Common Core Standards
- Common Core Goals
- Literacy - Reading
- Range of Reading
- 10. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.
- Literacy - Writing
- Production and Distribution
- 6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
- Literacy - Speaking and Listening
- Comprehension and Collaboration
- 1. Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively
- 2. Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively and orally.
- Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas
- 4. Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the organization, development, and style are apporpriate to task, purpose, and audience.
- Mathematics Connections
- 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them:
- Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves and others the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.
- 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively:
- Mathematically proficient students bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships, the ability to decontextualize - to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents - and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved.
- 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others:
- Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures.
- 5. Use appropriate tools strategically:
- Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem.
- 6. Attend to precision:
- Mathematically proficient students … are careful about specifying units of measure … (and) calculate accurately and efficiently … with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context.
- 7. Look for and make use of structure:
- Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern of structure.
- 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning:
- Mathematically proficient students notice of calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts. As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results.
