Common Core Standards
Washington State has adopted the Common Core State Standards. However, students will continue to be assessed based on the 2008 Washington State Mathematics Standards until the 2014-2015 school year.Below is a list of links and resources that I have found useful in helping Seattle Public School teachers prepare for this transition.
Common Core Standards
2008 Washington State Mathematics Standards
- K-8 Washington Mathematics Standards
- OSPI links to K-8 Strand Documents
Similar to the "K-5 trajectory" documents for the Common Core (linked above), the "strand" documents show the developmental progression of each math strand across the grade levels.
Transitioning from WA Standards to the Common Core
- OSPI links to Transition Documents by Grade Level
These helpful documents show a side-by-side comparison of the 2008 WA Standards and the Common Core - OSPI document outlining the recommended
3-Year Transition Plan for Mathematics showing
K-2, 3-5, 6-8 plans. - OSPI document about Students with Disabilities and the Common Core
Seattle Public Schools--Everyday Mathematics
- Everyday Mathematics and Common Core Alignment
- Everyday Mathematics Games/Skills
Correlation Chart, Grades K-3 - Everyday Mathematics Games/Skills
Correlation Chart, Grades 4-6 - Everyday Mathematics Resource Center,
University of Chicago - SPS Elementary Mathematics Website links to Everyday Mathematics resources for families and brief summaries of math standards
- Everyday Mathematics On-Line
Additional Resources
- XtraMath
This is a free, on-line math fact practice website with tools (graphs, fact mastery grids, calendars, and email reports) to help students, teachers and parents track progress. - Developmental Learning Trajectories, Primary Grades
This helpful outline shows how children naturally develop math concepts from ages 1-8.
