Transitioning to the CCSS with support of NCSM's
"Great Tasks" for Mathematics


Presented by:
Suzanne Mitchell, NCSM President
Connie Schrock, Professor of Mathematics at Empora State University

Sponsored by: Carnegie Learning, Inc.

Replay the webinar (length: 60 minutes)

Slides

This webinar shares the requirements created for a mathematics activity to be considered a GREAT TASK and how to utilize Great Tasks to raise student achievement in math. The session continues by sharing some GREAT TASKS soon to be published in NCSM's new books for mathematics leaders. The tasks include launch activities as well as student work. The mathematical practices will be emphasized with multiple ways for students to demonstrate their understanding of the mathematics content and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics: The CCSS Curriculum Materials Analysis Tools

Presented by:
Diane Briars, NCSM Past President
Suzanne Mitchell, NCSM President

Sponsored by: Carnegie Learning, Inc.

Replay the webinar (length: 56 minutes)

Slides

This webinar provides an overview of Curriculum Materials Analysis Tools recently developed by a committee led by Bill Bush at the University of Louisville. The set of three tools can assist textbook selection committees, school administrators, and K-12 teachers in the selection of curriculum materials that support implementation of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. The tools are designed to provide educators with objective measures and information to guide their selection of mathematics curriculum materials based on evidence of the materials' alignment with the CCSSM including the Standards for Mathematical Practice, grade level content, equity, technology, and assessment.
