012-13 school year. NYSED provided the Module 1 for 7th grade math on May 14, 2013, and Module 2 on September 25, 2013. After examining each module, the middle school math teachers felt their revisions were very closely aligned.

The total age of a woman and her son is 51 years. Three years ago, the woman was eight times as old as her son. How old is her son now?
Woman’s Age: Son’s Age: The 2 shaded areas are in the ratio of 8 to 1.
The total age of a woman and her son is 51 years. Three years ago, the woman was eight times as old as her son. How old is her son now?
Woman’s Age: Son’s Age: 8x + 3 + x + 3 = 51 9x + 6 = 51
9x = 45 x = 5
The total age of a woman and her son is 51 years. Three years ago, the woman was eight times as old as her son. How old is her son now?
Algebraically: Woman’s Age: x Son’s Age: y x + y = 51 x - 3 = 8(y - 3) x - 3 = 8y - 24 +3 +3 x = 8y - 21
x - 8y = -21 x + y = 51 x - 8y = -21 8( ) 8x + 8y = 408 x - 8y = -21 = 43 = 8
