HLPUSD Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Parent Meeting
- 1. Hacienda La Puente Unified School District An Introduction to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics What they mean for you and your children
- 3. Today’s Objectives • Understand what college and career readiness is and why it matters • Overview of the new mathematics standards • Introduction to high school integrated mathematics • New testing • What can you do as a parent to help your child be successful in mathematics
- 4. What do we mean by implementing the Common Core? • 44 states have signed and adopted the new Common Core Standards. • California is planning full implementation of the Common Core Standards by 2015.
- 5. “fully implemented?” • Current first graders will be the first class to be fully immersed in common core by the time they graduate high school. • Everyone else will experience a hybrid of common core and previously implemented mathematics. You have experienced about 7.692% Common Core!
- 6. College and Career Readiness • The new standards will get students ready for success in college and the workforce. …but what does that mean?
- 7. College Readiness • “College” doesn’t just mean an undergraduate degree. It can mean any program that leads to any degree or certificate. • College readiness means that high school graduates will finally have specific and college board recommended skills needed to succeed in their freshman year and beyond.
- 8. Career Readiness • “Career” doesn’t just mean having a job. It means working in a profession that allows them to earn a competitive wage. • Career readiness means that high school graduates are also mentally prepared to succeed in a long-term career.
- 9. What are the Common Core Standards? • A single set of standards adopted nation- wide for English language arts and mathematics • A guide to help students and parents set clear and realistic goals for success • A first step in providing young people with the education necessary to prepare them for success in college and careers
- 10. The new standards will… •Ensure that every child in the nation is held to the same high standards and learns the same material, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or zip code
- 11. Implementation Summary 2013-2014 • Common Core Instruction in grades K-1 • Begin implementation of Common Core Instruction in grades 2-12 2014-2015 • Full Common Core Instruction in grades K-12 • Begin Common Core Instruction of Integrated I 2015-2016 • Continue Common Core Instruction of Integrated I • Begin Common Core Instruction of Integrated II and III 2016-2017 • Continue full Common Core Instruction of grades K-12
- 12. Two Types of Mathematics Standards • Ratios and Proportional Relationships-Analyze relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. • The Number System-Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. • Expressions and Equations-Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. • Geometry-Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. • Statistics and Probability-Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population. Content Standards
- 13. Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
- 14. Highlights of Major Work in Grades K-8 K-2 Addition and subtraction-concepts, skills, and problem solving; place value 3-5 Multiplication and division of whole numbers and fractions-concepts, skills, and problem solving 6 Ratios and proportional relationships; early expressions and equations 7 Ratios and proportional relationships; arithmetic of rational numbers 8 Linear algebra and linear functions; geometry

- 16. New Testing • Star Report is being replaced by CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) • SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) tests are administered in grades 3-8 and 11 in English language arts and math aligned to the Common Core State Standards • Computerized testing begins in the 2014-2015 school year • Uses computer-adaptive technology to tailor questions based on student ability • Results are delivered faster with greater security
- 17. Test Questions Include… • Multiple Choice (Selected-response) • Short Answer (Constructed-response) • Answer with Justification (Extended-response) • Using Computer Calculator (Technology-enhanced) • Real Life Question in Multiple Parts (Performance task) Go to www.hlpschools.org and click on California Common Core Standards (CCSS) under Featured Web Pages to find the Practice Tests link.
- 18. Short Answer - Grade 8
- 19. Sample Question – Grade 5 X
- 20. How can you help your child in math? • Know that the struggle is okay; it takes time to learn things • Praise the process • Children need to take responsibility for their own learning and their own struggle • Guide children to resources that can help (textbooks, notes, etc.) • Value math homework-encourage children to do more than just “get it done” • Expand the focus beyond the grade • Resist the very common temptation to explain the struggle as genetic
- 21. Partners in your child’s future • Hacienda La Puente Unified School District is committed to ensure your child being successful in Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
