  3. Arizona State Standards:Background

  4. The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what K-12 students are expected to learn. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

  10. English Language Arts • Kindergarten – Example of previous standard Students respond to teacher questions and participate in read-alouds.

  11. English Language Arts • Kindergarten – Example of new standard Students respond,participate and generate questions about complex text.

  12. Mathematics Kindergarten – Example of previous standard • Let’s all count on our way to the cafeteria. • Ready, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5…” • Let’s count to 20 starting at 4, “4, 5, 6, 7, …”

  13. Mathematics Kindergarten – Example of new standard A group of children are in a house that has an upstairs and a downstairs. How many children are upstairs? How many children are downstairs? How many children are in the house?

  14. Mathematics Kindergarten – Example of new standard Some children went downstairs. How many moved? How many are upstairs? How many are downstairs? How many children are there in the house?
