  2. Common Core Organization English Language Arts Strands • Reading • Writing integrated with • Speaking and Listening science & social studies • Language 3

  3. Common Core Organization Mathematics • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Standards for Mathematical Content 4

  4. Common Core Organization Standards for Mathematical Practice • Carry across all Grade levels • Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student 5

  5. Common Core Organization Standards for Mathematical Content • Presented by Grade level, K-8 • Organized into domains progressing over several grades • Introduced at each Grade level by 2–4 focal points • Presented by conceptual themes at high school 6

  6. Middle School Math

  7. 2011-2012 School Year • Most Grade 7 Students will take Pre-Algebra in heterogeneously grouped classes • The Pre-Algebra A course will not be offered • Grade 8 Pre-Algebra B will incorporate algebra concepts to begin preparing students for the Grade 9 Keystone Exam • Professional development continues to be provided for instructional planning and pacing to address needs

  8. 2012-2013 School Year • Algebra I content will be spread out over 2 years (Grade 8 & 9) Keystone Exam • The Grade 8 “Pre-Algebra B” course will be called “Algebra 1A” • Algebra 1 will continue to be offered in Grade 8 as an Honors Level course Keystone Exam • Professional development will continue to provide support for math instructional planning and preparation

  9. High School Math

  10. 2011-2012 School Year • Start the transition to incorporate Standards for Mathematical Practice • Continue professional development for instructional planning and sequencing • Start discussions to prepare for the Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry Keystone Exams {currently on hiatus for the 2011-2012 school year}

  11. 2012-2013 School Year • Grade 9 students who fail Grade 8 Algebra IA will need to repeat Algebra IA. • Students who pass Algebra IA will progress into Algebra IB. These students will participate in the Keystone Exam. • The “Algebra Seminar” course will transition into “Algebra IA with a lab component”
