\nalso
\n
\n"The courses designed using the Living Environment Core Curriculum are expected to prepare students to explain, both accurately and with appropriate depth, the most important
\nideas about our living environment."
\n
\nStandard 1
\n
\nStudents will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
\n
\nKey Idea 1
\nThe central purpose of scientific inquiry is to develop explanations of natural phenomena in a continuing and creative process.
\n
\nKey Idea 2
\nBeyond the use of reasoning and consensus, scientific inquiry involves the testing of proposed explanations involving the use of conventional techniques and procedures and usually requiring considerable ingenuity.
\n
\nKey Idea 3
\nThe observations made while testing proposed explanations, when analyzed using conventional and invented methods, provide new insights into natural phenomena.
\n
\nStandard 4
\n
\nStudents will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science.
\n
\nKey Idea 1
\nLiving things are both similar to and different from each other and from nonliving things.
\n
\nKey Idea 2
\nOrganisms inherit genetic information in a variety of ways that result in continuity of structure and function between parents and offspring.
\n
\nKey Idea 3
\nIndividual organisms and species change over time.
\n
\nKey Idea 4
\nThe continuity of life is sustained through reproduction and development.
\n
\nKey Idea 5
\nOrganisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium that sustains life.
\n
\nKey Idea 6
\nPlants and animals depend on each other and their physical environment.
\n
\nKey Idea 7
\nHuman decisions and activities have had a profound impact on the physical and living environment.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39812196","dateCreated":"1306954951","smartDate":"Jun 1, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"aba03460","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/aba03460","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/gmstassessment.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39812196"},"dateDigested":1531977997,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Mathematics Common Core Learning Standards","description":"I really like how the common core standards are laid out.

\n
\nProblem solving, students find solutions and use manipulative
\nReasoning and proof, students explore and investigate
\nCommunication, students organize their thought process and listen to classmates
\nConnections, students learn the importance of learning math at a young age. They related math to things in their daily lives and find math useful.
\nRepresentation, students communicate ideas
\n
\nThe other 5 strands are content strands thar kindergartners are expected to learning. They are..
\n
\nNumber sense and operations, algebra, geometry, measurements, statistics and probability.
\n
\nAfter reading about the core curriculum for Kindergarden in mathematics you realize how much pressure is on kindergartners to succeed at such a young age.

\n"Students learn effectively when they are actively engaged in the discovery process."

It is actually mentioned a few times in the Common Core Standards for Mathematics overview. The "why" of mathematics is the most important part and it seems as though we are heading in the right direction with these new standards. Some examples of the
\n"why" of mathematics are as follows (seen in the Standards for Mathematical Practice section):
\n-Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
\n-Model with mathematics.
\n-attend to precision
\n-Look for and make use of structure.
\n
\nThese are only a few of the many examples seen throughout the descriptions of the common core standards. I am looking forward to teaching these concepts in the near future, because these standards align with my philosophy of teaching as well as the teaching practices I have been taught at St. John Fisher College.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"39773310","body":"It is also nice to see some organization with the common core math standards.

\n-Operations and Algebraic thinking
\n-Number and Operations in Base Ten\/Fractions
\n-Measurement and Data
\n-Geometry
\nIn the intermediate grades (6-8):
\n-Ratios and Proportional Relationships
\n-The Number System
\n-Expressions and Equations
\n-Geometry
\n-Functions (8th)
\n-Statistics and Probability
\nThe high school standards are more in depth but still use the same topics to specify the standards.

\nIt is easier to follow these standards and it seems as though all the grade levels are on the same page.

\nUnderstand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
\n
\n * K.OA.1. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings1, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
\n
\n * K.OA.2. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
\n
\n * K.OA.3. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
