Comparing The Five Content Standards: A Set Of Math Standards

710 Words3 Pages

The Common Core recommends a set of Mathematical Practices that all teachers should develop in their students. These practices are similar to NCTM’s Mathematical Processes from the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. The NCTM standards for students in mathematics are based on the following ten standards; the content standards (Number and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis and Probability); and the process standards (Problem Solving, Reasoning and Proof, Communication, Connections, and Representation). The five content standards are organized by grade bands and cover specific expectations. The five process standards described and explains what each standards look like and the teacher’s responsibility of making sure students attain it.
The CCSS math standards are formatted in eleven domain (Counting & Cardinality, Operations & Algebraic Thinking, and Number & Operations in Base Ten, Number & Operations-Fractions, Measurement & Data, Geometry, Ratios & Proportional Relationships, The number System, Expressions & Equations, Functions, and Statistics & Probability) which provides clarity and specificity rather than broad general …show more content…

Both sets of standards expect students to learn similar amounts of content in each grade level, and the National Standards builds on the original standards first developed by the NCTM in 1989 by expressing clear and realistic priorities for student learning in kindergarten through grade 8. The CCSS were designed to be similarly focused, although they extend through the end of high school. Both make clear that curricula should be focused on a tightly defined set of content and skills each year in order for students to build a strong foundational understanding of mathematics before they begin high school

3). Will the Common Core State Standards lead to the inappropriate use of assessments for young children? The questions posed directed the writers toward comparing Common Core State Standard with Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) in order to see how the two practices aligned with one another with the intent of answering each question that was introduced. Developmentally Appropriate Practice is using knowledge about child development to create a program that is suitable for the age and stage of development for that group of children. At the same time, DAP program considers the needs of the individual child.

In 2009, governors and state commissioners alike came together to formulate the development and implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Through membership organizations such as the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) (http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/frequently-asked-questions/), they were able to create a system that represented a clear-cut caliber of expectations meant for students in kindergarten to grade 12. Over the past several years, new amendments have been added to keep up with the standard that 48 states have adopted into their school systems, although the adoption of the policy was voluntary (http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/frequently-asked-questions/). Despite majority of the states in the U.S. having decided on the policy already, there has been conflict amongst the parents of the children who are subject to the rigorous and exhausting amount of tests they must take to keep up with what is fixed into their school systems. The argument against test-taking is a controversy in itself as many believe

Common Core Curriculum K-12 education is constantly changing. There are a lot of things that affect k-12 education like standardized testing and technology. However, another big thing that is affecting k-12 education is the implementation of Common Core. According to a website called the Common Core States Standards Initiative "The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade.

The Common Core state standard used through this learning segment is 8.EE.A.4: Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. For this learning segment, we will only be covering the first part of the standard where students will be performing operations in scientific notation. This standard addresses conceptual understanding because students must understand the meaning of scientific notation in order to perform operations

Common Core State Standards has been one of the most important factors that have seriously contributed the better understanding of mathematics in most learning institutions in the United States, this is due to the fact that the mathematics standards have been well designed to make sure that all students from all states are well equipped with the necessary knowledge that is required for the better understanding of mathematics as a language. CCSS has also made sure that mathematics as middle school subject is not taught or understood in general standards but rather it is clear and specific in nature. Common Core States Standards also make sure that the sequence of the topics and their performances are up to date and are outline systematically in the body of mathematics standards. In terms of English Arts, things are not much different as that of the mathematics subject; this means that CCSS make sure that the standard established guidelines for the English Art are well in relation to the history or social studies, technical subjects and science subjects. These standards are particularly important in middle school level because English is the main language

The United States Common Core State Standards for Education The Common Core State Standards is a controversial subject among educators, parents and general public. What most people do not realize is state standards have been around since the 1900’S, and every state has had their own standards in the early 2000’s. Each state standard has levels or benchmarks, which state what the student should be proficient in per grade level. Most of these standards are in place for third grade through high school.

There are many reasons why it is important to use the MN Academic Standards for Mathematics when designing units and lessons. The first reason why units/lessons should utilize state standards is that the standards can assist teachers when organizing instruction throughout the school year and across grade levels as state standards outline what key ideas are necessary to be taught and also provide the sequence and/or order in which those concepts should be taught. Understanding these standards help prevent students’ from not learning a concept because of the assumptions that teachers’ may make about what students’ have already learned it or will they should learn it in higher grades. Ultimately, the students’ doesn’t learn the specific topic

Another principle of the Common Core for math is the focus on conceptual knowledge. Properties such as communitive and distributive are emphasized to help students gain a deeper understanding of the subject. These students are also expected to know all the primes and composites within the first 100 digits and to also know the products of all singular digit multiplication involving two numbers. The common core also tries to emphasize the idea of place value in third grade, while when fourth grade starts emphasizing the rationale of said place values. For example, the example 700 divided by 70 is equal to 10 is given to students to help them to understand place
