Common Core State Standards - Vision

• The Common Core State Standards provide a
  consistent, clear understanding of what students
  are expected to learn in ELA and Math, so
  teachers and parents know what they need to do to
  help them.
• The standards are designed to be robust and
  relevant to the real world, and to reflect the
  knowledge and skills that 21st century youth will
  need for success in college and careers.
• With all students academically prepared for the
  future, our state and our nation will be best
  positioned to compete successfully in the global
  economy.

Mathematics Key Ideas

• Balanced combination of procedural skill and
  understanding
• Requires students to explain and justify
  rather than define and identify
• Standards for Mathematical Practice
• Content focus at each grade allows in-depth study
  
• Standards for Mathematical Content
• K-8 standards by grade level
• High school standards by conceptual theme

  probability and statistics
• High School
• Emphasis on applying math to solve problems
  arising in every day life, society, and the
  workplace
