Common Core is the national education objectives that are currently in many states*. (See which ones here). I have discussed What is Common Core? How will it affect my child? and What can I do to prepare my child for Common Core? I have also posted sample test questions for the assessment. In this part of the Common Core series, I am answering the question: What does my child need to know for Common Core?

Each grade level has certain things they need to know at that grade level in math and English Language Arts/Literacy. States began this test in the 2014-2015 school year. Below you will find kid friendly versions of these objectives in English Language Arts/Literacy for middle school and high school.

Review the Rubric with Students

Most teachers use rubrics to score student responses to open-ended questions. Make sure students understand the rubric so that they know exactly what they must provide to get the best score. Teachers use a variety of strategies to provide this training:

Student Scoring: Save student responses from previous years. Show a sample response on the overhead (without student name) and ask small groups to decide what score the response would get and why. Lead a discussion about what is missing from the response and have students suggest what might be added to get the highest score.

Peer Editing: Pair students to read each other's response, assign a rubric score and make suggestions or comments.

Write-On Bulletin Board: Regularly display student work that exemplifies the best response to open-ended questions. Try to include different strategies for organizing information (table, graph, list, drawing, factor tree, etc.) so that students consistently see proof that there are MANY right ways to respond.

Use the Writing Process Approach

Students are accustomed to editing their first drafts in language arts, reworking their writing to craft a better response. Regularly include these practices in math class. After writing, students should use the rubric to examine their response and annotate, clarify or reorganize, as needed, to craft a tight response. Students should be encouraged to use words, pictures and/or numbers to capture their thinking process in these open-ended questions. They must also understand that there are many different ways to achieve a perfect score as long as they accurately show their thinking toward a correct answer.

Math Portfolios: Keep folders of students' open-ended problem solving with first draft, revised draft and annotated rubric attached.

Remember to...Checklist: Have students generate a list of things (in their own words) that they should check before deciding their open-ended response is complete. Add more items, based on student performance or assessed weaknesses -- e.g. label all graphs, write the unit (centimeter, inch, packages, etc.)

Math Word Wall: Encourage students to check that they have used the best math words and that they have spelled them correctly.

Writing Conferences: Conference with students to review their responses and provide detailed feedback on what they did correctly and/or how they might improve their response, as per the rubric.

Provide Independent Practice

Shamrock Paths challenges students to use Pascal's Triangle to figure out how many different ways there are to spell Shamrock. Included in the PDF file are an explanation of how this problem relates to Pascal's Triangle and the numerical solution to the challenge.

Shamrock Patterns requires students to rotate shamrocks to complete the pattern. Download some copies of Extra Shamrocks for students to cut apart and glue on to complete the patterns.

Top of the Morning challenges students to identify the 100th and 1000th letter that will be printed on the electronic signboard.

Featured Data Collection Activity: Cereal Toy Investigation

Strategy of the Month: Organizing Data

There are many different ways to organize data: graphs (bar, line, circle, glyph, etc.), line plot, stem-and-leaf plot, table, list, picture, etc. Be sure to meaningfully plan opportunities for students to use these different methods in problem-solving exercises. As part of class discussion, display different student responses on the overhead or whiteboard, commenting on how one student used a table and another used a graph, etc. At times, teachers might encourage students to use a table or draw a graph, etc. so that they demonstrate proficiency in using the different approaches.

Tip of the Month: Have Students Write Original Math Problems

Students use higher-order thinking skills when they write original problems similar to those they have done in class. Have students proof and solve each other's problems before publishing them on the computer, along with the author's name and the date. These problems may be used as do-nows, homework assignments, or placed in the math center. Teachers who regularly include student writing find that students are highly motivated to solve problems created by their peers AND teachers develop a larger bank of appropriate word problems over time.
