1 Closer Reading for Deeper Comprehension : Uncommon Sense About the Common Core Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Reading Grades: Grades 6–12 Professional Commentary: In this professional resource, Carol Jago uses specific classroom examples to illustrate close reading in the classroom. She explains that the call for close reading in the Common Core ELA standards suggests that the questions teachers pose to students should focus first on what a text says before asking what it means and why it matters.... 2 Common Core State Standards: Mathematics Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades K–12 Professional Commentary: The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) provide a coherent and focused outline of mathematical content aimed at the development and future success of American students. As a mission, the standards aim to "provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do... 3 Progressions for the Common Core in Mathematics: High School Algebra Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades 9–12 Professional Commentary: The Common Core State Standards in mathematics were built on progressions: narrative documents describing the progression of a topic across a number of grade levels, informed both by research on children's cognitive development and by the logical structure of mathematics. Learning progressions can explain why standards are sequenced the way they are, point out cognitive difficulties... 4 Progressions for the Common Core in Mathematics: K-6 Geometry Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades K–6 Professional Commentary: Like core knowledge of number, core geometrical knowledge appears to be a universal capability of the human mind. Geometric and spatial thinking are important in and of themselves, because they connect mathematics with the physical world, and play an important role in modeling phenomena whose origins are not necessarily physical, for example, as networks or graphs.... 5 Progressions for the Common Core in Mathematics: High School Functions Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades 8–12 Professional Commentary: Functions describe situations in which one quantity is determined by another. The area of a circle, for example, is a function of its radius.... 6 Emphases in Common Core Standards for Mathematical Content: K-8 Mathematics Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades K–8 Professional Commentary: This document describes content emphases in the standards at the cluster level for each grade, K-8. These are provided because curriculum, instruction and assessment at each grade must reflect the focus and emphasis of the standards.... 7 Emphases in Common Core Standards for Mathematical Content: K-12 Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Grades K–12 Professional Commentary: Describes content emphases in the standards at the cluster level for each grade, K-12. These are provided because curriculum, instruction and assessment at each grade must reflect the focus and emphasis of the standards.... 8 Model Curriculum for Mathematics: Kindergarten Resource Type: Professional Resources Discipline: Mathematics Grades: Kindergarten Professional Commentary: The Ohio Department of Education (ODE), along with Ohio educators, has written and released the Kindergarten Model Curriculum.
