I may not be the best at mathmatics, however, I could remember as a kid how I struggled with learning math. I remembered so many rules and number by linking them to the alphabet placement or the way it rhymed. When I tried my hand at this Common Core application, I felt like this made more sense. It made me feel like their was more than just one way to get to my answer.

Overview

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important "processes and proficiencies" with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Council's report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one's own efficacy).

Common Core has certainly raised some questions -- from what assessment will look like, to curriculum development and how the standards are in practice. There are others, I'm sure.

But currently, education nonprofits and researchers are developing materials to help educators, parents and students understand them. With that in mind, here are some of the best resources for understanding how Common Core will shift high school math classrooms, with example videos, articles about assessment and lists of tech tools for educators.

21 Common Core-aligned Math Apps: Are you looking for some useful tools to be used for Common Core math? Well, this TeachThought.com post highlights some great, mostly free apps that can be used in high school math classes. All of the examples are featured on edshelf, a website that provides parent/educator reviews of tech tools. The only catch: Most of the apps were designed for Apple devices.

Common Core Resources from Illustrated Mathematics: This video series from Illustrated Mathematics offers in-depth, real-life examples of the processes and proficiencies of Common Core math. In each video, students work through math problems and display Common Core proficiencies. It's certainly interesting, and they'll be useful for teachers who are using Common Core in the classroom. There's also a user-friendly menu of five high school math categories, with quick drop-down menus for the domains of each category.

Common Core Overviews from Shmoop.com: The CCSS are laborious to read, but here, Shmoop.com turns them on their head, providing a witty look at the high school math standards. These are engaging to read, and they cover all six math standards. If you have some time, they're definitely worth a read. Also included are some useful practice quizzes that will provide ideas for assessment strategies.

Common Core Proficiencies From Inside Mathematics: What does the Common Core look like in the classroom? This great video series from Inside Mathematics offers a definitive look at practice standards for each grade. Not to mention, the videos also offer a examples of the each proficiency in the context of lessons. On the site, you'll also find links to useful classroom tools for the Common Core.

Common Core High School Math Lessons from LearnZillion: This user-friendly site offers lessons aligned with various standards. You can browse based on category, then choose lessons based on a proficiency. Another great site -- OER Commons -- also features a wealth of CCSS math resources for high school educators.

In a recent article written by the New York Post Staff, Kirk Schneider is featured in their "In the Classroom" Segment:

Kirk Schneider, Geometry teacher, Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology, Manhattan

In my 10th-grade Geometry class, I’m most focused on two standards for mathematical practice within the Common Core guidelines: making sense of problems and persevering in solving them, and constructing strong mathematical arguments while critiquing the reasoning and arguments of others.
In my classroom, students spend a lot of time working and discussing problems together in small groups. Great geometry learning isn’t “drill and memorize.” When students work and discuss in small groups, they’re fulfilling both key standards: they’re solving problems, and they’re doing that by constructing arguments (and convincing their peers) based on logic and mathematical concepts. As they prove theorems about lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms, they’re not just learning math. The discussion builds on skills that they’re learning in social studies, English, and other subject areas — developing a claim and providing evidence.
-Kirk Schneider

Common Core's goal is to bring everybody on to the same page, but that doesn't just mean from different states. Schneider's class utilizes their prior knowledge to construct thoughtful discussions and reasons rather then memorization.

Andy Keirsz and Pamela Engel from Business Insider speak on the subject of Common core math, and shed light on the positive outcomes of the children of today.

In short, the new methods for addition and multiplication — namely, the use of number lines and multiplication boxes — are meant to promote a stronger conceptual understanding of math, rather than techniques for getting an answer on paper.

For example, schools in North Carolina are practicing the common core math applications.

The Common Core's approach to math has proved among the most contentious aspects of the controversial national teaching standards.

In short, the new methods for addition and multiplication - namely, the use of number lines and multiplication boxes - are meant to promote a stronger conceptual understanding of math, rather than techniques for getting an answer on paper.

While this method supports the Common Core's goal of putting more of an emphasis on critical thinking, it can be a headache for parents who grew up on rote learning and were taught completely different ways of doing math. On occasion, these methods may seem overly complicated.

How do these principles look in action?

Here's an example, from a guide for teachers on the website of the North Carolina public school system, of a problem using a number line to add together two three-digit numbers:

North Carolina Public Schools

The idea is to break the problem into smaller parts based on place value and to provide a visual reference for thinking about operations. Here, we're adding 178 and 225, so we start at 178, add 200 to get 378, then 20 to get 398, then 5 to get to our answer of 403. Breaking the problem up into these parts is intended to reinforce students' understanding of underlying concepts of place value.

Though well-intended, this method leads at times to rather complicated approaches to problems. For instance, the following example of the "counting-up subtraction method" as recently featured on Red State editor-in-chief Erick Erickson's blog. This question is from his daughter's third-grade math textbook:

With this method, rather than the standard "carry-the-1" approach, students are taught to see subtraction as a way of establishing the distance between two numbers. And the easiest way to do that is to establish the distance between various signposts, as with the number line.

The teaching standards also encourage the use of "number sentences" to understand mathematical relationships. For instance:

A number sentence is another way of saying "equation." For the above problem, we see that the unknown quantity, to be represented by a box, is the sum of the 17 blue cars and 25 green cars, so the answer would be something like 17 + 25 = [grey box]. Equations like this really are read out as sentences relating two quantities to each other, leading to the term number sentence.

Multiplication has changed, too. Teachers are now touting the "box method":

The box method better illustrates what's going on in a multiple-digit multiplication problem, making students understand that 23 times 7 is just the sum of 20 times 7 and 3 times 7. This place value breakdown is also the basis of the standard method, but box multiplication makes it more explicit.

With different grade levels, common core has a different affect that prepares the student for the next grade level. In mathematics and any other subject, there is a certain way to read the standards based on the grade level, type of standard, and if the standard relates to each other.
Featured below is an example of how to read the standards for each grade. (You can access more information on their website at corestandards.org)

The problems that are included in some of the common core standards include a series of addition and subtraction problems that have been reassure the students' comprehension of place value. The "Counting-up Subraction Method" demostrates this very problem. By counting up the number sequence to subtract, students are able to further understand and remember the place values of two or more digit numbers.
