Description

Ramp up your effort to implement the Common Core State Standards in both math and English language arts in grades 3–5. This Quick-Start Guide explains how the standards lay the foundation for successful schooling and provide a bridge from foundational concepts taught in elementary school to the more complex studies students will undertake in middle school. Circulating copies of the guide among all staff members will ensure they have the information they need to

• Understand the structure, terminology, and emphases of the Common Core standards.
• Know how learning in each mathematics domain and English language arts strand, at every grade level, supports learning in other areas of the Common Core standards.
• Connect the mathematics content standards and practice standards across grade levels to build on prior learning, deepen conceptual understanding, promote real-world application, and prepare students for middle school level work.

Included is a lesson planning process, based on Classroom Instruction That Works, 2nd Edition, with six sample lessons—three for each subject at each of the covered grade levels.
