Common Core Standards with Sandra Alberti. In April 2013, Advance Illinois co-sponsored a series of presentations by Dr.
Sandra Alberti of Student Achievement Partners on the Common Core State Standards now in Illinois classrooms. In three separate events, Ms. Alberti spoke to educators, parents and Illinois legislators, addressing how these learning standards were created, how they are different, and what they mean for our students in our state.

The elementary classroom video Deborah showed during the "Learning to Teach the Common Core" discussion is an excellent example of problem-centered teaching and of employing the "mathematical practices" described in the Common Core Standards. But I don't think the eight "practices" are laid out in the Core Standards in a way that normal teachers (folks like me, who don't have the natural talent of a Deborah Ball or Maggie Lampert) can implement. Worse, because there is not a coherent progression for students to learn mathematical practices across K-12, even students with gifted teachers like Deborah are likely to view mathematical practices as something to be done "in Ms.
Ball's class" and not applied elsewhere or in later grades. "1. And "2. GRADE 1"Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.1. Relate addition and subtraction to length.5. COURSE MATERIAL - Mr. Sokolowski. General Mathematical Practices Emphasized in GeometryUse a variety of problem-solving strategies, such as drawing a diagram, making a chart, guess-and-check, solving a simpler problem, writing an equation, and working backwards.
(MP-1)Make conjectures about geometric ideas. (MP.02)Distinguish between information that supports a conjecture and the proof of a conjecture. UCSMP. Presentation by Zalman Usiskin The University of Chicago at Teachers College, Columbia University, 26 Sep 2011 I would like to start with a true story – one of my favorite mathematical modeling stories.
I call it "Mitchell's Golf Problem" after my first cousin Mitchell, who posed it to me on May 15, 1970. In the afternoon of that day, I had learned that my mother died. At the time I was in my first year on the faculty of the University of Chicago and living on the far south side of Chicago. My parents lived on the north side about 45 minutes away. He said, "I golf with a group of 40 men every Saturday. Mitchell is no dummy. As soon as I had some free time, I went at the problem.
Here were my foursomes for the first week. To make a long story short – though if you want, during the question period I will tell you the longer story – I was unable to find a solution in 13 weeks. The Modeling Process Mitchell's Golf Problem exemplifies the modeling process. We Model All the Time! Math Common Core Coalition. Home.
High School (Seeing Structure in a Quadratic Equation) Are new online standardized tests revolutionary? Decide for yourself. New high-tech standardized tests are coming soon to schools across the country, but will these new tests really revolutionize how we measure whether children are learning?
The designers of the new tests, which a majority of states plan to adopt in two years, are allowing a sneak peek at sample questions, so you can decide for yourself. Two competing state coalitions have taken on the job of designing the new tests, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, and both have posted examples of what’s coming on their websites. In some questions, which the test designers have called “computer enhanced,” students will be asked to drag words or numbers across the screen, or to highlight phrases or sentences in a reading passage. MVP - Mathematics Vision Project (MVP) Common Core State Standards Demonstrators (CCSS Sample Assessment Items) Common Core: 7 Recommendations for Effective Implementation.
Policy | Research Common Core: 7 Recommendations for Effective Implementation Conflicting reform efforts, poor communications, and "initiative fatigue" are among the factors presenting challenges to Common Core State Standards implementation.
In order to overcome these potential barriers, states, districts, and schools need to take new approaches to professional development, technology adoption, and reform efforts, according to a new report released Thursday by ASCD. The report, "Fulfilling the Promise of the Common Core State Standards: Moving from Adoption to Implementation to Sustainability," identified challenges and best practices for Common Core implementation and offered recommendations for easing the transition from state to common standards.
It was funded through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Aside from issues related to rapid adoption of the standards, the report identified several other challenges affecting implementation:
