Common+Core+State+Standards

__**Common Core State Standards (CCSS)**__
IMPORTANT: The Standards for Mathematical Practice located in the CCSS have big implications on instruction. There is heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding and active student interaction, mirroring Marzano's Best Practices and NCTM's Focal Points. The assessments that are being created reflect this shift and will require more problem solving on the part of the student. Detailed descriptions of the mathematical practices can be found in the CCSS sites listed below, but here is a summary:

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.
