  2. What Makes a Math Curriculum? A Balanced Approach • Articulated Standards and Aligned Goals • High Quality Instructional Materials • Developmentally Appropriate Best Practices

  3. Curriculum • Collaborative Development • Standards Aligned • PA Academic Standards • Common Core Standards • K-12 Vertical Alignment • Continuous Improvement

  4. Articulated standards and goals PA Standards (current, final revision June 2009) PA Standards (Common Core), Feb 27, 2012 – adoption 2013-2014 • Standard 2.1 – Number Systems and Operations • Standard 2.2 – Computation and Estimation • Standard 2.3 – Measurement and Estimation • Standard 2.4 – Mathematical Reasoning • Standard 2.5 – Mathematical Problem Solving • Standard 2.6 – Statistics and data analysis • Standard 2.7 – Probability and Predictions • Standard 2.8 – Algebra and functions • Standard 2.9 – Geometry • Standard 2.10 – Concepts of Trigonometry • Standard 2.11 – Concepts of Calculus Standard 2.1 – Numbers and Operations Standard 2.2 – Algebraic Concepts Standard 2.3 – Geometry Standard 2.4 – Data Analysis and Probability

  5. High Quality Instructional Materials • Core Resource • Supplemental Materials • Aligned to District Standards • Differentiated Instruction • Meaningful Assessments • Resource Materials

  6. Basic Math Facts (targeted fluency goals) • 1st Grade – Basic addition facts up to 10 • 2nd Grade – Subtraction facts base 10; Basic addition facts up to 20 • 3rd Grade • 1st Semester – addition and subtraction (minuend of 20) • 2nd Semester – multiplication facts (products of 50)

  7. Basic Math Facts (targeted fluency goals) • 4th grade – Multiplication facts with products up to 144; maintain addition, subtraction and multiplication facts • 5th grade – • End of first semester (first two quarters) • Division facts through 144 (dividend) • End of second semester (last two quarters) • Maintain all addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts
