Connecticut Core Standards for Mathematics Module 2 K-5: Focus on Content Standards
In Module 2, Connecticut educators explore the Standards for Mathematical Content and their implications for curriculum and instruction. Participants will become familiar with the structure, language, and intention of the content standards and will analyze problems and lessons, and learn to create tasks that exemplify faithful implementation of the Connecticut Core Standards for Mathematics (CCS-Math). Participants will consider strategies for making necessary changes in what and how mathematics is taught.
About This Course
Key messages include:
The Standards for Mathematical Content are not just a new list of topics. They go hand in hand with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
When implemented together, the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the Standards for Mathematical Content bring new rigor to the mathematics we teach and that we expect students to learn.
Teaching the CCS-Math will require fundamental changes in teaching practice.
The process of changing to a CCS-aligned curriculum is complex because it involves considerable attention not only to the standards but to curriculum materials, instruction, assessment, and professional learning. Therefore, full implementation of the CCS-Math will require all professionals in the schools to collaborate intensively over time.
