UCSMP’s instructionalmaterials, classroom research, international conferences, and teacherdevelopment efforts help teachers better prepare all students for college andcareer. UCSMP’s elementary curriculum, Everyday Mathematics, provides thetools elementary school teachers need to meet this long-term goal.The Common Core also aims to improve school mathematics on a broad scale.The Common Core is at the center of a nationwide effort to prepare allstudents for college and career, an effort that aims at systemic coherenceacross instructional materials, teacher development, and assessment.The goals of Everyday Mathematics and the Common Core are thus closelyaligned. Both aim at developing all students’ mathematical power—their abilityto reason, communicate, and solve problems. Both also aim at fosteringproductive dispositions in students—a belief that mathematics is worthwhile,an inclination to use the mathematics they know to solve problems they face,and confidence in their own mathematical abilities.Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 1Program: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6127/05/15 4:47 pmPDF Pass

For this edition, Everyday Mathematics has been rebuilt from the ground up tohelp teachers teach to the Common Core. The authors coupled theirexperience developing quality research-based curriculum with a deepunderstanding of the Common Core’s standards in order to unpack them forteachers and students and create useful and effective instructional materials.The Common Core includes two types of standards: Standards forMathematical Content and Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP). Thecontent standards specify procedures, concepts, and applications thatstudents are to master at each grade. The practice standards describe howstudents should approach the content specified in the content standard. Thepractice standards are the processes and habits of mind students need todevelop as they learn the content standards.1.1 The Content Standards2.NBT.2The Common Core’s content standards are intended to bring greater focus,coherence, and rigor to school mathematics so that students develop deepknowledge of useful mathematics.1.1.1 RigorThe Publishers’ Criteria, a companion document to the Common Core StateStandards, defines rigor as the pursuit, with equal intensity, of conceptualunderstanding, procedural skill and fluency, and applications (NationalGovernors Association [NGA] Center for Best Practices & Council of ChiefState School Officers [CCSSO], 2013, p. 3). Defining rigor as balance acrossskills, concepts, and applications is a significant strength of the Common Coreand a great fit with Everyday Mathematics.Section 1Procedural skill is important for many reasons. Knowing an efficient procedureaffords mathematical power, making it possible to solve a whole class ofproblems with a single method. Fluency with a procedure makes it possible toexecute it automatically, which frees up cognitive capacity for higher-levelthinking. And knowing a procedure well makes it possible to connect thatprocedure with other procedures and with related concepts in robustnetworks of interconnected knowledge that support durable learning anddepth of knowledge.Conceptual understanding is equally important. Students need to understandnot only how but why. Procedural skill without understanding is inflexible andunreliable, limited in scope and utility. Understanding concepts and how theyconnect to other concepts and procedures is essential to developing deeperunderstandings and more advanced procedural skills.Copyright McGraw-Hill Education.

For example, SBAC calls for tasks to assess the rigor of thestandards by assessing conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency,and applications.This mutual dependence of conceptual understanding and procedural skill hasbeen widely recognized for many decades. What has not been so widelyrecognized is that applying mathematics is equally important. Much of themathematics people learn in school languishes unused, gradually fading2Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 227/05/15 4:47 pmProgram: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6PDF Pass

from memory. Few people leave school appreciating the incredible utilityof mathematics for solving problems. Among the many reasons for teachingmathematics, perhaps the most important is its utility, its effectivenessfor modeling the world and solving problems. Knowing concepts andprocedures is of little value if that knowledge cannot be put to use.Balancing these three aspects of rigor—procedural skill, conceptualunderstanding, and applications—has always been fundamental toEveryday Mathematics.1.1.2 FocusAnother key feature of the Common Core is its call for a more focusedcurriculum, a curriculum that is narrower so that it can be deeper. Thisnarrowing of the curriculum addresses a dilemma in school mathematics:There is too much worth teaching.There were problems with the new, broader curriculum, however, the mostimportant of which was time. Even with an hour or more of mathematicsinstruction per day, there is not enough time to teach both traditional topicsand the new topics well. Rather than deep and usable knowledge of a broadrange of elementary mathematics, students could develop superficial andrelatively useless knowledge of that mathematics.Section 1Copyright McGraw-Hill Education. Permission is granted to reproduce for classroom use.Decades of research and development in mathematics education haveestablished that children can learn a great deal of mathematics far earlier thanhas traditionally been thought. Indeed, the 1989 curriculum and evaluationstandards from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics—thestandards that ignited the entire standards movement of the past 25 years—called for a significant broadening of the school mathematics curriculum.Topics such as geometry, statistics, and probability were to be taught at earliergrades than ever before—and the evidence showed that children could indeedlearn that mathematics.This is the problem that the Common Core’s call for focus is meant to solve.By narrowing the range of mathematics to be taught, teachers will have moretime to develop deeper, more durable, and more usable knowledge in theirstudents. In the Common Core, for example, there is no longer a rush formastery of traditional paper-and-pencil algorithms for basic arithmeticoperations. The Common Core expectations for those algorithms are laterthan has been traditional, so that more time can be devoted to students’explorations of diverse strategies based on place value and the principles ofthe operations. By narrowing the range of mathematics to be taught, moreattention can also be devoted to applications and mathematical practices.This edition of Everyday Mathematics achieves focus by adhering closelyto the Common Core’s content standards. As the Publishers’ Criteria notes,focus means focusing on the content standards at each grade (NGA & CCSSO,2013, p. 3). By any measure, Everyday Mathematics achieves such focus. Everyactivity, every problem, in Everyday Mathematics is tightly connected to thecontent standards, as is shown with the Spiral Tracker, an online tool thatprovides detailed information about Everyday Mathematics and the CommonCore. Go Online to Spiral Tracker.For more information,see Section 2.2.1 The Spiral:How Everyday MathematicsDistributes Learning.Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 3Program: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6328/05/15 10:41 amPDF Pass

For more information,see Section 2.2 Design ofEveryday Mathematics.Note that focus refers to the content to be taught, not how that content is tobe taught. For example, a spiraling curriculum such as Everyday Mathematicscan be intensely focused by returning again and again to key grade-levelcontent through distributed exposures and practice, which has been showneffective by decades of research. Focus does not mean three weeks on onetopic, followed by three weeks on another topic, and so on. Research indicatesthat such an approach is not effective for long-term learning and retention.Nor is such an approach what the Common Core requires.1.1.3 CoherenceThe third key idea in the Common Core’s content standards is coherence, thesystematic arrangement of content in research-based learning progressionsand the weaving together of progressions for different topics in ways that aremutually supportive.One difficulty with such an approach, of course, is that research-basedlearning trajectories for all topics in the Common Core do not exist. The logicalstructure of the mathematics to be learned is clear enough, but thepsychological details of how children’s learning develops over time are notentirely clear. The Common Core writers and curriculum developers need tofill in gaps in learning trajectories suggested by research and resolvecontradictions among different research results. A great deal of professionaljudgment and design skill is required.Section 11.1.4 Depth of KnowledgeThe Common Core’s calls for greater focus, coherence, and rigor in schoolmathematics all aim at promoting greater depth of knowledge. The idea ofdepth of knowledge was not invented at the University of Chicago, but the firstmodern, organized attempt to devise a hierarchy of learning objectives wascarried out there by Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues in the 1950s. Bloom’sTaxonomy of Educational Objectives (1956) organized cognitive behaviors insix levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, andevaluation. In the decades since Bloom’s original classification, a number ofrefinements and alternative formulations have been proposed. Among themost widely cited hierarchy in recent years has been Norman Webb’s (1999,2002) depth of knowledge scheme, which organizes mathematical knowledgeinto four levels: (1) recall, (2) skill/concept, (3) strategic thinking, and(4) extended thinking. SBAC uses a Cognitive Rigor Matrix that integrates theBloom and Webb models in their design of assessment items and tasks(Hess, Carlock, Jones, & Walkup, 2009; SBAC, 2012a).Copyright McGraw-Hill Education.

One cannot build an effective learning trajectory without testing itany more than one can build an effective automobile without testing it. TheCommon Core provides standards and constraints, but only carefulengineering work, which the Everyday Mathematics authors have done fordecades, can yield instructional materials that will work. The careful, researchbased, and field-tested arrangement of learning goals and activities has longbeen a hallmark of Everyday Mathematics.Such hierarchies are founded on the beliefs that some sorts of knowledge aremore basic than others and that mastering lower-level knowledge is necessary4Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 428/05/15 10:41 amProgram: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6PDF Pass

but not sufficient for mastering higher-level knowledge. The Common Core iswell aligned with such thinking. Rigor comprises the full range of content, fromfacts, procedures, and concepts to applications and non-routine problemsolving. Focus, the Common Core’s narrowing of the curriculum, is explicitlyintended to allow time to reach deeper levels of knowledge. And the coherenceof well-articulated learning trajectories is intended to lead students to everdeeper knowledge of unifying ideas in mathematics.Everyday Mathematics also aims to go deep—and not only through the focus,coherence, and rigor the Common Core requires. One key advantage of theEveryday Mathematics spiral design is that students develop depth of knowledgeby repeatedly returning to topics over time, making connections and going deeperwith each return. Depth of knowledge is not something that can be developed allat once. Developing deep knowledge requires repeated exposure to key ideas indifferent contexts and across months or years of time, repeated exposures that aspiral curriculum such as Everyday Mathematics is ideally suited to provide.1.1.5 Unpacking the Content Standards2.NBT.2Part of the rebuilding of Everyday Mathematics has been unpacking theCommon Core’s content standards into Goals for Mathematical Content (GMC)that are more useful for assessment and differentiation. Consider, for example,the Common Core’s first content standard, K.CC.1: “Count to 100 by ones and bytens” (NGA & CCSSO, 2010, p. 11). This simple standard comprises two differentgoals, counting by ones and counting by tens. In order to be able to assessaccurately and differentiate appropriately, Everyday Mathematics distinguishesthese two goals and tracks each one separately.Section 1Copyright McGraw-Hill Education. Permission is granted to reproduce for classroom use.The Common Core provides approximately two dozen content standards foreach grade, standards that vary widely in grain size and specificity. Somestandards are tightly focused on a single concept or skill; others comprise arange of related skills, concepts, and applications. These standards areembedded in a larger framework of clusters and domains that provide contextand structure. The Common Core’s domains, clusters, and standards provideguidance for the development of curriculum materials and standardizedassessments, but do not have the level of detail classroom teachers need foreffective instruction, accurate assessment, and targeted differentiation.Each grade’s Common Core content standards are unpacked into 45 to 80Everyday Mathematics Goals for Mathematical Content (GMC). The standardsand the corresponding GMCs are listed in the back of each grade’s Teacher’sLesson Guide. Every instructional item and assessment item in EverydayMathematics is linked to one or more of the GMCs.The GMCs are called out in various places throughout the program, such as ineach lesson’s Spiral Snapshot and Assessment Check-In and in every unit’sProgress Check lesson’s table of content assessed. The digital Spiral Trackerdisplays complete GMC information about every activity. Go Online to theSpiral Tracker.For more information,see Section 2.2.1 The Spiral:How Everyday MathematicsDistributes Learning.Constructing an intricately structured program such as Everyday Mathematicsmeans building fine-grained learning trajectories for the mathematical contentspecified in the Common Core. Detailed tracking of that content is necessaryfor accurate assessment and effective differentiation. The GMCs are essentialfor building such trajectories and carrying out such tracking.Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 5Program: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6528/05/15 10:41 amPDF Pass

1.1.6 Useful MathematicsBoth Everyday Mathematics and the Common Core aim to teach studentsmathematics they can use—important mathematical ideas with broadimplications; logically and psychologically coherent mathematics; mathematicsthat is balanced across skills, concepts, and applications; mathematics thatis powerful.But teaching students mathematics they can use doesn’t guarantee that theywill use it. Students also need to come to believe that mathematics is useful.It is not enough that adults believe the mathematics being taught in school isimportant and useful. The students have to believe it, too. Students also haveto come to believe that mathematics is enjoyable and that they aremathematically capable.The Common Core and Everyday Mathematics are designed to developproductive dispositions—habits of mind that will ensure that the mathematicsstudents learn will be used. Both aim at producing students who not onlyknow mathematics, but also like mathematics and are disposed to use it tosolve problems.The Common Core’s practice standards describe proficiencies that include the“habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile,coupled with a belief in diligence and one’s own efficacy” (NGA & CCSSO, 2010,p. 6). The following sections examine these Standards for Mathematical Practice.1.2 Standards for Mathematical PracticeSMP7Section 1The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertisethat mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in theirstudents. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies”with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of theseare the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof,communication, representation, and connections. The second are thestrands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National ResearchCouncil’s report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence,conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts,operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying outprocedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately), andproductive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible,useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one’s ownefficacy). (p. 6)Copyright McGraw-Hill Education. Permission is granted to reproduce for classroom use.The Common Core’s Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) proposenorms for the school mathematics classroom and describe what theclassroom culture should be. The eight SMPs are identical across grades K–12,reflecting the expectation that students will develop proficiency with thepractices over the course of their school careers. The Common Core StateStandards for Mathematics (NGA & CCSSO, 2010) provides an overview.The SMPs are a great fit with Everyday Mathematics. The SMPs and EverydayMathematics both emphasize reasoning, problem solving, use of multiplerepresentations, mathematical modeling, tool use, communication, and otherways of making sense of mathematics. To help teachers build the SMPs intotheir everyday instruction and recognize the practices when they emerge in6Everyday Mathematics & the Common Core State Standards0001 0018 EM4 T IG GK6 S1 140777.indd 627/05/15 4:47 pmProgram: Everyday Math 4Component: Implementation GuideVendor: MPSGrades: K–6PDF Pass

Everyday Mathematics lessons, the authors have developed Goals forMathematical Practice (GMP). These goals unpack each SMP, operationalizingeach standard in ways that are appropriate for elementary students.Each practice is addressed below. The “headline” for each Common Core SMPis followed by
