MATHEMATICS

The PA Common Core

Four Main Classifications

• 1. Number and Operations
• 2. Algebraic Concepts
• 3. Geometry
• 4. Data Analysis

*Each classification is addressed in each grade level

8 Standards for Mathematical Practice

• 1. Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them
• 2. Reason abstractly & qualitatively
• 3. Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning
• f others
• 4. Model with mathematics
• 5. Use appropriate tools strategically
• 6. Attend to precision
• 7. Look for & make sense of structure
• 8. Look for & make sense of regularity in repeated

reasoning

Geometry Example

Geometry Example

Grade 5 Content

 Multiply a fraction by a fraction  Express the calculation “add 8 and 7 and

multiply by 2” …. as 2 x (8+7)

 Display and interpret data as charts, tables,

bar graphs, line graphs, etc…and use appropriate scale and labels

8th Grade Example Question

Statistics & Probability Given data on whether students have a curfew on school nights and whether they have assigned chores at home, is there evidence that those who have curfews also tend to have chores?

High School Example Question

Linear Functions & Data Organizations

Jeff’s restaurant sells hamburgers. The amount charged for a hamburger (h) is based on the cost for a plain hamburger plus an additional charge for each topping (t) as show below. h=0.60t +5

What does the 0.60 represent in the equation?

• A. the number of toppings
• B. the cost of a plain hamburger
• C. the additional cost for each topping
• D. the cost of a hamburger with 1 topping
