by Timothy D. Kanold (editor)

Finalist--ForeWord Reviews 2012 Book of the Year Award How do you help your students demonstrate mathematical proficiency toward the learning expectations of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? This teacher guide illustrates how to sustain successful implementation of the CCSS for mathematics for grades 3-5. Discover what students should learn and how they should learn it at each grade level, including deep support for the unique work for Number & Operations--Fractions in grades 3-5 and learning progression models that capstone expectations for middle school mathematics readiness. Comprehensive and research-affirmed analysis tools and strategies will help you and your collaborative team develop and assess student demonstrations of deep conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. You'll also learn how fundamental shifts in collaboration, instruction, curriculum, assessment, and intervention can increase college and career readiness in every one of your students. Benefits - Discover the five essential paradigm shifts necessary to implement the CCSS for mathematics.- Receive guidance on forming and sustaining collaborative teams in a Professional Learning Community at Work culture.- Develop a 'less is more' content fewer standards will result in the opportunity of time needed for deeper rigor and conceptual understanding work with students.- Gain helpful formative assessment strategies for development of student proficiency in the Standards for Mathematical Practice.- Access dozens of tools, activities, examples, resources, and reproducibles to help teachers and teams analyze, interpret, and implement the common core standard expectations for instruction and assessment.- Examine the research-affirmed foundation of mathematics content and process standards from 1989 to 2010 and deepen your understanding of the common core expectations.

This is very helpful for any math PLC. You should have knowledge of what PLCs are before reading this. I really liked how the authors broke down the 8 Mathematical Practices and the focal points for grades 3-5.

This is a well organized book for schools to use when implementing common core mathematics in a PLC at their school. I'm not going to read this book since my state has dropped common core testing and is working on creating their own standards.

This book is an overview of what the new CCSS for math look like. There's Lots of good info and ideas I can take back to my team. It was a relatively quick read which I appreciated. Worth the read.
